There's nothing more impressive than a good DIY Halloween costume. With so many cookie-cutter costumes out there, taking the time to make or even assemble something different can make people say "WOW! Why didn't I think of that?" You may still need to buy accessories like shoes, belts and gloves, but it's great to see people wearing a Halloween costume that's exactly what they wanted. Maybe you're a fan of the unidentified alien that was cut from the Mos Eisley cantina scene. Perhaps you wanted to bring your favorite board game character to life, like Ms. Scarlet from Clue. You can even put a unique spin on a classic Halloween costume too! The sky's the limit when you harness the power of your imagination!

Harley's back! One of the best parts about Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey was seeing all of her new outfits. She had quite a few new outfits in the film, some of which are easier to recreate than others. (We're looking at you, clear caution tape and ribbon-sleeved jacket!) One of the easiest Harley Quinn outfits to recreate from the new film is her distressed tee and shorts look. If you're looking for a Harley Quinn cosplay that's comfortable, recognizable and a lot of fun, this is the costume for you!

The calendar year is absolutely filled with minor holidays that we often giggle about, but don't really take the time to celebrate. Take your teddy bear to work day, leave a zucchini on your neighbor's porch day and other officially unofficial holidays haven't found enough traction to be more than a silly Instagram or Twitter post. However, Galentine's Day is different. Celebrated on February 13th, the day before Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day celebrates women and their gal pals. You can follow in the footsteps of Parks and Rec Leslie Knope (the Galentine's Day founder) by having breakfast with your besties, or by exchanging small gifts of appreciation for your BFFs and handing out Galentines! If you're on the hunt for some empowering women warrior Galentines, check out our fierce Birds of Prey Galentines. They're sure to be a hit!

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who LOVE Halloween festivities at work, and those who—gasp!—don't. If you're in the "pro" column, it's likely because you dig the camaraderie and change of pace. Or you're a Halloween freak like us! We love All Hallow's Eve and celebrate it anywhere we can, especially at work. We're a costume company, after all—it's not just welcomed, it's expected! The other side of the coin isn't just for buzzkills and party-poopers, though. It's where stockbrokers, doctors, and other more serious jobs reside. But they have a point. We took a poll at HC's headquarters and only two people said they'd be okay with a clown driving their ambulance. Still, it's not an open-and-shut case. Whether you're an accountant, big-time sales manager, or a Kindergarten teacher, we believe that you can infuse a little trick-or-treat flair into your ensemble on October 31st or Dress-Up Day.

The Lego Batman Movie is only days away from its theatrical debut and one of the world’s greatest superheroes is back in action. This time, he’s searching for a dangerous Gotham City criminal who is at large and has been known to follow a pattern... Perhaps, a cross stitch pattern.
