These days, Halloween gifts don’t have to stop at trick or treat bags. There’s a year-round craze for Things That Go Bump In The Night (think Doctor Who, GHI and Twilight), and Halloween has become as big an event as it is in America, with literally hundreds of Halloween gift ideas, to suit all pockets.
Whether it’s a Halloween birthday party, a fund-raising event, or just something a bit different for the trick or treat callers, there’s no shortage of Halloween gifts around. If you’re having a party at home, you can also decorate it in Halloween style. No need to go overboard – little touches can often be just as effective, especially if they’re quirky. For example, how about a Devil-shaped Celebriduck, to replace the usual yellow rubber bath duck? A few spooky cobwebs and glow-in-the-dark stickers, and your bathroom has been transformed!
Halloween is great fun for youngsters, and there are plenty of Halloween gifts which avoid overstepping into darker territory. NICI have created a range of plush soft toys and other collectibles especially for Halloween. NICI Castle Friends include witches, bats, werewolves, spiders and other miniatures, which are perfect for either trick or treat or Halloween party bags. Figurines are also great Halloween gift ideas. How about a limited edition My Blue Nose Friends Echo The Bat Figurine, or a Me To You Bears Tatty Teddy “Trick or Treat” statuette? Both make wonderful gifts for collectors, and are not in the least bit scary. In fact, you’ll find cuteness an overwhelming factor in the majority of Halloween gifts. There’s even a cute Frankenstein’s Monster keyring!
Of course, Halloween isn’t just for children – grown-ups can have fun as well. With bonfire night just around the corner, a lot of people will be combining the two into one celebration. With this in mind, there’s an eco-friendly alternative to fireworks: Eco Chinese flying Lanterns. The ideal Halloween gift if you’ve been invited to a “bring a firework” party, these have overcome the problem of metal wire holders (which are dangerous to livestock and environmentally unfriendly) with eco-friendly flame-retardant string. Rising silently (and some would say spookily) into the air, they can rise to over a mile and burn for around 20 minutes. Some people have even mistaken them for UFOs – perfect for a Halloween party!
Whatever you’re doing this Halloween, the chances are you’ll want to dress suitably for the occasion. But you can do better than a set of cheap plastic fangs and some face paints. There’s a whole range of accessories available that are the equivalent of anything you’d see in the Vampire Diaries. For example, how about a set of movie-quality Special FX Vampire Fangs? Amazingly realistic, these aren’t a toy but a professional stage accessory, and make great Halloween gifts for people who enjoy amateur performance. They are custom fitted with dental putty to the exact shape of your mouth, and by moving a bar with your tongue you can make them appear and disappear at will. Very effective if you want to give trick or treat callers a scare!
