Props for Christmas Costumes

The right props for Christmas costumes are essential if you want to make a strong impression. Your outfit will really be remembered if you go the whole nine yards, and that usually requires adding a few finishing touches to really give it an authentic feeling. Not only do costumes demand props, so too do school and church performances. Make the most of the big occasion!

Make your costume memorable!

Never underestimate the power of a great accessory. Just imagine a gorgeous gown worn to the Oscars without diamonds dripping from the ears, dangling from the wrists and hanging from the neck. Imagine a pair of ho-hum shoes instead of a dazzling pair of designer heels to complete the look. Clearly, a few accessories make the final product so much more appealing.

This holds true just as much for costumes as for everyday wear – in fact, perhaps more so! Imagine Santa Claus without his hat and beard, an angel without wings and a halo or a princess without a wand. Don't leave your costume incomplete. A few suitable props will ensure a truly authentic look that's sure to leave a lasting impression.

The Internet is crowded with costume boutiques that carry everything you need, from the entire costume to the smaller accessories. There are certain items that you probably wouldn't even think of until you came across them, and that's the beauty of trolling through these boutiques and collecting each item as you find it. Here are a few props for Christmas costumes that will transform your holiday outfit into something even more spectacular!

Your bad attitude will only get you so far. Sometimes you need your apparel to do the talking for you. Consider getting a Bah Humbug! holiday hat. It'll really come in handy if you're feeling more naughty than nice. Not only is it the most appropriate accessory of all for a Scrooge costume, it's also surprisingly cozy. In other words, you'll stay warm even if your demeanor is (temporarily) chilly.

Maybe he's not exactly the jolly Saint Nick type. It's no matter – Santa can still show off his outdoorsy roots with this camouflage Santa hat. It's a great conversation piece and is sure to appeal to the man who would rather not don the traditional red cap.

How's this for angelic? You've got your ethereal white outfit picked out; now all that's left is the halo. A sweet, white halo hat can be a terrific prop for the holidays. With the velour hat's sexy maribou trim and glimmering silver halo, it's the ideal choice for a woman who's a little bit naughty and nice.

No elf outfit is complete without a pair of fun and kooky elf shoes. They stand out in an appropriate red and green color combination, and feature a small metal bell that jingles and jangles with each step. An elastic ankle-strap ensures a great fit.

Wave a metal icicle wand around to turn heads and command the attention of everyone in the room! Little girls will love carrying this with their princess, ballerina, queen or angel costumes. It's versatile, too – use it to accompany an appropriate Halloween or Easter costume.

Grab your red nose, your brown suit and, oh yes, don't forget your antlers! A pair of adorable reindeer antlers can top off any holiday outfit. Perfect for adults and children alike, these antlers slip on with ease, cute as the crowning touch for a reindeer costume or to wear with your every day clothes to show your holiday spirit.
