Halloween Giveaway: Enter to Win 70 Full-Sized Twix Candy Bars

October 19, 2011 By Whitney 274 Comments

I just could not resist this one. Not only is Twix one of Nate’s favorite candy bars, it’s one of mine too! I’ll clearly be doomed on Halloween night as I usually try and giveaway some sort of candy I can’t stand so I’m not tempted. But this year, I’ll be giving away full sized Twix candy bars. Which may actually prevent my two little ninjas from ever wanting to leave the house since it doesn’t get much better than this. Yum.

Giveaway: One lucky Mommies with Style reader will also receive 70 full-sized Twix candy bars! They will be shipped overnight after Wednesday, October 26th – the day I’ll pick the winner.

Halloween Giveaway: Win a $100 Gift Card to HalloweenExpress.com

October 4, 2011 By Whitney 174 Comments

It’s that time of year again! Time to shop for Halloween costumes. (Unless you’re the crafty make it yourself type, which I know I’m not.) Costumes can get expensive so I have a great giveaway for one lucky winner.

PromotionalCodes.com is sponsoring a giveaway for us – one lucky Mommies with Style winner can enter to win a $100 gift card to HalloweenExpress.com. That should be enough to cover a couple of kids Halloween costumes! Woo!

Budget-Friendly Tips for cutting halloween costume costs

We’ll spend a frightful amount of money on Halloween this year: $6.86 billion. From costumes to colorful cosmetics, candy, decorations and more, costs quickly add up when prepping for the big night. This year, don’t get tricked out of funds and treat yourself to monster savings. Get creative and take advantage of limited time online offers for the best savings!

Here are a few tips to keep savings on your side:

1. Browse your closet for costume creations. Old clothes and even curtains and sheets can be transformed into festive attire. Unworn shirts can be cut up for a sash or vest, a bridesmaids dress makes a great princess or harem girl costume and an oversized orange sweatshirt is the perfect pumpkin for your child. Also browse the internet for DYI ideas—the key is creativity.

2. Search thrift stores for inexpensive costumes and accessories. Buying old clothes saves money and also helps green-up the environment. Don’t forget to look for used costumes on the Internet at Craigslist or eBay.

3. Use online coupons for costume savings. Sites like PromotionalCodes.com and CouponWinner.com offer hundreds of money-saving coupons for costumes, decorations, accessories, candy and more. These sites have special Halloween categories that are currently featuring promotional codes for 15, 30, and 40 percent off Halloween costumes and accessories, including special discounts from Halloween Express.

4. Organize a costume swap. Get your friends together and trade children and adult costumes. Or you could do this within your neighborhood or office. Others will love your money-saving idea, plus you’ll probably get a free costume!

5. Buy next year’s costume at extremely discounted prices after Halloween. Start saving for next year now and shop after the haunting celebration to score anywhere from 60 to 80 percent off costumes and accessories.

To enter the giveaway, comment below and tell us about yours (and your kids) Halloween plans this year! One winner will be selected at random after October 11th.

Extra entries:

Custom Halloween Totes from Munchkin Designs

October 16, 2009 By debbie Leave a Comment

I’m always searching last minute for some sort of bag that my kids can take trick or treating with them on Halloween. I always forget until it’s the night before and scramble to find something that is cute and sturdy for the loads of candy my kids come home with. So when I was sent a Custom Trick or Treat Tote to check out, I was thrilled to already have one for this year (and so was my daughter)! These Custom Trick or Treat Totes are adorable and available in a Skull or Pirate design. My daughter loved the Pink Skull graphic tote we received with long handles that can be carried in her hand or on her shoulder. It’s the perfect size to carry all of the goodies she will receive on Halloween. I love that once Halloween is long gone she can use it for just about anything thanks to the large size and the lightweight sturdy fabric it is made from!

Little ghosts & goblins will adore this Custom Trick or Treat Tote for Halloween and beyond! Place your order by October 23rd to guarantee Halloween delivery. Receive free shipping on any order plus $10 off orders of $50 or more with code MWS09 (offer expires 10/23/09).

Media Round-Up: Lots of Great Halloween Movies

September 7, 2009 By Whitney Leave a Comment

Pooh’s Heffalump Halloween Movie DVD: Gift Set with Plush Pooh – Such a cute gift idea for a Halloween birthday. Look for it in-store because it may be kind of tough to get online (Amazon seems to only have Amazon Marketplace buying options), but if you can find it – this bundle of Pooh’s Heffalump Halloween movie Gift Set with a plush Pooh Bear (dressed as Tigger) is adorable.

Hit Entertainment: Trick or Treat Tales – my kids love these assorted show DVDs that come out seasonally from Hit Entertainment. This one includes Bob the Builder, Barney, Fireman Sam and Fifi in various Halloween-related episodes.

Shaun the Sheep: Little Sheep of Horrors – more Halloween with Shaun the Sheep’s Little Sheep of Horrors.

Spongebob Squarepants: The First 100 Episodes – An awesome Holiday present this year fort the Spongebob fan would be Spongebob Squarepant’s First 100 Episodes box set. It releases on September 22nd of this year but you can pre-order it on Amazon for $64.99. (it’s retailing for $100 so although that price sounds steep it’s actually quite a discount!) I don’t know how anyone could get through 40+ hours of all Spongebob, but hey, anything’s possible with sick days and snow days, right?

Little Einsteins: Fire Truck Rocket’s Blast Off – releasing tomorrow, September 8th, is the latest from our pals the Little Einsteins. And releasing right along side it on the same day is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Adventures in Wonderland. Always good for our little preschool friends. (Hint – get them both together on Amazon to receive a discount. Stocking stuffers!)

For all you Bluray fans, Disney Princess – Enchanted Tales: Follow your Dreams is being re-released with a special Bluray edition.

iCarly: Season 2, Volume 1 – I’m sure tweens and teen fans alike will be happy to collect the first release of iCarly’s second season, which released August 18th.

Bakugan: Heroes Rise, Vol 4 – I’m just waiting for it here. Earlier in 2009, my 5-year old had a huge obsession with Bakugan. I think he fried out on it a bit as right now he’s currently into other things. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before he’s right back into the Bakugan world and asking for this latest DVD release, Bakugan: Heroes Rise, Vol 4. (Note that these episodes are from Season 1)

LeapFrog: Let’s Go to School – loving all of these new educational yet entertaining DVDs from LeapFrog including this Let’s Go to School release. It’s a steal at only $8.99 on Amazon and it’s a good video for any kids who entered a new school this fall or are dealing with a school transition.

Bob the Builder: Call in the Crew – there are 5 episodes in this latest release from Bob the Builder.
