Hot Tips: Don’t forget to stock very small costume sizes (babies are part of the party, too) and holiday pet costumes. We’re not making this up: Pet Clothing and Accessories are one of the hottest retail categories around. I know a blonde dachshund who had THREE Halloween costumes last year … two more than me.
