Halloween in Davis has a familiar rhythm: golden afternoons, then a sudden chill the moment the sun drops behind the porch lights. Little ones who were too warm at four o'clock are shivering by seven. Our answer is simple and a little bit magic: pajamas that glow, layers that disappear under any costume, and something soft waiting at home for the candy count. Here is what we're reaching for this year, all on our shelves now and gathered in our Halloween shop.
Pajamas That Glow After Dark
The best Halloween pajamas pull double duty. They're festive enough for October bedtimes and costume-ready when the doorbell starts ringing.
- Glow-in-the-Dark Skeleton 2-Piece Pajama Set – Black ($38). A full skeleton on the front and back that glows softly once the lights go out, finished with crisp white ribbed cuffs. In 100% cotton, it's a cozy bedtime set and a no-fuss costume all in one. Sizes 6 months to 7 years.
- Glow-in-the-Dark Ghost Bat Wing Romper + Hat – Black ($46). Bat wing sleeves, an embroidered ghost that glows, "Trick or treat" across the back, and a pom-pom knit hat to match. Baby's first Halloween, beautifully done.
- Glow-in-the-Dark Halloween Garland Bamboo Pajama Set – Orange ($19.99). Buttery bamboo with a festive garland print that lights up at bedtime. Toddler sizes.
- Glow-in-the-Dark Costumed Ghosts Bamboo Convertible Romper – Purple ($19.99). A two-way zipper makes the middle-of-the-night change easy. The tiny ghosts in costumes are the sweetest detail.
A quick tip: set glow prints under a bright lamp for a few minutes before heading out. The glow is brightest right after charging and fades gently through the evening.
The Costume Layer: A Little Black Set and the Right Tights
Every great costume starts with a good base. A close-fitting, soft layer keeps them warm under tulle, capes and wings, and it means they won't need a coat zipped over the top of the costume.
- Ribbed Lettuce-Edge 2-Piece Set – Black ($38). Silky modal rib with a lettuce edge at every hem. Add ears and a tail for a black cat, or a hat and broom for a witch. When October is over, it goes right back into the pajama drawer.
- Super Soft Velvet Leggings – Black ($29.99, sizes 3 to 10) and Toddler Velvet Leggings – Classic Black ($29.99, 6 months to 3 years). Plush and warm, and polished enough for holiday dressing later.
- Shimmer Tights – Black ($24.99). A subtle metallic thread that catches the porch lights, made for witches, bats and starry-night anything.
- Kitty Face Tights – Black & White ($12.99). Kitty faces on the toes. The black cat costume, complete.
- Sparkle Sequined Tulle Tutu – Halloween Purple Cat ($29.99). Layer it over the black set or leggings and she's ready to twirl.
- Ribbed Turtleneck – White ($24.99). The softest start to a little ghost, and a wardrobe staple long after.
Warm Feet, Cozy Outerwear
Trick-or-treating is a walking holiday. A few warm pieces make the difference between one more block and an early trip home.
- Waterproof Glow-in-the-Dark Booties – Outer Space Black ($98). Waterproof, warm, and they glow, so they're well suited to damp lawns and dark sidewalks. Kids' sizes 8 to 12.
- Knit Sherpa-Lined Moccasin Booties – Natural & Blue or Tan & Blue ($16.99). Soft, fleece-lined and easy to slip on, for the walk out and the evening in.
- Knit + Sherpa Reversible Hooded Coat – Violet ($76). Little ears on the hood make it a costume all its own.
- Plaid Sherpa-Lined Jacket – Blue ($56). A classic for crisp nights, sized 6 months to 5T.
- Fox Knit Beanie with Ears ($19.99). Warm ears for toddlers and an instant fox costume.
After the Candy Count
Once the bags are sorted and the last piece of candy has been negotiated, there's nothing better than something soft.
- Plush Cable Sherpa Fleece Pajama Set – Ivory ($29.99). Fuzzy, relaxed and very hard to take off. Kids' sizes 4 to 8.
- Fleece-Lined Cozy Socks – Tan/Beige ($9.99). For the grown-up who walked every block.
