Birthday treat for the class

In my DC’s school the kids take a treat for everyone in their class on their birthday. It’s usually Maom sweets or Haribo. As my DCs birthday is so close to Halloween I think everyone (mainly parents!) will be sick of sweets. Any other suggestions of what I can get? Needs to be nut free and ideally individually wrapped (or I might be overthinking that…) 25 kids- I don’t want spend a fortune! Thanks

Glo sticks?

Honestly stick to the sweets! Kids love it, makes the teachers lives so much easier! Amazon do party packs of things but it’s easier and cheaper to just buy a couple packs of mini rolls and call it a day.

I think you're overthinking it, I've never yet met a child who got fed up of sweets and parents can just add it to the stash. I would personally just get sweets.

Glo sticks are good for the five minutes and then just create rubbish, sorry.

I would stick to sweets, cheaper and not every child goes trick and treating.

Yes where as sweets also last 5 mins and cause obesity and cavities🙄

This was banned last year in my kids school. Huge relief for everyone!

Oh brilliant- mini rolls might hit the sweet spot, actually! Thank you
