Halloween box

[christmasunicorn]

Totally off topic but I thought this is where I would find the most like minded people.
So I am thinking of doing a Halloween box this year. Bit like an xmas Eve box but Halloween themed (obviously). Was thinking of including some decorations, a piñata, sweets for trick or treaters, a "scary" movie (jumanji/goosebumps kinda thing) and costumes/t shirts. I'm trying to avoid trick or treating this year but keeping it fun for the dc.
Has anyone got any other suggestions about what I could include? Does anyone else do a Halloween box? Shall I start a new trend?

Sounds like fun! I love any excuse to celebrate If you decorate your house for Halloween you could include a new decoration in the box every year. Lidl/Aldi often do cheap as chips but not 'cheap looking' felt decorations, and I've had loads of really nice quality Halloween decorations massively reduced in November e.g. terracotta pumpkins. If your DC are into crafts you could include a Halloween craft kit or some orange & black tissue paper, bags of googly eyes, black pipe cleaners etc.

We decorate for Autumn then add Halloween decorations but because I never want to track round trick or treating, we always all dress up and stay at home to answer to the other trick or treaters!

Other than that we don't have a box but do the pumpkin carving a few days before, but don't really do specific Halloween stuff.

I love that idea!
We sort of have a Halloween box, or at least we have a box of Halloween stuff in the attic that gets pulled out every year, to huge excitement.
We always have a grisly dinner so there are things like the special table cloth, spider web bowls, gothic candle sticks, a skull, plastic spiders and small rats, wine bottle stickers.... all picked up in Poundland and similar over the years. Dinner is usually something very normal with gross names (spaghetti becomes worms or intestines, tomato sauce is blood, etc) and the kids write out a grisly menu.
We decorate for Halloween (starting the two weeks before) so all that stuff is in there too but I'm sure it's not worth decorating if it's just for one night.
And for trick or treaters we have a talking bowl thing that you have to reach in and take a treat from.

I do a little Halloween bag for my ds I normally put in a Halloween book or craft kit, some sweets, stickers etc nothing to expensive but keeps him occupied for a bit.

Sorry but it sounds a bit American for me however I have noticed that TK Maxx do some really nice Halloween bits, decorations & costumes etc. Much nicer looking than most places.

Love this idea! I'd add a Halloween themed lush bath bomb and I also saw some minions Halloween crayons and stickers very cheap in home bargains earlier
