Looking For Trick or Treat Gift Ideas That Won't Rot Teeth or Bore Neighbors?
Unique Trick or Treat Gift Ideas
So you're looking for a few unique trick or treat gift ideas? You've come to the right place. This year I've decided not to rot the teeth of my neighborhood children and not to bore them with pennies and nickels. I've come up with a few great trick or treat gift ideas that is sure to make my house, and yours, the talk of the town.
Trinkets from Oriental Trading
Oriental Trading Company is the place to go for little trinkets and do-dads. My child's teacher uses their merchandise for her "surprise box" at school, so I figured I'd check out what they had to offer. I think there's more than a few great trick or treat gift ideas here, like finger puppets and bouncy balls.
Halloween Pictures
This is one of the more complicated trick or treat ideas. It requires some patience and a bit of an outgoing personality. You'll need a digital camera and photo printer and someone willing to dress up as Frankenstein. Then, as each child comes to the door have them and their friends take a photo with Frankenstein, put it in a cardboard frame (like the ones they use at malls) and give them a souvenir of this year's Halloween adventure!
Of course, you'll want mom or dad's permission before snapping the shot, but I've heard that many people really like this idea and take well to it. You can get the cardboard photo frames at sites like Pfile.com.
Birthday Party Favors
You know those birthday party favors you find at the local card store? They make great Halloween gift ideas too. Playing cards, goofy glasses, race cars and more can all be bought in bulk packages and handed out as trick or treat gifts.
