Not full on teal pumpkin but I have candy that is nut free and cheese ball snack packs that are gluten free. So if you have a gluten AND nut allergy, sorry, don't come to dreemkin's house
dreemkin i usually get a huge bag of the good chocolate from costco and then only have a few trick or treaters. so...lots of candy for me. this year i want to do a teal pumpkin too, but i'm sure we won't have any trick or treaters who care. i am dying to make one of these. i might do the same in teal (maybe an owl?) and put it out with toys. www.bystephanielynn.com/2014/10/craft-pumpkin-candy-holders.html
Last year I got some candy that was free of most allergens, and I had a ton of it leftover. This year I think I'll actually put a teal pumpkin in the window so maybe we'll get more takers. If I do that I'll have a couple of options, allergy free things and maybe stickers or erasers or something.
Oh and we usually get a couple of big baths of chocolate and candy options; all of the Halloween mini size stuff.
My mom hands out the good stuff. She has cans of soda, bags of chips and popcorn, teal pumpkin stuff and full size candy bars that trick or treaters can pick from.
I am not planning on much this year being due right after. We get a fair amount of trick or treaters but I am either going to have a newborn and no energy or be so pregnant going up and down stairs to do door would be miserable. Heck the stairs are already miserable lol.
My kid is obsessed with stickers so I was thinking about having those in a basket maybe some fun pencils and such and have another basket with Reese's because those are !y favorite;)
We're on a private road and in the last 5 years have had exactly 0 trick or treaters. I always put candy out just in case but I think I'll skip that this year. Actually scratch that. Leftover candy means candy for me and I'm fine with that.
PS: Last year was really really crappy weather so I'm hoping to get more kids this year. My mom will man the door when we are away. I hate not knowing how much candy to get.
Full disclosure: I kinda hate trick or treating. Most kids are rude and ungrateful and it drives my dog certifiably (even more than he usually is) insane. I like to take my kids out to do it though of course!
dreemkin i loooooooooooove halloween and always want a million trick or treaters, but ungrateful kids make me ragey. Also, last year a girl RANG THE DOORBELL at 9:30 pm (ummmm my light sleeper was fast asleep, thanks) and took 3 handfuls of candy, then jumped in her mom's car. Her mom was just driving her from house to house if the light was on and letting her take all the candy. i mean i had a ton so whatever, but i would never let my kid do that.
agm04 I also hate the bigger kids that clearly aren't wearing a costume...I want to say no and close the door in their face but I'm afraid of future vandalism lol.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I hate trunk or treats lilyelayne I think they ruin the neighborhood spirit of the holiday.
I don't like giving candy to kids workout a costume, but the late night teens remind me of me the last time I went trick or treating as a teen, so in always nice to them. But we rarely get rude teens, it's usually the 9 or 10 year old that just grab handfuls without a peep to you.
We live in the country so no trick or treaters. Doesn't stop me from buying the giant bags of candy though. We went with my cousin last year in her neighborhood and will probably do the same this year

We're in an apartment so we'll see if we get any trick or treaters. The fact that the light by the door is automatic makes it extra tricky for kids. Maybe I'll walk a few blocks and take DS around the houses nearby.
Doing candy and bubbles. If kids have allergies they can take bubbles. I'm not going to worry over allergen free candy. I'm getting wedding bubbles from the dollar store and drawing ghost eyes on them.
It's so children with food allergies can still trick or treat. A house giving non food treats will post a teal pumpkin in the window or on the porch to signify an allergy free offering.
