THAT 'JUST WOKE UP' LOOKIt can be pretty tough to manufacture a carefree hairstyle. You've got to wake up pretty early to get the right tease to the hair. Just enough curl and frizz but not so much that folks can see the effort that you've put into it. So, when you want to go for a look that's really early, there's even more work that's going to happen. That's especially true if you want to go authentic and only use tools that were available in the stone age. Where is that time machine!? DESIGN & DETAILSYou won't have to worry about jumping through time portals or smashing your hair with rocks when you have this Prehistoric Caveman Beard and Wig accessory. We've done all the work for you to make sure that your locks are incredibly full, curly, and tangled as all get-out. The beard matches and attaches with adhesive and an elastic band. ANCIENT BEDHEADMake sure that you look like you've been napping for a really long time with this wig and beard kit. It's perfect for your prehistoric look but also great for your frazzled wizard, bear-wrestling woods-dweller, or for when Rip Van Winkle finally decides to finish up that 100-year nap!
As far as Halloween costume accessories go, hats can make or break your costume. Wearing a hat as part of your costume can be a risky choice if you’re going out. Over time, some hats can become uncomfortable or, if they don’t fit tight, can get knocked off your head easily. You don’t want to spend all night keeping track of your hat. If you’re thinking about some head wear for your costume make sure it’s something that adds significantly to the costume. Obviously, an Abraham Lincoln costume becomes more recognizable with a top hat, or a Charlie Chaplin look will be more complete with a bowler hat. In fact, a bowler hat would look great with a lot of costumes and, if you’re looking for one that will fit comfortably and stay on your head all night, all you need is this black mini bowler hat. This hat features a soft velvet exterior and fits perfectly on your head with the attached elastic string. Add a touch of class to your Halloween costume this year with this black mini bowler.
...grey-eyed Athena slowed the night when night was most profound... - Homer, The OdysseyMost little girls want to be a princess. They want to be rescued by a handsome prince. They want the fairy tale. But that is all it is, a fairy tale. What they really want is a pretty dress, and a story with dragons, and heroic saviors.Now, don't get us wrong. We would take a pretty dress, and a story with dragons everyday of the week. That would be awesome. But sometimes we want a little more. So does your daughter. She doesn’t just want to be a pretty face. She wants to be a Goddess. A wise, and powerful goddess that doesn’t have to rely on anyone to save her. She wants to be intelligent, and strong. (That doesn't mean she can't also have a pretty dress at the same time.)She can be everything she wants to be. She is already brave, and smart. She fights for what she believes in. Now all she needs is this Child Athena Goddess Costume. It will make her feel like the goddess you already know she is. Yes, it will be a pretty dress, but she will also embody Athena, the Goddess of wisdom. The kind of goddess who doesn’t need a man to save her, because she is also the goddess of war. She might not have stories with dragons, but she will have stories where she defeats Titans. It is better to be wise, and fierce, than to just have a pretty dress.
Ruling the NileEgypt was home to many great rulers in the ancient world. Snefru built the first pyramid. Senusret I ushered in an era of peace and prosperity and helped irrigate Faiyum to provide more farmable land in his kingdom. Yet, none of those pharaohs seem to have made quite the mark in the history books quite like a certain queen that become Egypt’s most well-known figure, Cleopatra. Why is that?Well, we happen to think it’s because Cleopatra is a woman of high ambition! Not only did she date the most powerful and most desirable men of her time period, but she also seized control over the Egyptian throne, because her brother mysteriously died when he held power. She also had quite the knack for theatrics. She snuck into Rome by smuggling herself inside of a rug, which was being delivered to Julius Caesar himself. Now that’s a baller move right there! Now, you can easily obtain the look of the renowned leader with this extravagant All Powerful Cleopatra costume.Product DetailsThis exclusive costume comes with many pieces to come together for a regal look, fit for the omnipotent ruler of Egypt. The dress, which is designed by our expert costume designers, is shimmering gold with an overlay, while the belt features gold and black stripes and a drape with hieroglyphics. The costume even comes with a ravishing headpiece. Once you have it all on, you can cruise down the Nile on a barge designed for the ultimate party, or you can wage war on Ptolemy! It’s totally up to you.

Can Do Kind Of GalThe World War Two effort involved everyone. It wasn't just about the men fighting the battles, people back home needed to contribute. Old women took apart clothing to sew and knit bandages, mittens, and warm socks for the soldiers on the front. Children harvested milkweed for life jackets. Families saved fat drippings to make soap for the folks abroad. Stepping up was a matter of civic duty. So when it came to building ships, preparing artillery, and riveting together planes, women proudly stepped up to the plate!

When you're the ruler of the greatest ancient empire on the Nile river, you don't have to worry about what anything costs. Your only concern is keeping up with the most fabulous fashion of the time.

Everything was at your fingertips as far as your great river would stretch. With ruling all of those people, we suppose you had earned it though. Maybe that and a few statues of yourself dotting the riverbanks. A pyramid just for you? So it shall be written, so it shall be done!

