Dress-up trunks

[SheriRae]

I'm really wanting to get my dd a dress-up trunk for Christmas. Any suggestions?

Anyone have any experience with the dress-up trunks from TRU? Am I better off putting my own together? If I put my own together it will probably be much pricer, but I would think the quality would be better.

Am I over thinking this?? : )

Any suggestions would be awesome!

TIA

I think if you can find bargains you could buy your own stuff cheaper than the TRU sets.

Last year I had asked everyone who wanted to buy ds a gift to find something to contribute to a dress up trunk (hats, bandanas, sunglasses, old clothes...) but no one did. :( This year though I had the idea to go to Kmart, Kohls' and Target the days after Halloween and I picked up a ton of heavily discounted costumes and accessories. So, maybe some stores still have some of their costumes lingering online? DOubtful though. It really could just be a project you continuously add on to if you have a little something to get started now.

Just my thoughts; sorry I don't have any recommendations for a ready made product. I know I researched them last year and there must be some reason I didnt go with any of them but my brain is empty now. :)

The one at Costco seems pretty nice. It has three complete outfits with a bunch of accessories and a storage chest for $40.

We have a similar trunk from Costco- and in store it is only $29. My daughter loves it. I do want to add some other dress up things though so she can pretend to be someone who is ---gasp----not a princess!


Happy Shopping!

i bought one from lillian vernon for my dd's 3rd birthday. honestly, i think i would have been better off making my own box and buying things i liked from target, dollar store, michaels, christmas tree store, etc.
