Halloween Shopping Tips: Save Big on Costumes, Treats, and Decor

Halloween Spending and Savings

• 🎃 American shoppers are expected to spend over $114 per person this Halloween, with a total projected spend of $13 billion.
• 💡 The segment focuses on products that can be used throughout the season, not just for one day, to maximize value.

Cozy and Practical Apparel

• 🧥 The Puffer Hug is introduced as a versatile garment that's more than a sweater but less than a coat, ideal for trick-or-treating.
• ❄️ It features buttons and pockets, comes in kids' sizes, and allows children to wear costumes underneath without being covered by bulky coats, while keeping hands warm.

Themed Drinkware and Host Gifts

• ☕ Simple Modern offers a harvest line of tumblers and mugs, including themed options for kids like a Bluey Halloween design.
• 🎁 For host gifts or parties, Bissingers chocolates are recommended, featuring beautiful designs like skulls and fall flavors such as blood orange and caramel.

Creative Treat Alternatives and Games

• 🍪 Instead of traditional candy bars, Chip Ahoy's Stranger Things two-packs are suggested as an alternative treat to give out.
• 🍬 The concept of the "Switch Witch" is explained, where kids can trade excess candy for games or toys.
• 🧩 Recommended games include a collaborative glow-in-the-dark ghost game from Oriental Trading Company and the Beetlejuice Little People Collection.
• 🎃 Crayola's light-up decorations are presented as a reusable alternative to traditional jack-o'-lanterns, allowing for coloring and wiping clean.
