We take the empty toilet paper cardboard and wrap it with tissue paper. We stuff them with candy and wrap each end (like a tootsie roll) with curling ribbon.

Definitely a creative idea, along with all the others. However, they are loaded with not only high levels of sugar, but worse than a lollipop in that they are usually loaded with partially hydrogenated oils which are so incredibly horrible for us all.

Be careful giving away Baloons. There are now 50,000 people that are allergic to Latex. If my child were to get one of these in her bag she would die before we could get home. I know that in todays allergies it makes life hard on everone. I am sorry for that this is just a heads up. My child loves Halloween it is the only time she gets in our neighborhood. I just try to keep her safe. Hi I liked all the other items to give out except one.

We let our daughter pick 5 regular size (ie, snack size snickers) pieces and 5 small pieces (tootsie rolls, hard candy, etc.) then we buy the rest from her. We take her to the store and she gets to pick out something she wants. Just set a price limit that is reasonable to you. We usually do $30. It's worth it to us! Then the candy gets taken to my husbands office or the shelter...Happy trick or treating!!! Trick or treating is so much fun, but the sugar rush and calorie intake is a little too much!

The company charged my account $277.00 and continued to charge my account even after I cancelled due to not receiving the sample I paid shipping for. When I tried to resolve the problem they refuse to credit the money back to my account, and tell me several bottles of the product were sent that I still have never recieved yet they charged me for. Their actions have resulted in me having to cancel my credit card. I would advise you that if a company is going to act in this manner with your popularity, you should seriously reconsider backing this product. Thank You, Edith Riehl Dear Rachael,

On November 6 they put their candy out and the "Great Pumpkin" came and took whatever candy was left and left behind some sort of toy. (Usually a $5 stuffed animal or something along that line.) The "Great Pumpkin" (ie, Dad) brought the candy into work and all of us co-workers got to eat it up.

We get alot of children so this is also a very inexpensive treat. One more item to add to this list of non-candy that I give away at Halloween is unfrozen ice pops.
