Forget about those devil, ghost, and goblin getups. Those are so 1999 (not to mention those types of costumes on a kid can be hella creepy). Do something a little different this year and dress your kid as a cuddly animal or even an inanimate object. (Who knew strawberries could be so adorable?)

If you’re not the crafty “I-like-to-show-off-and-make-my-kid’s-Halloween-costume” type, get inspired with this collection of unique, complete, and easy-to-order costumes. Most are reasonably priced, and all are distinctive and cool costume ideas that will definitely impress.

  • Plush Pony

    I don't know what kid hasn't wanted a pony at some point or another. Make their dreams come true (at least for a night) with this super cute plush pony costume.

    Your baby will be the cutest king (or queen) of the jungle in this adorable lion costume. It's even got snap legs for easy diaper changes - because no one wants a soggy lion.

  • Berry Cute Girl's Costume

    I don't know if this costume will win your kid any costume contests, but who cares? It's super cute! This costume goes up to size 2T and is a steel at $27.

    These Tom Arma costumes can be a little pricey... but they're SO stinkin' cute! The hefty price tag can be offset by reselling the costume on Ebay later. Well worth the effort after you've got awesome pics of your adorable amphibian that will last for a lifetime. (At HalloweenExpress.com)

  • "Time Out" Baby Costume

    I'm so not an advocate of dressing children up as criminals, but the colorful tattoos that come with this "time out" costume had me tickled. I think the "Play Pen" wording stamped across the front takes this costume from gloomy to adorable.

  • Kids King Costume

    Have a son who's an ultimate "pretty boy"? Give him the opportunity to be royalty for the day with this super cute king costume. Perfect costume for your tiny "Prince". (At CostumeCraze.com)

  • Hand Made Snow White Costume

    Yes, you read that price correctly. I had to put a splurge on the list - For the parent who is totally nostalgic. Think of this authentic looking Snow White costume as an investment. This can be passed throughout the family from child to child, or keep it and pass it down to your children for THEIR children to wear. It's hand made and will last for a life time. - Not to mention that it's absolutely adorable.
