As the weather cools down and the leaves begin to change colors, all fall lovers have only one thing on their mind: Halloween! Halloween offers us all a time to unwind from reality and focus on a world of fantasy, magic, and candy. If this year has shown us anything, it’s that you don’t need to be a kid to enjoy the fun holidays—us adults have earned the treat of celebrating, too. Whether you’re shopping for unique Halloween goody bag stuffers for coworkers or something to make the holiday extra special for your beloved children, we have some of the cutest Halloween gift ideas to inspire you.

Goody Bag Basics

Even if Halloween must be spent inside, you can still prepare goody bags for your children and coworkers. Goody bags with candy and tiny trinkets can even be mailed to any children in your extended family. To make a successful goody bag, you need to get your creative juices flowing and organize a truly unique collection of surprises. Pick several kinds of candy that anyone can enjoy and add tiny keepsakes, like novelty tealight candles, to each. Add extra Halloween flair with orange ribbons and decorative picks.

If you are looking to gift goody bags to many people at once, keeping the same theme and same items inside is the best option. However, you can make the bags themselves have variation with different designs—like brown paper bags turned into several handmade kinds of jack-o’-lanterns or sacks printed with different images on them. Bigger gift bags that you’ll give in-person can hold any baked goods you may create at home—just be careful not to damage them!

Baked Goods

When your baked goods are always a hit at parties, handing them out as Halloween gifts can please anyone with a sweet tooth. Decorate Halloween sugar cookies with your children to give to family. Use cute Halloween cupcake liners and picks to add spirit to your favorite cupcake recipe. Don’t be afraid to add candies or sprinkles to your baked goods that give them the extra spook they need. Making Halloween gift-giving a household activity adds special meaning to any consumable present, like cookies or cupcakes.

If you do not enjoy baking but know someone who does, give them the best Halloween baking tools that they need for their treats. You can also gift them Halloween baking kits or apples fresh-picked from the orchard for caramel apples! If you feed their hobby, then they are sure to feed you in return.

Spooky Home Accessories

You might be doing just fine when it comes to spook-ifying your home for Halloween, but your friends or family members might be struggling. Gently nudge them to decorate for Halloween using gifts of cute accessories for them to place around their house, like a Halloween crow tealight holder for their entryway or a batty lantern for their porch.

Consider gifting them spooky Halloween-colored fairy lights that will decorate their front door. If they’ve shown interest in Halloween decorations, you might already have an idea of what they want in their home. Get them that plastic skeleton cat that they ogled at in the store—especially if it gets them in the Halloween spirit.

Celebration Souvenirs

Having a friendly Halloween gathering with other adult friends can mean alcoholic beverages and tasty treats for the more mature palate. Even if you are not able to gather in person this year, gift your friends seasonal Halloween party gear, like serving plates or these spooky skull shot glasses. You and your friends having the same party supplies and sharing your experiences over a webcam can add to the immersion of an online party. Don’t forget to share your recipes and drink list as well!

Costume Pieces

Kids who love dressing up want nothing more than to become whoever they want for Halloween. Surprise your child with an extravagantly essential piece of their costume that will make this Halloween extra special. Splurge on a lovely new tiara for your favorite princess or a realistic superhero prop that you can’t get at a retail store. For older children who insist on “doing it themselves,” purchase them a scary Halloween makeup kit that will complete their look.

For friends who are difficult to buy gifts for or refuse to accept gifts, buying Halloween presents—like costume pieces—for their kids can make your friend just as happy.

DIY Halloween Crafts

When you can’t find the perfect gift to buy, make one! Put your crafting skills to good use with some of the cutest projects that will please any child, family member, or coworker. Make your kids their very own trick-or-treat bags or buckets that they will want to show all their friends. Personalize the bags with their favorite part of Halloween or even try to match their costume—some costumes will be easier to match than others, though. You can even start your little ghoul out with some bonus candy or mini gifts at the bottom of your finished product!

Adults in your family or workplace may appreciate function over form, so make them a DIY Halloween candy bowl that will catch the eye of any trick-or-treater who rings their doorbell. It might be a lengthy task to craft candy bowls for all your coworkers or family members, so make sure to give yourself enough time to lovingly create each one.

A fall wreath is another excellent Halloween craft that is beginner-friendly and cost-efficient. With the right foliage and accents, they can provide beauty to all your neighbors’ doors.

Pumpkins

The most iconic Halloween decoration is the classic jack-o’-lantern with its gaping, toothy grin and the gentle glow from the candle within providing dim light to your porch. Create a jack-o’-lantern to remember with your kids! Get silly with it or make something gruesome—it is all up to you.

Gifting regular-sized pumpkins can be tricky and expensive, but mini-pumpkins are great gourd accessories that add a bit of fall spice to any room. For some extra glamour, paint the mini pumpkins to personalize them for each recipient.

Real pumpkins will rot eventually, so if you’re considering a pumpkin project, think about using faux mini pumpkins that are normally used for crafting. Mini pumpkins can also provide a cute fall accent to your goody bags or fall wreaths.

Halloween is a wonderful time full of both laughs and scares for people of all ages. While most of the fun comes from tricks and treats, there is plenty of additional fun to be had with friends and family. Even if Halloween plans fall through, sending your loved ones a gift from this list of the cutest Halloween gift ideas to show that you’re thinking about them will make them smile. Little Obsessed’s selection of cute Halloween toys and trinkets will make you the talk of every party host.
