Purim 5786 is T-minus three days away. If you’re a Type A kind of person, you likely have your costume squared away: the outfit is ready to wear, the accessories are laid out and the make-up look has been perfected.
But not all of us in the Jewish community can be so put together. Some of us are a little more chaotic. That is to say, some of us might have completely forgotten Purim was coming up until just now, and we have nothing to wear.
If you’re in that boat, welcome. We have some topical Purim costume ideas and items just for you! Where possible, items are from Amazon so you can choose rushed delivery options. (We’re aware Amazon is not the most ethical supplier. Sorry! We’re not perfect.)
And yes, the costume ideas get increasingly more chaotic as we go along. Happy shopping and happy (almost) Purim!

Gold Plated Chain (Amazon)
Note: Ilya typically wears an Eastern Orthodox cross necklace. But following the principle that religion is not a costume, this plain gold chain is a great substitute.
