We understand fickle children and their phases. We distinctly remember wanting to become a ballerina, then a doctor, then a pirate (long before wanting to be merely well-rested).
Enter, stage left: The Dress Up Club. This is one club we want our (sometimes) angels to join because they have the best dress code: Imagination!
Like that record house we joined during our “look like Madonna” phase, a Dress Up Club membership ($17.95) allows three free costumes from their extensive costume catalogue (regularly $24.99 each), a personalized costume trunk, and discounts on the next three costumes purchased within 12 months. (That sure beats a free Falco CD!)
For more clowning around (literally), choose costumes for themed birthday parties. Who doesn’t love the idea of eight little ninjas ($124.99 reg./$109.99 members) in the living room? (OK then, how about rescue heroes or a royal wedding? A PG reenactment of Kitchen Nightmares anyone?)
Gift certificates (from $10) can be purchased and applied toward membership or costumes – something to have in our holster (next to the painkillers) for that cowboy phase.
