Yes, absolutely. Well, we will jump right in with Jazwares, the makers of the hottest costumes. They have wowed me by doing exactly what we had hoped. They took our favorite toys and turned them into a line of costumes. So now our Squishmallows that we love to squeeze and hold and snuggle with, we can actually wear. We've got our Gwendolyn Strawberry Bat, soft and squishy just like the real thing, but now we can put it on our little ones. Hey, the adults can get in on the fun too. We've got our Skatana Skeleton Unicorn. We can layer clothes underneath these if it's cold out. They're really comfortable to wear, and they even thought of a treat pail. So now instead of the pillowcase that my kids always had, they can utilize this treat pail, fill it up with their favorite candy, and it's the best of all worlds. Now when it comes to superheroes, Jazwares has us covered there. How about the world of Marvel for the little ones? A Spider-Man or a Miles Morales Deluxe Zenai costume, really comfortable stretchy material, all one piece, comes with a mask they can choose to take on or off, you know, when they need to eat the candy as they go. And then I've got on our Spider-Gwen Zenai costume, all one piece again, very comfortable. I've chosen not to wear the mask today, but it comes with that as well. They even have Marvel for pets, so be sure to look for that. And I can't resist the Deadpool Unicorn Rider inflatable costume. This is amazing. As you walk down the street as Deadpool, you're actually going to be riding on a unicorn. It's an inflatable, it's got a little fan built in, but a lot of fun from the family of Marvel. Now for the ultimate sci-fi enthusiast, this is it: Star Wars Darth Vader Primux costume. Yes, incredible authenticity, highest quality materials, detailed armor, light up features, even a custom storage case. Yes, with Darth Vader and Star Wars right there. So Jazwares is here to help make Halloween memorable. Head to Target, Amazon, or Walmart to find all these awesome costumes.
