The 15 Most Outrageous Halloween Costume Ideas

Have you heard about our free costume concierge service? In case you don't know yet, a simple email to DIYeasy@primary.com can hook you up with custom DIY costume help this Halloween, whether it's executing your child’s idea, or suggesting a costume if you're stumped. One of the best parts of offering our concierge (besides helping out our beloved Primary customers, of course!) is seeing what requests come in every year. Some are sweet and traditional, some are trendy and fun, and some...well, some leave us scratching our heads and smiling. Here are 15 of the zaniest costume ideas we've received this year...

15. Baby Iris Apfel

Because as this fashion icon once said, "More is more and less is a bore."

14. Mop & bucket, for siblings 

Cleanup in aisle CUTE!

13. Oyster

Making the world of Halloween costumes their oyster since 2019. 

12. Fishing rod 

Reeling in allll the candy has never been easier.

11. Italian meatball 

"I'm not a regular meatball. I'm an ITALIAN meatball!" 

10. Blue sock 

Go ahead, trick-or-treat your sock(s) off. 

9. McDonald's chicken nugget & sauce packet 

Ba da ba ba bah, we're lovin' it. 

8. Baby Paul Hollywood

Now that's a nicely baked idea. 

7. Speaker (that plays music, not a person)

We'll have to turn the creativity ALL the way up for this one. 

6. Hammer drill

We appreciate the specificity.

5. Dog bowl

If only we knew the inspiration behind this request. 

4. Princess Diana, on her way to the gym 

Princesses wear more than just gowns and tiaras, you know. 

3. The number 3

We're on board, as long as there's no sugar "three" candy involved.

2. Pumpkin robot dog

To the requester...we love this for you...whatever it may be. 

1. A magnet that actually works 

Way better than being a magnet that *doesn't* work.
