Did you know that the average American will spend approximately $25 on candy to pass out this October 31st? The cost of candy doesn't include decorations, costumes or even greeting cards individuals will pass out this holiday season. The cost of candy alone that Americans will spend comes to almost $2.6 billion cumulatively nationwide. Don't let this frighten you! Halloween is one of the most celebrated holidays in the US. As more and more children are being diagnosed with food allergies, sometimes it can be hard to know if what you are passing out will be safe for all kids to consume. Instead of passing out candy, try passing out small trinkets! Children of all ages will enjoy:
- Glow Sticks
- Stickers
- Bubbles
- Water
- Slap bracelets
Many of these items can be found for similar pricing too if you order them ahead of time. If you are still wanting to give out that "sweet treat" but don't want to give candy, they are creative ways you can still treat your little tricksters without overloading them. Wendy's sells Frosty Coupon Boo Books. This way, a parent would have to at least take their child to the restaurant to purchase the frosty instead of the child just having a hoard of candy.
