Posted on September 15th, 2021 by Rachel Jackson

As Halloween draws closer, so too does the obligatory outfit panic. “What do I wear?” is often a question fraught with anxiety; the expectation for outfits to be glamorous, original, fun, but still halloween-appropriate, makes it difficult to come up with new ideas every year, let alone execute them without breaking the bank. No need to stress, however, because the team at TheGivingMachine have put together a list of Halloween Costume Ideas that can be emanated without spending hundreds on a fancy outfit. The great part is, most of these outfits use normal items of clothing that can be worn again long after October has come and gone. From movie characters to new takes on Halloween classics, we’ve found outfit ideas that are bound to inspire you this year.

Remember, whilst finding your next perfect Halloween outfit, you can also donate to your favourite charities at no extra cost. Simply shop through us for all your Halloween treats to raise free donations for the cause that matters to you.
