Halloween is on the horizon, with the annual fright-fest taking place this year on Saturday October 31.

If your house is playing host to a Halloween party full of little ghosts and mini Draculas, we've put together a list of goodie bag ideas for the kids to take home after the spooky event!

  1. Halloween stickers and crayons are always favourites for kids to take away and it is something they can use at home.
  2. Temporary tattoos are great fun for parties.
  3. Spooky confetti is a cute little addition.
  4. Apparently rubber ducks are the new thing! Why not decorate some and make them look spooky in keeping with the theme?
  5. Personalise gift bags for pick and mix or sweets with named labels or tags saying "Thank you for coming to [name's] party".
  6. You are never too old (or young) for glowsticks.
  7. Party favours – little spiders, eyeballs, skeletons
  8. Halloween putty or play dough will keep the keen little designers happy.
  9. Who doesn't want bubbles? Any time of the year!
