Costume Accessories

I absolutely love wearing my soft, fleece parade gloves. My favorite because they look even better than my cotton Santa Gloves, they have the signature formal pleats on the knuckles, and they keep my hands warm outdoors for hours! There's a variety with grips on the palms, and even a lovely tan for you "woodsy" Santas!

Hilltop Leather Company is a genuine small business with a storefront in Mooresville, Indiana. Thanks to their Amazon Storefront, we can all easily access their most popular designs at a very reasonable price, and with quick shipping! These leather goods are top of the line, believe me.

These pouches are roomy but not too big. They draw closed and expand when you need to hold more. Well-made from real leather or suede. The black one clips on (using the clips I've listed further down) as opposed to sliding onto your belt so you don't have to worry whether it will fit your belt. The Red one has a belt loop on the back for a 3-inch belt. Use them to hold your Candy Canes, Giveaway Keys, or Giveaway Sleigh Bells!

I wear this key because it's hefty and sturdy, inexpensive (I've been known to give it away), and it's fully-molded on both sides. Now, if you also have the giveaway keys , you get to choose which version of the magic you share with the kids. Santa either has one magic key on his belt he uses to enter any home on earth, or Santa gives you a special key to leave out for him on Christmas Eve. I've certainly used both versions over the years, depending on the situation.

When it comes to bells, I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. These are beautiful high quality bells sold by an amish maker via Amazon. I chose the two bell option and it gives me a lovely, rich twinkling sound when I walk. Since it clips to my belt (clips listed below) I can quickly detach the bells for singalongs.

• This gold belt clip is probably the most versatile way to clip things to your belt. i love that I can keep it attached and unclip the key or bells hanging from it, or simply pull up and remove the hook as well. The brushed gold tone complements any suit.
• The leather strap is a great way to securely hang accessories down from the belt. Luckily, they've designed it to fit any belt up to 4 inches wide.

What can I say? These thick, comfortable suspenders with the most heavy-duty silver clips are just the ultimate. In 30 years as Santa, I've thrown out dozens of suspenders. These are the best I've ever had. They come in many other colors, too! Perfect to wear under the suit, but more than attractive enough to complete your Workshop looks.

The 2nd option shown above is also extremely good, and used by many santas who prefer suspender buttons.
