Kids just love dressing up - and like most kids, we have a huge selection of dress ups collected through the years. But nothing beats a truly spooky costume on Halloween… This year my boys are loving a Glow in the Dark Bat Skeleton Costume*. The once design has  attached wings, all with printed skeleton print that glows in the dark when the print is activated under daylight or a bright light before use. My kids think is is the best ever, and that it makes them look so scary!!  It is made from polyester, but is a great fit and easy for even a little kid to put on.  But my boys also love the Organic Cotton Glow in the Dark Halloween Pyjama set*. The two piece set is made from organic cotton so it is super soft and comfortable to sleep in. And like the costume, the pyjamas has a printed on skeleton design that glows in the dark, when exposed to daylight or bright light.  As a parent, my favourite is without a doubt the pyjamas as it makes for better value, as they will get so much more we

Halloween… the annual event kids absolutely love. And what’s not to love. Its all about dressing up and eating lollies. I totally get it. But from a parents perspective it can quickly become an expensive event. But thankfully Reject Shop always has everything you need, and without it costing a fortune.  This year, we especially love the spooky LED Candelabra. They look super cool - like old steel decorated with sculls, yet they’re made from light plastic, and the flickering light is so cool, yet they are LED with replaceable batteries, not only makes them safe around kids, but also means they can be used year after year. Perfect! And add to that the spiderweb with very realistic-looking spiders and you’ve got one spooky room!!  And of course, there’s no Halloween without lollies - and this huge orange Trick-or-Treat candy bowl is perfect for all the treats for family and friends. The small buckets are perfect for Treat-or-Treating - not that, thanks to Covid, that will happen this year
