With Halloween just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to think about what to give to your special trick-or-treaters this year. This October think beyond the usual candy when deciding what to give out for Halloween and look into more clever and creative Halloween gift ideas.

Deprive the Sweet Tooth

There are many good ideas that you can offer on Halloween instead of candy. Most houses give out candy, so picking something different is certainly a nice change and is definitely much healthier for the kids.

Pencils and Erasers

When it comes to what to give, your options are endless. You can give out decorative pencils with a Halloween design on them. You can usually buy Halloween pencils in bulk and since they’re so inexpensive you can give them to all of the neighborhood kids. For the special kids who come to your door, you can throw in a matching eraser. Kids will love erasing their handwriting mistakes with a little pumpkin, ghost or witch.

Stickers

If pencils aren’t your thing, you may want to consider stickers. Typically, you can purchase an entire roll of stickers for a reasonable price, and you can cut off a few to give to each child that comes on Halloween night. Anything with a pumpkin or bat motif will work well.

Variety is the Spice of Life

If you can’t make up your mind as to which idea you like best, who says you have to choose just one? You can make a huge assorted basket of different items that you find on sale, and each child can pick what they want from the assortment. In fact, doing so may just make your house the favorite trick-or-treat stop this year.

Money Talks

Of course if you’re short on time and you the stores are all out of what you need, you can buy a child’s happiness. Get your rolls of quarters and dimes ready for Halloween night and give money instead of candy.
If you give out something unique this Halloween, chances are all your neighbors will still be talking about your creativity for months to come, and they will certainly appreciate that you opted for something other than the usual sugar-laden treat. After all, the parents will most definitely appreciate your consideration when there’s one less sugar-rush treat in their child’s trick-or-treat bag.
