Start Early to Snag the Best Deals
According to recent trends, shopping early for Halloween is becoming more popular than ever. In fact, about 47% of consumers begin their Halloween shopping before October, based on the National Retail Federation's latest survey. Starting your shopping in September (or even late August) gives you access to a wider selection of costumes, decorations, and candy before stores start to run out of stock.
Early shopping also means you can take advantage of the best deals. Many retailers offer early-bird discounts or sales before the rush of October begins. For those with their eyes on popular or trending costumes—such as this year’s hottest anime characters or viral TikTok looks—buying early is key to ensuring you get your first choice.
Plan Ahead for Popular Items
Some items are bound to be popular, whether you're looking for Squid Game-inspired costumes, Demon Slayer characters, or Cuban-inspired men's jewelry to complete a spooky yet stylish look. If you wait until the last minute, you may face shortages or have to settle for less-than-ideal options.
For jewelry shoppers, Halloween is also an excellent time to find the perfect accessories to complement your costume. If you're dressing as a pirate, vampire, or any other glamorous character, consider checking out our store’s 925 sterling silver bracelets and chains. These pieces are great for Halloween and versatile enough to wear throughout the year!
When to Shop for Decorations and Candy
While costumes often require early shopping, decorations and candy can typically wait until October if you’re not too particular. However, starting early allows you to have everything set up before the rush, giving you time to create a spooky atmosphere without the stress of last-minute shopping.
For those aiming to throw a Halloween party, decorations like pumpkins, fake webs, and lights tend to sell out quickly, so it’s wise to pick them up in advance. Shopping early also allows you to create DIY decorations with more time and thought, bringing a personal touch to your space.
What About Last-Minute Shoppers?
If you find yourself in October without a costume or the right accessories, don’t worry! Some stores stock up closer to the holiday, and many online retailers offer fast shipping options to cater to late planners. Just remember that waiting too long could limit your choices, especially for unique or trending items.
However, jewelry tends to make an excellent last-minute addition to costumes. A statement chain or bracelet from our Cuban collection can transform even a simple costume into a Halloween masterpiece. These pieces are also a great way to stand out from the crowd and add a touch of elegance to your spooky look.

Halloween is all about creativity and fun, but the key to pulling off the perfect celebration is planning ahead. By starting your shopping early, you’ll have access to the best deals, the most popular items, and the freedom to enjoy the season without the stress.
