On November 1 everyone had Halloween candy to eat and Thanksgiving to prepare for, but nobody ever knows what to do with their Halloween costumes.
I am a big fan of re-using costumes. You can throw a costume party to wear it again. Or, if you remember to, you can even hang on to your outfit until the next year.
If you grow out of your costume before you can do something with it, you can still save it. Hand-me-downs are an efficient way to save someone some money—costumes can get expensive.
Instead of giving your outfit away for free, swap with a friend. If you swap with someone your size, your costume will look like it was bought for you; and you’ll be set for next year.
Keeping others in mind, you can donate your costume. Several places will take your old outfits; just a simple search in Google will show you several stores that will take them. Help out some children for less wealthy families—no child deserves to not go trick-or-treating.
Even though Halloween is over for now, do something with your costume. Don’t let the dust pile up on something you could easily get some use out of.
