Boo! 👻
Halloween is creeping up fast, and at Press Market, we’re all about finding treats that are just as delightful as candy—but without the sugar overload for our little ghosts and goblins. Whether you’re hosting a spooky bash or handing out goodies to neighborhood goblins, here are five fun non-candy alternatives that will bring smiles (and maybe a little shock!) this Halloween season! 🦇
1. Glow Sticks and Glow Bracelets ✨
Light up the night with glow sticks or glow bracelets! Hand these out and turn the streets into a glowing parade of pumpkins and ghosts. Plus, they double as safety gear, helping kids stay visible during their spooky adventures.
👽 Bonus: Your house will look like the entrance to a haunted rave.
2. Croc Jibbitz™ 🐊
What’s cooler than candy? Jibbitz™ charms for their Crocs! Give kids a little flair with Halloween-themed charms like pumpkins, ghosts, or eyeballs. These tiny treasures are fun, collectible, and guaranteed to outlast their candy haul. And hey, even parents might try to snag one! And from we've been told.. they're big trade items in the school yard.
🦇 The only downside? They’ll now expect to decorate all their shoes.
3. Mini Bottles of Bubbles 🫧
Who needs chocolate bars when you can blow endless bubbles into the night sky? Not only do bubbles bring instant joy, but they also give parents a break while the kids are busy chasing them. It’s the gift that says, “Go play outside!” without saying, “You’ve had enough sugar.”
4. Stickers with a Spooky Twist 👻
Sticker sheets with Halloween themes (think mummies, haunted houses, and black cats) are always a hit. Kids can decorate their notebooks, water bottles, or even their costumes! And let’s be real—stickers never go out of style.
🎉 Bonus: Watch the little ones immediately start sticking them everywhere.
5. Packets of Hot Chocolate Mix ☕
Treat them to something warm and comforting with individually wrapped hot chocolate mix. It’s the ultimate “treat yourself” after a long night of candy hunting. Even vampires love curling up with a cup of cocoa (just add marshmallows shaped like ghosts).
🎃 Pro tip: Keep some for yourself, because dealing with Halloween hype requires caffeine or cocoa.
Bonus Tip!
Set up a “trade-in” station at home where kids can swap out some of their candy haul for non-candy goodies like the ones listed above. This way, they get the thrill of trick-or-treating with an extra surprise!
👻 Happy Halloween from all of us at Press Market! 🦇
