list of non-traditional halloween treat ideas

When I was a kid, my favorite thing to get on Halloween night was a mini Snickers bar. Second to that, any kind of chocolate. I remember spreading out my treat bag all over my bed so I could “organize” my loot. I would usually find a couple of apples and a couple of homemade treats such as Rice Krispy Treats or popcorn balls wrapped up in cling wrap mixed in with the more tooth-decay producing treats. Today, people do not give food that is not individually wrapped from a store shelf, but if you are opposed to giving candy, there are still plenty of options.

non-traditional halloween treats

  • pencils
  • mini Play Doh
  • little plastic spiders or insects
  • mini bubbles
  • bookmarks
  • stickers or tattoos
  • theme bandages
  • “jewels”
  • halloween magnets (you can even make these yourself)
  • fun shoelaces

What are some of your unique ideas for Halloween treats?

    Very great ideas!

    My wife and I have enjoyed giving out the glow bracelets and necklaces. The kids love it and we feel good that they might just be a little more safe running around the streets in the dark. Another fun item is the flashing ear-rings or flashing vampire teeth!
    These ideas will make kids’ dentists happy too.

    Hi! I’m just commenting in response to a comment you made on my blog. I was totally intimidated by making bread until about a year ago. I found this post:

    And I’ve been making our bread ever since. I use the smallest proportions she lists and it’s super yummy! It’s turned out almost every time. When it gets really cold outside I put a little extra yeast in, I found it works better that way for some reason.

    Good luck!

    cute ideas… but I can hardly think about them on account of the fact that I’m still hyper-ventilating over “100 days until Christmas!” WOW! :)

    My kids often come home with those plastic glow in the dark necklaces. They are always a huge hit.

    I have a stockpile of tattoos and individually wrapped Halloween Tastycakes hidden away and ready for the big night.
