I saw these and knew they’d be perfect to hand out to the students that I tutor and teach as you can personalize them with the name of your choice. This would be perfect to hand out to friends, co-workers, or for kids to hand out to their classmates at school or to their good friends. I love the look and the colors in this, and it is the perfect size to put in some yummy holiday treats!

5) Trick Or Treat Have Some Sweets Personalized Candy Bowl

Halloween wouldn’t be complete without the perfect bowl to put your Trick-Or-Treat sweets in! The bowl is VERY heavy, but it is very large as it will hold 5 quarts of your favorite treats! I love the saying on the bowl, “Trick or Treat, have some Sweets!” and the fun Halloween colors make it very festive. It is the perfect bowl to keep my candy in for all the trick or treaters that come by.

I think we are all set for Halloween now! What are your “Must Haves” for the Halloween season?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🙂
