Start with an Eco-Friendly Base
Begin by sourcing inexpensive cotton tote bags. These not only make fantastic goodie bags but are also eco-friendly, ensuring your Halloween celebration leaves a positive mark on the environment.
Here's what we'll be including in ours:
-
Recyclable Candy Treats: Fill your tote bags with everyone's favorite candies in recyclable packaging. Think Smarties, Nerds, Pixie Stix, and other classics.
-
Festive Sparkling Refreshment: No party is complete without refreshments. Add a can of flavored sparkling water, and for a spooktacular touch, don't forget to include a festive paper straw.
-
Unleash Your Creativity: Encourage your young artists with a small jar of black paint and a paintbrush. This can be used to decorate both the tote bag and a small pumpkin, making for a memorable arts and crafts session.
-
Mini Jack-o'-Lantern: Include a small pumpkin, all dressed up for the occasion, for some Halloween pumpkin-carving fun. This will add a touch of authenticity to your celebration.
-
Reusable Stencil: Enhance the DIY experience with a fun stencil for the tote bag. The best part? It's reusable, so you can enjoy it again and again.
-
School-Friendly Surprises: Incorporate Halloween pencils or erasers, perfect for school or home activities. It's an excellent way to make learning and creativity part of the fun.

Spooky Decor: Elevate your pumpkin decorating game with Paper Eyeball Stickers. These add a creepy yet fun touch to your pumpkin designs and help everything look a little more Halloween-y.
