The costume is pretty simple and easy to put together. However, if you do not already own a red hoodie, you can pretty much buy one anywhere. You can check out Walmart, Forever 21, Target and even Amazon. As well as an alien, if you do not own an alien stuffed animal, you can substitute it with a small pet such as a puppy or kitten or even any stuffed animal. Anyone should understand your costume as long as you have something wrapped in a white blanket sitting in the basket of your bike.
