Halloween I go ever year just to look at all the costumes and decorations that they have. It is always amazing to go and see what they did for decorations.

Some of the costumes are pricey but if you pick something that you like and add to it each year then it is not so bad. From balloons to banners check it out and make sure that each special day ex:.

October is upon us and I've decided that I'm dedicated to actually getting ahead of the game and…read moreputting my Halloween costume together early. Normally the week before my bestie's annual Halloween party involves a great deal of stress, threatening to bow out of party, and frantically calling friends to find costume. So Boyfriend and I headed to Spirit Halloween to find some inspiration. This Spirit branch opens mid-September (for the truly early birds) and has an extensive selection of adult and kids costumes, though they're of the more "typical" variety. As is Halloween tradition, apparently if you're a woman, you're pretty much pigeon-holed into going as a whore if you decide to buy one of the off-the-shelf options. That's not really my bag, and they do have lots of pieces that you can buy separately to build a more creative costume yourself. A little surprisingly, also experienced pretty good customer service here too -- one salesperson was super knowledgeable about removal of red fake blood and the other was chatty and personable at the cash register. Getting closer to the big day, I hope they get more staff, as these two looked pretty overworked already. A nice feature: with your purchase, you can opt to donate something to the IWK with your purchase. Something to make you feel a little less silly for sinking $65 into something you'll wear once to a party perhaps? As with any specialty holiday shop, I'd get there early for the best selection and be prepared to fight some crowds as October draws to a close.

I know that it is cheaper to buy from suppliers, yet many times I need a small amount and I know where to go, Today, we were served again by a former Dalhousie graduate from the costuming studies department. She was efficient, courteous and very informative. If they don't have what you are looking for, rest assured, they will go to great lengths to find it for you in one of their other stores or in the warehouse. Compared to their competition, which is not an equal by any means, they are far superior in customer service and customer satisfaction. We usually buy entire bolts, rather than small amounts, yet it is not a problem. There is always something to be found that is of interest and there are usually hidden treasures among the bolts. Wish that there was a store in Halifax, although I will happily go to Dartmouth or even Truro to experience excellent customer service and a great selection of products. Once a customer, always a customer. Here, the customer is Queen or king, which is an old philosophy, yet one that still rings true.

I placed an order online, and did not receive an email confirmation for several hours.

They also attached a copy of my online order. I ended up having to chase up my tracking information as I didn't receive a call from the shop as they advised I would. Upon checking my tracking information, I discovered that the parcel was NOT sent by the Xpresspost shipping (which I paid for) as I needed the costume by a certain date. This means that it is not going to arrive until after the event it was purchased for. My parcel was shipped by a method that is approximately 75% cheaper than the option I paid for. The staff have not been helpful in attempting to rectify the problems. I would NOT recommend Ripsters to anybody!

Wow you can spend hours in Michael's just looking at all the arts and crafts that they have…read more Depending on what you are looking for you should be able to find it here. Searching for a gift for my BF daughter I knew what I wanted to get her. Where she likes crafts I went and searches for an outdoor patio stone so that she could make. Many to chose from I like the flower on which came into a pre packages kit ready to go for $29.99. There are isles and isle of stuff half of which I have no idea what to do with it. Picture frames, beads for making jewelry and very nicely laid out. The staff are very helpful and will take the time to explain to you what the product requires. Oh and they as well have Birthday Parties at Michael's which is a fantastic idea.

Michael's is pretty close to my personal hell on earth…read more First off, I don't like crafting. I find it an exercise in frustration and failure. Second, I don't have the patience for confusing big box stores where everything is tremendously difficult to find. Third, I don't like being surrounded by other shoppers who so clearly do not have the same issues as I do as mentioned in points one and two. Simply put, Michael's is not for me and I have no business reviewing its products, service or experience. Still, I will for the sake of prepping non-crafters like myself for what they should expect when dragged here by handy friends, or accidentally coming to in aisle four after some strange Hangover-style bender. What you need to know is that for crafters, everything about Michael's makes sense which is probably why you're so confused and disoriented. It's not SUPPOSED to make sense to mere mortals like you and I. Just go with it, ask for help, and get out rather than try to figure it out on your own and lose three hours of your life. Don't be a hero. You should probably also know that there's always some cray-cray sale going on that again will not make any sense to you. But don't worry, just buy what you went in for and the helpful staff at the cash will find ways to save you money so you don't have to. This should also be a note to not even bother trying to figure out how much money you're about to spend before you go up to the cash. Lastly, they have more things than you will ever need or even begin to understand. Remember above all else, keep your eye on the prize, know what you're looking for, and commit to your plan of craftification before you enter. Otherwise you're going to end up thinking that your bristol board and cut-outs project should actually be a paint, canvas and pottery ordeal from which you will never recover.
