A good costume doesn’t have to be expensive: often one strong detail, like a wig, a cape or sequin braces, is enough. Gribzy stocks full costumes for kids and adults, over 50 wigs and hundreds of accessories. Here are ideas for the coming parties: Mardipäev and Kadripäev, New Year’s Eve and themed parties, plus ready-made sets.

Mardipäev and Kadripäev

On 10 and 25 November, Estonian children go door to door in costume. Mardipäev costumes are dark, Kadripäev costumes light. Everyday clothes plus one or two accessories are all you need.

A wizard is the easiest Mardipäev look: cape, beard and broom.

For kids: witch, vampire and Joker costumes, and a tiger costume for ages 10 to 12.

Costume party tips

1. One strong detail beats ten weak ones.
2. Size up, since costumes often go over clothes.
3. Try it on a few days before so you can order anything missing.
4. Kids need comfort to run and play.
5. Use a wig cap for long hair.
6. Give guests a theme in the invitation, like “neon and 80s”.
