the bear accessories

My Halloween costume is this awesome bear hood, which I would like to make more awesome with a little customization. Suggestions welcome.
Ideally, I'd make his eyes glow, but I'm not sure where to start with that. So what are other fun ways I could give Mr. Bear more personality? Please note that whatever I do must be able to survive a four hour flight in my carry-on luggage, so it can't be too fragile or bulky.
Other than that: this is freeform, go nuts.

Maybe carry a toy/inflatable kayak?

Large pink sparkly bow behind one ear, many sets of false lashes around the eyes (they come in lots of unnatural colors to make them stand out from the fur).
The tail end of a fake salmon attached to the teeth - might be able to find a chew toy that would work for this, or paper mache if you have the time/skill.
Wear pajamas and carry a cuddly cloth baby doll, put twigs and leaves in various spots on yourself and make an old fashioned nightcap (big triangle of flannel with the long edges sewn together to form a cone, trim the headband to fit and bind with hem tape) and claim to be getting ready to hibernate and that all bears sleep with a dolly the same way humans sleep with a teddy, which you have always found bizarre, by the way.
A conspicuously horrible blond toupee poorly attached to the bear head, a few severed bloody fingers coming out of the mouth, a wide stripe tie with a lot of red with raggedy bloodstains around your shoulders, a big Bernie Sanders button.

Bear in a suit.
Bear in hot pants.
These are your best two options.
