Let me guess: those Halloween parties are now only days away, and you and your significant other, bestie, or ride-or-die have waited until the last minute to get a costume.

Plenty of retailers, like Spirit Halloween and Amazon, have hilarious, noteworthy costumes with fast shipping options to get to your door before the holiday.

Here are some last-minute, low-effort, high-reward costumes that you can wear to the next shindig:

Halloween costumes: Couples costumes to match your beau or bestie this Halloween, from Marvel to total trash

Soap and loofah

The cleanest couple just entered the building!

Spirit Halloween sells a one-size-fits-most soap and loofah costume starting at $59.99. The package includes balloons to create fake bath bubbles.

You obviously can’t pull this off with a rubber duck. Get one at Amazon for $11.99.

Barbie and Ken

Let’s face it: the hype from last summer’s box office smash “Barbie,” starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, is still alive and well.

Amazon has Barbie and Ken’s neon workout costumes that won’t break the bank. The woman’s package includes a pair of leggings, a leotard, wristbands, a visor, and a fanny pack for $32.89.

At the time of publication, the men’s version is on sale for $25.99. The costume includes a vest, tank top, shorts, kneepads, visor and wristbands.

If you want to go the extra mile, add a pair of rollerblades. The retailer has options for under $50.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce − the couple that continuously made headlines throughout 2024.

Taylor’s look: Purchase a red and white mini dress from Amazon for $33.99. A pair of black rectangle sunglasses ($.6.99) and a red lip will seal the deal.

Travis’ look: Wear a Kansas City Chiefs jersey or even this $15.95 t-shirt that says “Taylor’s boyfriend” will help tie the costume together. Get a fake mustache to really commit.

Roach and Exterminator

A great couple costume guaranteed to get a laugh or two is roach and exterminator (To avoid debate, play rock, paper, scissors to help decide each person’s role).

Amazon has a brown cockroach costume available for $39. For the exterminator’s outfit, you can get creative. Coveralls ($41) or a hazmat suit ($16.99) can help achieve the look.

Add a “Pest Control” cap or a face mask for a little extra razzle-dazzle.

Can you rock it better than “former Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Nene Leakes and her late husband, Gregg?

Neon pink and blue crayons

This is a Halloween classic and Target has an “accessory set” that includes pink and blue crayon-tip hats along with label stickers that read “pink” and “blue”.

You’ll want to supply your own neon pink and blue clothing to complete this costume.

But the accessory set is available for $10.
