Guys! Are you aware that Halloween is practically here? We have faith that you've been working on your costume for a couple weeks by now, but what about your beloved pet's costume? If you are crunched for time, we have the perfect solution: a Beanie Baby tag.

As a kid of the 2000s, I am no stranger to the Beanie Baby. Shout out to all of you who tried to collect every single one which was only possible because your parents thought it would turn into a collectors' item (still waiting...)

Also, let's not forget when McDonald's sold mini Beanie Babies in their Happy Meals. Hey, McDonald's -- can we get all day breakfast and Beanie Baby toys? Kthanksbai!
