    Hi,
    Have you looked in charity shops? I saw a woody from toy story outfit in one of my locals the other day!

    Or maybe he could go as somrthing to do with halloween...I know it will be 5 days ago but an idea?..especially if you get together with a few of the other parents and suggest it to them too so your little boy won't be the odd one out? :confused:

    Sorry if I wasn't much help!

    Went in a shop called The Entertainer today and they were selling Thunderbirds costumes off for £5, also Batman costumes were £10. I picked up a catalogue and they have stores up and down the country also online at https://www.the entertainer.com.

    I think Woolworths have got these on 3 for 2 at the moment. If you get together with another Mum or 2 that would cut the cost or if you buy the others as xmas gifts.

    Sorry if I've not been much help.

    In the past I have made fancy dress. I once got a meter of silver material and made a space girl dress for my dd, you could maybe make a basic top in silver or something. A wizard is always a good bet as well.
