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.

  • 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?

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