Look at the Oriental Trading website for all kinds of non-candy novelties.
For the last several years we've given out glow
bracelets or necklaces. The kids like them, they help
keep the kids visible in the dark, and they wear out soon
so they don't stick around in the house as useless clutter.
Plus, our kids enjoy playing with the leftovers and we don't
add to our candy overload if it's a slow night for trick-or-
treaters.


That's a *great* idea. Where does one get lotsa cheap glow bracelets?

I'm sure there are other sources, but I get them from

http://www.berniesglowsticks.com/

You can get 100 8" bracelets for as low as under $6--
cheaper than candy ;-) No affiliation, etc., but we've
had good experiences with the company.

Best wishes,

Ooh - I love the glow stick idea! I've always just done candy, but I
may do glow sticks this year...especially since our new neighborhood
doesn't have sidewalks. (And I'm really, really hoping we'll have
moved in by then!)