While your waiting, this fantastic King Tut headband will be a fantastic place holder to prepare you for the real deal.

Some people put on a polo shirt and a name tag when they go to work. Other guys like Maximus Decimus Meridius, well, they put on a frightening armor and grab a sword. Yes, his line of work involves fighting against hordes of enemies in the ring and a polo shirt with a laminated name tag just doesn't strike fear into blood-crazed foes.

Life as a PioneerThe pioneers were brave people. A picturesque life on the prairie included all sorts of dangers. Relentlessly hot summers gave way to brutally cold winters. People would look up from their work when and see a wall of prairie fires headed toward their farm, growing taller with each foot of grass that was consumed. Then there were the terrifying swarms of locusts that not only ate the crops but would devour the clothes and the clothes line if the laundry hadn't been brought in fast enough.So why, after all that trouble, do we remember the days of the pioneer so fondly? It was a time of hope. Those people with limited options who had only known the crowded city streets of coastal cities could find a place where they could watch the sunset and rise on an open horizon. They could build something all their own and truly be free. The communities out there were the definition of tightly knit. And how awesome would it have been to travel by covered wagon?Product DetailsWhen your daughter dresses as in this dress, she'll feel as free as that pioneer girl collecting herbs and roots on the prairie. You can almost imagine the larks singing in the grasses as she spins around in the long skirt. Whether she's starring as the charming Laura Ingalls Wilder for in the school play or the whole family is headed to a Rendezvous, this costume will make you feel sentimental for that sun-washed, simple time. One thing is for sure, it's hard not to get into character in this ensemble. Next thing you know she'll want to trade in her tablet for hoop and stick game.
So you think you're interested in joining the knight's watch? Well, this isn't a game, boy!

So you don't actually want to go hopping into battle. But for all other costume purposes? Yup, this knight helmet hat is the ticket!
A Lightbulb MomentWe know you’re a brilliant inventor. Just look at that machine you created that can butter bread while also brushing your teeth?

(Yes, it also smashes all your furniture, but don’t be negative!) Now, if you could only perfect your spring-soled shoes that also do your taxes as you bounce to work, you know you’d earn the fame and fortune you deserve!But be careful… There are other inventors out there who are eager to steal your ideas.

The kind of person who would speak the truth at all times? Yeah? Well then, you might have what it takes to be a knight.In the time of knights and kings, when matters of state were dealt with on the battlefield not in the House of Representatives, there needed to be something to keep knights from going rogue. From using their power to overthrow the king, or suppress their subjects. And that was the Code of Chivalry.

You would lay down your life in honorable battle for the good of the Kingdom.Lord direct us
A Sherwood ThingEver notice how medieval peasants seem to know how to have a good time? Their king might be greedy. They might be running from a sheriff on a power trip. They might even be living in a forest. But there's a level of fun that poor fellas had in times gone by that we struggle to achieve in our modern get-togethers. Why else would Robin Hood's men be called Merry? They're always shown strumming on homemade instruments and bugling on second-hand horns while they dance and stomp on the forest floor. Now, we realize that they had to spend time fixing their shelters, hunting, and plotting to disassemble the establishment but when you're dressing up as a Merry Man, you get to do what you want. Whether you're stoking a campfire or twirling a maid around a sun-dappled clearing, it's hard to be grumpy when you're dressed to be merry!Design & DetailsWant a high-quality peasant look that you can wear year after year?

Just make sure that you're ready to skedaddle if that tricky sheriff comes sniffing around!

The Long Way Round Some kids are born explorers. You can tell when they're mere babies. These are the kids that turn over onto their bellies weeks before they're supposed to. They move on to exhibiting an alarming obsession with climbing the stairs and escaping out of doors. Then, when they're in kindergarten they might have a "why" phase, trying to learn as much as they can about the world as fast as possible. If your child is a natural explorer then you've probably found out about his natural tendencies, it's pretty hard to miss!We're sure that Columbus showed off his curious side early on in life, testing the bounds of Italian village life as soon as he was toddling around. And when he was determined to find a new trade route to India, we bet no one was surprised when the explorer stopped at nothing until he had the ships he needed to see what lands lay beyond the Atlantic horizon!Details & DesignDesigned by our in-house creative team, this lush costume is perfect for school presentations, plays, as well as Halloween. The black tunic is belted at the waist. A faux-fur-trimmed coat is layered over top and has a wide cut that was fashionable in Columbus's time. The look is topped off with a hat that would look right at home at the helm of the Santa Maria. Picture PerfectDo you want your child to look like he's stepping out of the past? Finish off this costume with white knee-high socks, black shoes, and a telescope and he'll be ready to represent the man with the new voyage plan. A comfortably warm look, this is a unique choice for Halloween and an A-plus idea for your intrepid young explorer!
”Honest Abe” has to rank as one of the all-time great nicknames in American politics, but when you think about it, there’s a lot of pressure that goes along with that name. When you’re dressed as Honest Abe, people are going to hold you to it: no fibs, no exaggerations, certainly no outright lies. When people see a chin-strap beard and a stovepipe hat coming up the street, they think, “Well, here’s somebody who’s gonna tell it to me straight.” It’s your duty as an Abe Lincoln costume owner to live up to that standard.Of course, if you’re the type who’s thinking of dressing up as our 16th president, we bet you’re not the type to go around spreading misinformation anyway. Honesty is the best policy, after all, and any true Abe admirer knows that by heart. Start your young one off on an honest path with this synthetic, brown beard with a smattering of gray (running a country during the Civil War is a stressful job, after all). The beard secures with an elastic band and adhesive tabs for extra support. It’s an instantly recognizable look that should leave everyone at the costume party honestly impressed.

