Halloween isn’t traditionally a holiday that you give out gifts (unless you head off trick or treating), but that doesn’t mean you can’t.

There is no written rule that says you can’t hand out Halloween gifts right?

Besides, kids love giving things to their besties and teachers at school. Sometimes it’s nice to have something a little different to give and if you can theme the gift to a holiday it just makes it even more fun.

Here are 12 Halloween gifts that I know you are going to love. The kiddies can help make them, which is a great opportunity to have some one on one time with them.

How To Make Halloween Gifts

Making a selection of Halloween gifts is really super easy. Each of these gift ideas has an easy tutorial to follow. Simply follow the link for each idea to read the tutorial instructions.

Before you know it, you will have a whole array of Halloween gifts that you can hand out to friends, family, teachers and school peers.

So so so much better than Halloween candy. 

Well, ok maybe it’s not better than Halloween candy, but it’s just as good right?

What’s the first thing you think of when you consider Halloween gifts? 

Candy. Of course it’s candy!

So what better way to give a candy bar than to wrap them up in spook-tacular Halloween candy bar wrappers. 

With an instant download, this is a quick and easy way to have those Halloween gifts ready to rock and roll in a jiffy.

Oh, and did I mention that these wrappers are completely free for you to download?

Pop in one of these Halloween lunch box notes and it will certainly do the trick.

There are four designs to choose from, so you could pop one in the box every day leading up to Halloween for a bit of added fun.

4. You’ve Been Booed Game

Do you like the idea of playing a bit of a game with your neighbors? This game of “You’ve been booed” is perfect for you.

The idea is that you create a basket of goodies and leave it on your neighbors doorstep. 

Use the free printable which explains that they have been “booed”. Your neighbors can then repeat the game to someone else.

This is definitely a great alternative way of handing out some Halloween gifts, and making it super fun in the process.

How much fun are these mini Halloween bookmarks. They are another great alternative to hand out to trick or treater’s instead of candy.

Alternatively, if you are having a Halloween get together, why not have a crafting table and have the kids make these. They would love taking their creations home at the end of the day.

How awesome are kids hand and feet prints. 

Kids grow so quickly, that these crafts are an amazing way to keep a reminder of how little they once were.

So, if you are looking for something non-candy this year, Halloween gifts in the form of the kids hand prints could be just the thing for you!

I love these monster pencils. If you are having a Halloween party, these would be awesome to give out as party favors.

Alternatively they would make great Halloween gifts for the kids to hand out at school or to give to trick or treater’s.
