Halloween Treat Bags

My daughter and I worked on putting together treat bags for the trick-or-treaters. If you know me, then you know I love giving out goodie bags.  Here’s what’s inside this year.

I absolutely adore these drawstring bags from Oriental Trading.  Halloween for me is more cute than scary.  That probably says more about my life than I would care to admit. 🙂

Also from Oriental Trading, I found Peanuts paper airplanes that come in a compact little package and are super easy to put together.  Even the big kids like paper airplanes, and by big I mean my adult male friends. (These were so popular, I think they sold out. I couldn’t find the link for this one but there are a lot more Halloween Peanuts items for sale!)

Instead of glow in the dark light sticks, I chose glow in the dark Halloween stickers.

And we didn’t forget the chocolate!  I know some people choose to do the opposite but we always pick the candy we like to eat since we know there will be leftovers.

If you love to hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters, you should try putting bags together.  The kids go bonkers over them and all it takes is a trip to the dollar store or even just putting your handful of candy in a goodie bag!

Halloween Treat Bags

I have never been a big fan of Halloween. I don’t care to dress up and I really do detest haunted houses. Since having a home and a child though, it has become one of my favorites, mostly because of trick or treating!

We don’t get many trick or treaters coming to the house. I wish we had more, but on a positive note, it allows me to go all out on the treat bags without breaking the bank. Here is what the lucky neighborhood kids are getting this year with most of these items coming from the dollar bin!


  
 The highlight of the bags (at least for me!) are the glow sticks (also from the dollar bin!) that are fun and keep the kids safe in the dark.

It is kind of amazing how much more excited the trick or treaters are when they see the goodie bags.  It makes all the effort worth it!
