Alternative Halloween Hand Outs

For those of you who celebrate Halloween, what will you be handing out this year? When you were a kid, did it annoy you when people gave out something other than candy on Halloween?

Do you go to the store and buy a few bags of your favorite candies, stick them in a huge salad bowl and then secretly hope you don’t get too many tick-or-treaters? If so, does that make you feel guilty?

Why is it that some of us feel guilty about having a huge bowl of candy in the house—knowing we’re going to eat all of it ourselves—and yet we’re fine with handing out tons of sugary crap to all the kids in our neighborhood?

I have vivid memories of trick-or-treating and when people broke from convention they always seemed to give out something “heavy handed” like a toothbrush. No fun!

There are many things that you can hand out on Halloween besides candy and sweets. Here are a few ideas, please add your own. Perhaps we can start a new paradigm.

• Juice Boxes - with real fruit juice.
• Cool Erasers
• Mini Pretzel Bags
• Goldfish - real, live ones in bags of water (memories for a lifetime!)
• Bat or Spider Rings
• Glow-in-the-Dark Fangs!
• iTunes (okay, that’s expensive - are you listening Apple?)
• Rubber balls
• Something you made yourself
• Crazy glue — just kidding!

What else can we hand out that’s fun but not part of the sugar machine?
