Maybe even write them up a ticket for causing a crime.

5. Whoopie Cushion Costume
Keep the laughs coming with a classic whoopie cushion costume. Wear this giant whoopie cushion made out of foam fabric, complete with the signature “PFFFT!” sound. Wear it around your waist and strategically “sit” on unsuspecting victims for instant giggles.

8. Baby Costumes Go to Work In
Turn heads at the office by showing up in an adorable baby costume. Dress in oversized diapers, a onesie, and a pacifier, and carry around a giant bottle or stuffed animal. It’s a hilarious way to lighten the mood and bring some childlike joy to the workplace.
9. Food Costumes:
Become a walking snack with a food-themed costume like a banana, lemon, or watermelon. Craft a colorful fruit costume out of cardboard or fabric, and add fun details like seeds or peel textures. Just be prepared for friends to get hungry around you! Perhaps you should hand out snacks in appropriate fruit themes.
