I have one tiny issue with children's party favors.
Why do some of them look like things nobody actually wants?
If you are already putting together a Halloween party, I think the little take-home gifts deserve some spooky attention too.
Of course candy is always welcome, it's Halloween after all, but there are so many fun favors you can give besides filling another plastic bag with chocolate.
Some of these are edible, some glow, some are crafty, and a few are cute enough that I may want one myself.
Halloween Party Favors For Kids
1. Mini Cauldron Slime Kits Kids Love
 |
| @tlsimon68 |
Slime inside tiny black cauldrons is so Halloween that I don't even need convincing.
The neon green makes the whole thing look like a witch has been cooking something questionable.
Kids will love this one.
2. Glow-in-the-Dark Skeleton Finger Puppets
 |
| @holidayhints |
These glowing skeleton finger puppets are creepy, funny and small enough to throw straight into every favor bag.
3. Personalized Trick-or-Treat Candy Bags
 |
| @arshinerofficial |
A personalized bag always feels a little more special.
Orange and black obviously works perfectly here.
Add each child's name and suddenly the bag itself becomes part of the gift.
Plus, there is somewhere to put all that candy they are definitely collecting.
4. Spooky Eyeball Bouncy Ball Sets
 |
| @m1niv4nilla |
Who decided eyeballs needed to bounce?
The bright blues, greens and purples make these much more fun than your regular little party ball.
5. Witch Hat Cookie Pops Wrapped Cute
 |
| @sweetjeenie |
An edible favor will never offend me.
These black witch hat cookie pops look really cute wrapped in cellophane and ribbon.
I also like that you can display them on the party table first before everyone grabs one on the way out.
6. Mini Frankenstein Playdough Jars
 |
| @simpleeverydaymom |
Green playdough jars with tiny Frankenstein faces are adorable and that's basically the whole argument.
7. Halloween Temporary Tattoo Sheet Packs
 |
| @entertainidea |
Temporary tattoos are one of those small things kids can somehow spend forever choosing between.
Pumpkins, bats, ghosts; give them the full Halloween selection.
They can wear them during the party or save them for later.
Either way, this is an easy little favor that still feels fun.
8. Mummy-Wrapped Flashlight Favors
 |
| @ssdesign_ |
Now this is a favor with commitment.
Wrap mini flashlights in white gauze, add those googly eyes and suddenly you have tiny mummies ready for the goodie table.
9. Personalized Spider Web Lollipop Bouquets
 |
| @lizardgem |
Lollipops are fine.
Lollipops turned into creepy spider web bouquets are much better.
The black candy and shimmery web wrapping make these almost too pretty to open.
Almost.
Put a few together on the table and you also have part of your Halloween decor sorted.
10. Vampire Fang Lip Balm Favor Tubes
 |
| @zazzle |
Vampire fang lip balm in red and black packaging is such a funny little Halloween beauty moment.
11. Pumpkin Seed Packet Craft Activity Kits
 |
| @michele95361 |
If you don't want every favor to involve sugar, this idea is actually interesting.
Pumpkin seeds inside kraft packets tied with twine have a cute rustic look too.
And unlike candy, this is something the kids can take home and do something with later.
12. Glow Stick Wand Witch Brooms
 |
| @clund1023 |
Glow sticks were already made for Halloween if you ask me.
Turn them into tiny witch broom wands and you have a favor the kids can start waving around before the party is even finished.
13. Mini Monster Bubbles Bottle Collection
 |
| @hillaryyeater |
Little monster bubble bottles are so unserious.
The green and purple colors fit Halloween without everything needing to be orange.
Add one to each favor bag and you're basically done.
I also like favors that kids can play with immediately instead of forgetting about them at the bottom of the bag.
14. Haunted House Puzzle Favor Boxes
 |
| @dortheholmhenni |
A haunted house box that also becomes a puzzle is way more interesting than plain favor packaging.
15. Candy Corn Scented Bath Bombs
 |
| @humblebeeandme.com |
Candy corn as a bath bomb instead of another handful of actual candy?
Cute.
The orange, yellow and white stripes still give you that classic Halloween look without adding another sweet to the pile.
16. Spiderweb Stamper and Ink Pad Sets
 |
| @spidersnowflake |
Crafty kids are going to like this one.
A spiderweb stamp and black ink already feels very Halloween before they have even used it.
Let them stamp paper, favor bags or whatever little craft you have set up.
It also works nicely if your party has an activity table.
Just expect somebody to become extremely committed to stamping webs everywhere.
17. Ghost Shaped Crayons in Favor Bags
 |
| @diddysdesigns25 |
Chunky ghost crayons tied inside clear favor bags are simple but very cute.
Add a ribbon and they already look gift-ready.
18. Pumpkin Face Paint Palette Sets
 |
| @usproductsoffer |
These little pumpkin and ghost face paint palettes can keep the Halloween fun going after the party.
I like the idea of giving something creative instead of only toys and candy.
The bright colors also make them look good displayed with the rest of the favors.
Mini artists, this one is for you.
19. Bat Wing Bookmark Leather Craft
 |
| @kasuwa_de |
A black bat-wing bookmark is probably the favor I would secretly keep for myself.
20. Dracula Juice Box Costume Wrappers
 |
| @sprkls2sprnkls |
A juice box wearing a Dracula cape? Please.
These are perfect for dressing up the snack table before the kids eventually take them.
Very simple idea, very obvious Halloween result.
Conclusion
A good Halloween favor doesn't have to be expensive, huge, or overflowing with sugar.
The fun is really in making ordinary little things look like they belong at a spooky party.
You can go messy with slime and playdough, cute with ghost crayons, useful with flashlights, or just give everyone cookie pops and call it a day.
No judgement from me.
I especially love the favors that can double as part of the table decor because why shouldn't one thing do two jobs?
Now fill those goodie bags, hide a little candy inside and send your tiny monsters home happy.