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.Your son has just gotten the part of Benjamin Franklin in his school play. You knew they were doing a play, and you knew he was going to be trying out, but he kept telling you that he was going to get the part of James Franklin, Ben's brother. But then he got the lead. And you were proud. Then he told you that the school won't be providing the costume.That was two months ago. He has been practicing his lines. Memorizing everything he can for proper immersion into the character. He has even started talking like Franklin. "It's called method acting. Duh." That's what he said to you when you asked about the extra research. Then you remember that you need to get his costume. Now it is the 11th hour, the play is just two weeks away. You need to find that costume, and you need to find it now.Luckily for you, we have this Child Benjamin Franklin Costume.

And when your son asks where the electric clippers are, you know that you will also need to buy the Child Benjamin Franklin Wig to ensure your son doesn't shave the top of his head, then somehow figure out a way to dye the rest of it grey. Maybe he will pick up the old adage about early to bed, early to rise. Probably not though.

It wasn’t too far away, but the rocky and mountainous terrain did make things very difficult at times.Finally, you arrived just as the party began.

The prehistoric bone club was only wielded by the mightiest of Neanderthals; the ones who were strong enough to hunt a menacing dinosaur with a sturdy bone structure. If you're planning on being king of the cave and have your leopard tunic already, adding the mighty bone club to your ensemble is a must.During the dawn of man only the strong survived, and the famed dinosaur club was sure to assert your dominance.

It kind of looks like a shin bone from a poorly drawn Apatosaurus. Or maybe a femur from an oddly-shaped sabre tooth tiger? Not sure. Wherever you want to pretend you found it, works for us.
Prepare for War The enemy Saxons think that they're safe. They have no idea what's in store! Just off the coast of the kitchen floats a Viking longboat.

Even though our professional training is in making Halloween costumes, we have an amateur's enthusiasm for a lot of different occupations. So the part of us that likes to read biographies and volunteer at the local historical society was really psyched about this regal Toddler Knight Costume! Unfortunately, their museum doesn't have any displays about the age of chivalry, since the head-to-toe chain mail fad never quite made it to this part of the world. But we're still really excited, so we thought we'd take a shot at giving this outfit some brief historical context. Ahem:About a thousand years ago, people were so good at putting pointy pieces of metal on the end of sticks, they didn't think there was any room for improvement. But along came a clever (and kind of crazy) blacksmith who realized that linking a bunch of little metal loops together was a really great way to stop pointy pieces of metal from getting to the squishy parts of a person! Everybody who had a suit of this new kind of armor became very popular. In fact, the inhabitants of each village and hamlet handed out candy to these glittering guardians, hoping that they'd stick around for a while. That gave rise to knights, a class of armor-wearers for hire, who went from town to town collecting treats for a living! And sometimes they wore crowns for fun (and dramatic effect).In that proud tradition we humbly offer this detailed outfit, so that anyone can reap the sweet rewards that come from dressing up in a shiny coat of mail! The end!

The Ancient Greeks certainly had style nailed down. Nobility! Finery! Passionate and powerful gods! Nights of wild boasting and debauchery! Whether you have ambitions of high society and the delightful antics that might accompany them or grand designs for a place among the ancient gods, there is certainly one thing that holds true: you must look the part. Our modern day has well remembered this and stolen what we can of the ancient times. You’ve heard of the epic toga parties, no doubt? Well, they might brush against some of the style, but they’re still missing the class!But, take that ancient toga and add in a bit of refinement, some properly placed golden sashes, and a pose that is ready to command whole legions and you quickly are finding yourself in the territory of the divine, whether you are a mortal, yet powerful queen of many or have ascended into the highest peaks of Mount Olympus to claim one of the golden thrones as a goddess. The trouble is figuring which you’d prefer. It seems like a silly question: queen or goddess? Who would possibly choose to give up godhood!? But, those ancient Greek gods are a tough lot! Constantly fighting over even minor things and getting themselves into a ton of trouble. Maybe it’d be easier to simply have to deal with mortal affairs!The choice can be yours with this Spartan Queen costume. Don’t let the name fool you, because this backless white halter-style dress could be divine just on its own! But, add a ribbon band below the bust with golden detailing, another at your waist, and then a swath of crisscrossing gleaming white fabric over a floor-length skirt and you have a gown that breaks the confines of time itself. Choose the right accessories, including a goddess wig, golden armbands, or a gold leaf circlet and you could tell Zeus it is time to step down and let reign the first Goddess Queen!
