"My name is Erin and as a '90s baby, I, of course, loved Beanie Babies. I decided I wanted to be the “Erin” Beanie Baby for Halloween. My mom went all out, she even handmade the tag, and it opened and had all of the text the regular tag did!" —erinnnnn

2. This costume that looks straight out of 101 Dalmatians:

"This is 11-year-old me as Cruella de Vil, with my 9-year-old sister and my cousin as Dalmatians. My mom found the velour dress at Goodwill and added the faux leopard front piece to the top of it. She also trimmed the faux tiger stripe cape with a red boa. But the gloves were my favorite part, we glued long fake black nails on the outside since I was too young to actually have the nails put on. My teachers didn’t recognize me and I won the costume contest at my middle school!!!" —emmas4a01d0ff0

3. This way-too-adorable Rini costume:

But man, that costume was the best." —beccaforce

"When I was in kindergarten I had to have a costume that began with the same letter as my first name. Like the procrastinator I am I waited until the last minute to tell my mom that I needed this costume, so she stayed up all night painting this Jell-O box for me. The sides and back were also painted, and it included the nutritional facts, ingredients, and the barcode. Thanks, Mom!!!" —joshb4dd831c3c

21. This historical costume:
