We purchase every product we review with our own funds — we never accept anything from product manufacturers.

When it’s trick or treat time, we have to say there’s something more impactful in a costume designed for two, whether you are taking costumes that have been ripped from the headlines (presidents and foe are always a perennial), something cute and cuddly (Mickey and Minnie) or if you want to get plain scary. Remember that the devil is in the details (literally), and sometimes it’s the accessories and makeup that will make the look perfect. Don’t think you have to stick to Bonnie and Clyde — there are some pretty creative couples Halloween costumes out there, so think outside the box.
