In a little kid’s life, there’s nothing so exciting as the opportunity to dress up each year, knock on strangers’ doors, and receive unlimited heaps of candy. But for adults, Halloween can sometimes turn into a stressful event of wrangling little ones, buying expensive costumes, and dealing with rowdy teenagers. To make trick-or-treating fun for the whole family, follow these five easy tips:
1. Make a plan
Don’t leave trick-or-treating planning until the last minute. Plan ahead of time to make the most of this holiday. Look for costumes in advance so that nothing is sold out or unable to be delivered in time. Plan the best route to stay in well-lit areas and hit up the houses with the best candy. Make sure everyone knows what to do if they get separated, such as returning to the house or finding a meeting spot.
2. Find affordable costumes
Costumes don’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. You can find inexpensive costumes for kids and adults on Temu, an e-commerce site that provides consumers with high-quality products at affordable prices. Choose from options like the Unicorn Grils Princess Dress or the Halloween Long Sleeve Bat Costume for the little ones. Parents can wear the Clown Queen Costume or the Dress up EVA Polyester Mask. You can even find outfits for your furry friends, such as the Pumpkin Four Leg Sweatshirt for dogs.
3. Test it out ahead of time
Make sure to try out any costumes ahead of time to ensure they’re a good fit. You want something you can walk in without tripping, which is especially important for younger kids who will be sure to run around on the big night. If you’re using face paint, try it out the week before to make sure that you don’t have a skin reaction to it.
4. Make the most of candy holders
While a pillowcase can just as easily hold candy, it’s hardly as festive as a pumpkin candy holder. Buy the younger kids cute candy holders like the Portable Pumpkin Candy Small Bag or Halloween Decorative Round Tote Bag. The tote bag comes in various spooky designs like a winged bat or spider-infested pumpkin that will be sure to be a hit among the youngsters.
5. Stay in a group
To ensure a safe Halloween, stay in a group while trick-or-treating. It can be safe for older kids to go without parental supervision, but make sure they’re going with a group and not alone. For smaller kids, always ensure parental supervision instead of sending them off with younger teens. Try to have at least one adult for every three kids to make sure that there aren’t too many of them to manage.
Halloween is a unique opportunity to dress up, indulge in delicious candy, and revel in the spookiness of the season. Make the most of this ghoulish holiday by finding affordable, spooky designs on Temu that your kids will remember for ages.
Temu is a sister company of Pinduoduo. Both companies belong to the Nasdaq-listed PDD e-commerce group, one of the largest online shopping platforms in the world with more than 11 million suppliers and almost 900 million customers.
