Go Big This Halloween 🎃
Summerween
Summerween started in America with people who loved Halloween so much, they decided to celebrate it twice, a little like Christmas in July. For Aussies, it makes perfect sense. Think pool parties with floaties, lightweight costumes, and watermelons carved instead of pumpkins.
If you’re looking for a playful way to bring Halloween to life while it’s still light out, Summerween is the way to go, bright, bold, and uniquely ours.
Costume Ideas 2025
The days of only scary costumes are gone this year, it’s all about looks that are cool, creative, and made to be remembered.
We’re expecting:
- Demon Hunters after the success of Netflix’s fantasy hit.
- Showgirls, inspired by Taylor’s newly announced album.
- Racing looks, thanks to the hype around Brad Pitt’s new F1 film.
Costumes aren’t just about dressing up anymore they’re about capturing a vibe, a reference, or a cultural moment.
But if you’re still craving something spook-tacular, don’t worry — the classics are here to stay. Think witches, skeletons, vampires, and ghosts making their big comeback this Halloween.
For the little spookers, head to The Reject Shop and TSG Kippa-Ring News for shelves of inspiring costumes and accessories. From Werewolves to Fairies and everything in between, your little ones will be spoiled for choice with outfits that bring their favourite characters to life.
Halloween Snacks
Halloween food is getting just as creative as the costumes. Think finger hotdogs, ghost strawberries, mummy-wrapped bananas, and even edible band-aids made from vanilla wafers and red icing.
And it doesn’t stop at kids’ parties, the grown-ups are having fun too. Blackberry margaritas, pumpkin spice espresso martinis, and blood-red sangria jugs are making their way onto Halloween tables. It’s all about food (and drinks) that look just as fun as they taste. Make yourself a shopping list and head to Woolworths, Kippa Ring Gourmet Meats, Kippa Ring Bakehouse & BWS.

Halloween Glam
Finally, Halloween isn’t complete without a little glam. Nails are leading the way from ghost jelly tips and spiderweb designs to bold blacks, oranges, and sparkles. The Nail Boutique is the place to go for your Halloween set!
And don’t forget the finishing touches that take your costume to the next level - think black eyeliner for cat whiskers, zombie stitches, or a touch of fake blood for that spooky edge. You’ll find all the makeup must-haves at Priceline Pharmacy, Woolworths and The Reject Shop.
This year, Go Big! 🎃
