Many people are foregoing the traditional trick or treating, house to house routine and instead celebrating Halloween by planning parties and gatherings for their kids, friends, and families. And you can’t have a party without gifts! Check out these creative gift ideas and shop online to find all kinds of goodies, toys, and sweet treats for Halloween.
Pick up a Caramel Apple Kit for your kids. This is basically an all-inclusive set with everything you need to make one caramel apple. It’s simply a decorated paint can with an apple, one serving of caramel dip, and a little bag of chopped pecans, or other candy, inside. It’s a wonderful Halloween gift and really easy to make.
Make haunted Halloween Breakfast foods for the party. Party-goers will love this recipe for jack-o-lantern pancakes. A squeeze bottle of pancake batter that’s been dyed with food coloring is all you’ll need.
A great gift, or maybe a prize for a Halloween game, is the Flying Bat. Powered by two AA batteries, this bat will flap all around your party.
Your kid’s teacher will love a Resin Pumpkin Halloween Train from Terry’s Village. It’s the perfect Halloween accent for a mantle, entry table, or buffet.
Scary Shadow Boxes could be a great party favor for the parents attending your Halloween festivities. Even better, you can get the kids at the party to make this fun craft to give to their parents. Just make sure you have all the supplies on hand.
