Halloween is getting close. You’ve selected your costume, decorated, made party plans and you’ve possibly already aquired that all important stash of candy to hand out. Or have you? There is always that last minute run to the local Walmart. Perhaps you’ve eaten half of your stash, unable to resist that sugar rush, or the candy issue completely slipped your mind this year. Maybe you just didn’t anticipate seeing quite so many kids at your door this year. Here are a few ideas about what you might be able to find in your house to offer as a token gesture honoring the kiddies requests.
Take the opportunity to clean under your couch cushions. Everyone expects at least one guy in the neighborhood to give out his loose change. It’s not a bad idea. Halloween pennies add up and the kid can go out and buy the candy of his or her choosing later.
Forage through your pantry. See that old can of beets that you know you’ll never eat? What about the eight hundred packages of Ramen that you’ve horded against the day that you run out of food? Packages of instant oatmeal are okay, too. You can also unload odd packages of spices for marinades you’ll never make. All those fast food packets of ketchup, mustard and soy sauce that have been languishing unloved in that refrigerator compartment reserved for eggs may finally experience some movement.
All those pairless socks in the bottom of your drawer have been suffering from loneliness for far too long. Throw one of those into that yawning pillowcase and tell the kid it’s a one of a kind sock puppet.
