    Default Prepare for Halloween

    Came across the neatest idea to start now for Halloween.
    Take a large clean coffee can place in an out of the way place and from now til halloween place small trinkets in it.
    Those little items that find their way into your home.
    Small balls, keychains,barrettes, action figures, new pencils, marbles, small balls, ballons, etc..

    Come halloween hand these out instead of candy.

    YES!!!!!! Now I don't have to feel guilty about getting rid of the little plastic frogs and trinkets that DD is always leaving around the house! Awesome idea -- not that we get many kids here, we live in a complex and most of the kids go elsewhere to pillage for food that night
    I can't be out of money... I still have checks left!

    That is a great idea, Happy Meal toys still wrapped in their package works well too .
