Christophe Waggoner spends all year searching for Halloween costumes at thrift shops in Texas so that come October, he can give them away to kids in the Austin area. He launched his October’s Child giveaway in 2017 with 100 items, and this year he gathered more than 2,000 costumes and accessories, washing all of them and repairing those in need. “He gives his heart and soul,” October’s Child volunteer Keri Stern told The Washington Post.
France’s postal service is issuing a special stamp to celebrate one of the country’s national treasures: the croissant. Le Poste issued 600,000 of the scented stamps, which smell like “butter and flaky crust,” said France 24. This isn’t the first time La Poste has immortalized a French bakery item, either — in honor of the 2024 Olympic Summer Games in Paris, it created a stamp that smelled like a baguette.
