Roons

13. ROONS

If you're the kind of incredible household that gives away full candy bars each Halloween let me say THANK YOU, from my childhood self. Then let me suggest a little change... same price, but baked fresh, packaged individually and adults/kids alike will line up to receive these most incredible treats.

Although, buy more than you think you need! Last year when we took our kids trick-or-treating, we left a big box of 100+ Roons on the porch with a sign that said "please take one". We were shocked to come home and find the entire box empty - especially because our street typically doesn't get that many visitors. My husband decided to review the Ring Doorbell camera footage and *shock*... we saw a dad come up to the porch with his daughter, look into the house windows to make sure nobody was there, and empty the ENTIRE box of Roons into his bag!!!

12. COLORFUL SHOELACES

You could give away orange and black on Halloween theme, or order a variety of amazing colors... but whichever you choose, shoelaces are a super fun way to change up your everyday shoes with a burst of color and it's a treat that will last a long time! Available in bulk packs of single or mixed colors, you can easily get 32 pairs of laces for about $9 on Amazon.

11. BASEBALL CAPS

Whether they are fun ones for the littles, plain ones or customized printed ones... there is nobody who wouldn't want another baseball hat! This item can run the gamut on price... but if you plan ahead you can design some special hats every year that your neighbors won't be able to wait for! There are thousands of online wholesale vendors who sell bulk, inexpensive baseball hats, trucker hats and every kind of cap you could possibly want!

10. FAKE MUSTACHES⁠
⁠
Everyone looks good and silly wearing a fake 'stache! And that makes it all that much more fun when you give them out in bulk so the whole family can get in on the action! We've had more than a few fun photo moments with the leftovers from our Mustachoween a couple years back! I usually buy our fake fuzzy mustaches on Orientaltrading.com⁠ or Partycity.com

9. ACTIVITY BOOKS

Whether you're into word searches, crossword puzzles or mazes, there are so many fantastic really super cheap activity books for kids. These will live long past Halloween night and if you're anything like us, you can keep the extras in the car for road trips and any long shopping outings that happen unexpectedly! We have a store in Portland called that always has bundles of these type of books for really cheap (in addition to other incredible finds!) but you can always buy them online at Amazon.com or OrientalTrading.com or other sites.

8. LIGHT UP RINGS

Kids love things that light up, and that they can wear! Whether you give out the bumpy, flashy light up rings, or ones in the shapes of animals, this is a Halloween treat that won't get tossed at the end of the night! Search amazon for "light up rings" and you'll find a slew of choices in bulk - some even Halloween themed!

7. CANS OF BUBBLE WATER

Hear me out! While cans of bubble water are on the heavier side, they are quite a treat! I don't know about your kids but mine think it's pretty special to get their own can of LaCroix! It's not soda, it's not bad for you and who knows, maybe mom or dad will get to drink it while walking the kids around the hood! You can always find a sale on bubble water at Smart Foodservice, Target, Safeway, Costco, wherever!!

6. GLOW STICKS

Halloween is dark, glow sticks are bright... and they're like a party waiting to happen! Whether you turn them into jewelry, glasses or just wave them around, everyone loves to glow in the dark and being visible while crossing the street is just a bonus! Amazon has 400 pieces for $23.99 - which means the kiddos can all pick a few!

5. FUN ERASERS

As a mom of two girls, I have to tell you that I am likely biased about erasers. They are like currency in our house, and can be used to bribe just about any outcome we need. They are coveted, beloved and even come in handy when you make a mistake! Whether you have the budget to buy the super cute 3D Japanese erasers in the shapes of food or animals, or the standard cute ones of sports, emojis, food shapes, etc... you can't go wrong. Kids LOVE getting erasers and will be eager to pick the one they want. Search "fun erasers" on Amazon and try not to get sucked in!!

4. BOUNCY BALLS⁠
⁠
Halloween means it's the time of year when the sun goes down early and it's hard to play at the park for long after school. Small bouncy balls are always fun at home and keep the kiddos entertained no matter how young or old. Plus, they're easy to buy in bulk online. I've seen 250 bouncy balls as low as $16 online (Amazon) with free shipping.⁠

Who doesn't like a bandana?! Bandanas are colorful, easy to wear in your hair, around your neck, or even use in magic tricks! Everyone from 1-104 can get use out of a bandana. They can be easily found in bulk quantities online (Oriental Trading, Amazon, etc.) or from discount stores, Chinatown, or go crazy and make your own if you're handy! All you need is fabric, scissors and a sewing machine!

2. PRACTICAL JOKES

For many years we gave out a selection of Hand Buzzers, Whoopee Cushions and Fake Dog P**p! The kids thought it was the greatest thing ever, and we all got a good laugh seeing fake dog p**p all over the neighborhood the following days. Buying these toys in bulk is easy online. There is no shortage of novelty stores with tons of fantastic tricks just waiting for their magical debut at your home.
