i like glow stuff or balls, etc. from Oriental Trading

it's not any more expensive than candy & there are some
pretty cute things in there (and huge amounts of crap).
we don't have a lot of kids in the neighborhood (that
being
within a mile radius, or walking distance), but we are
getting more & more jr.high/high school age kids since i
go crazy 'haunting' the house & yard... i don't mind since
they do make/wear costumes & they're polite & fun to talk
to... and they *really* like the glow stuff.

Thanks for the ideas! I like the glow stick idea - I know
I loved those as a kid.
My main motivation is selfishness - I don't want the candy
crap in the house.

Tom eats excess candy here. Boo doesn't really like candy & i
rarely eat any (the odd one serving pack of peanut M&Ms every
few months).
i was cleaning up & found some of Boo's Valentine candy (from
school) from 2 years ago... ick. he tends to like the idea of
candy. he *asks* for candy, but he never eats a whole piece if
i give him some.
