I need one suitable for a six year old girl and a four year old boy. My sister wants me to pick them since apparently I'm good at it LOL. She has more faith in me than I do. :) Nothing homemade please because she doesn't have time for that and I don't want to end up having to make the costumes for her!

I love the Strawberry Shortcake costume! Charlie Sheen's meant to be a popular choice this year. Yeah, really he is! Seriously LOL.
Despite the troubled economy, Halloween enthusiasts are planning on sparing no expense this year. Americans are expected to spend an average of $72.31 on costumes, candy and decorations, a 9% increase from last year, according to NRF's 2011 Halloween Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey.
Total spending for the holiday is expected to reach $6.86 billion, the most in the NRF survey's nine-year history. A separate survey by PriceGrabber found that 48% of parents intend to purchase a brand-new costume for their child this year. Meanwhile, 24% said they planned to make a costume and only 11% plan to borrow or recycle an outfit. Eighteen percent even plan to dress up the family pet.
For affordable options, a Charlie Sheen mask -- complete with mischievous grin -- costs just $19.99 from Spirit Halloween (#winning T-shirt sold separately). The self-proclaimed warlock is also easy to imitate with tousled hair, black-framed glasses and a simple T-shirt and jeans.

Charlie Sheen? LOL. And as easy as pie too! I would never have come up with that and it's brilliant. I think we'll see a few pregnant Beyonce's this Halloween complete with stuffed pillows. :)

Hahaha who would have thought Charlie Sheen would be a choice for Halloween? I'm dying to know what he thinks about that. I bet he's loving the attention. But how many kids would know who he was? That's the question.
How about this for the girl?
Monster High Frankie Stein Costume.
Price: $13.44.

Or if that's too grown up looking, how about a Strawberry Shortcake Costume? Price: $21.86

Important: the wigs aren't included but you can buy them separately. (There's a cheaper Frankie Stein wig than the one that model's wearing here at $4.45 instead of fifteen bucks for the other one.)
