I considered it a personal victory that I could hand out all kinds of candy this Halloween and not have a single piece. If you really feel bad about giving out candy, you could buy a bunch of Halloween themed junky stuff - pencils, parachute guys, creepy fingers, skeletons, stickers, tattoos, etc. Oriental Trading has a ton of that kind of stuff and a lot of it is very cheap, e.g. 48 fang whistles for $5.48. We use it in the treat bags for our Cub Scout Halloween party. I spent $38.90 (had a code for free shipping) and filled 48 bags, but we did also put in 3 pieces of candy and Halloween pencils from BJ's in each one.

edited to add: One big downside about Oriental Trading is the cheapest shipping is very, very slow so give yourself at least two full weeks for stuff to arrive. Party stores seem to have similar type stuff, although their selection doesn't seem as extensive and most items are sold in sixes or tens rather than in bulk.

oh I was not tempted to eat any candy & I handled a lot of it! So I guess that was a personal victory!

Oriental Trading Co is great...I totally forgot about them! Thank you!
