Now that I'm a card-carrying old as gently caress the idea of someone giving those out is more terrifying than all the razor blade apples in the world. Had someone nearby give their kids them this fourth of july and the stockpile lasted for weeks. Some of us gotta work in the morning, and get off my lawn.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:I checked my local game store and those packs only come in sets of 50 and their store only ordered 6 sets, which will be available from tomorrow and can't be pre-ordered. Hopefully I manage to snag a set otherwise I'll have to run all around the city trying to find some. Achievement unlocked   I turned up to the store and there were different clerks there today, I told them I was there to buy the trick-or-treat multipack and they said "Oh yeah we have that but it's pre-order only."  ...... but it turned out that out of the 6 packs they'd ordered they'd only had 3 pre-orders so they sold me one anyway

Hand out these. They will dye your piss deep pumpkin orange all day. Note they will not make it taste or smell like pumpkin spice.

We've handed out wrist-band glow sticks the past couple of years, and it's always been a big hit with the little kids, teens, and parents. Last year I saw some kids come to the door already wearing glow-sticks though, so I feel like I need to find something else this year. We give out candy too, so I don't think I've ever seen anyone leave disappointed.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:A guy I know offers spooky kids books for trick-or-treaters at Halloween, he calls it All Hallows Read. He builds up a big collection of dozens and dozens of books during the year (and has a whole lot of people who grab books for him when they spot any going cheap) and apparently it's always a big hit with the neighbourhood kids. A lot of the local kids have been getting books from him for the past several years and look forwards to it. This is awesome. After I moved out my dad gave my old series books like Goosebumps and the Babysitter's Club away to trick or treaters one year. My standard giveaway is juice boxes (safe for babies, I also mix in green tea and milk tea boxes). I also recommend glow sticks (high five), slap bracelets, plain notebooks, pencils and erasers, silly glasses, rub-on tattoos, little bottles of bubble liquid, mandarin oranges (with jack-o-lantern faces drawn on the peels), and non-sweet snacks like rice crackers and nuts. We're in Japan so I have also given away packets of furikake and the kids were happy. We don't have those Pokemon card packs here yet, because trick or treat isn't normalized, but they are a fantastic idea. peanut fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Oct 23, 2023 |

I do an homage to bobbing for apples by letting trick-or-treaters suck as many pomegranate seeds as they can out of a bowl of water in ten seconds

We've done stickers, little squishy balls, and those poppit fidget toys. Kids went absolutely apeshit for the last one.

We did our group trick or treat last night and candy was always popular, and the glow sticks were more popular than the juice boxes. I also had some party crackers (passed out at a different candy station) and there were zero leftovers so I think they were popular too. My mother in law also handed out (raw) sweet potatoes and the kids were excited lol

Oz Halloween is over, the Pokemon cards and jack-o--mandarins were super popular with the kids. If it seemed like a kid was particularly into Pokemon I'd let them take several packs and they'd get TOTALLY STOKED

We went out with a group of kids, and then when it was over I pulled a bunch of Pokemon boosters out of my pocket to hand out as a final treat, and all the kids went NUTS.
