gift guide: halloween
A FRIEND said to me the other day, “I just want to send my nieces and nephews a quick Halloween present without having to think about it.” I totally get it AND I have you covered. Halloween is one of those holidays where a gift isn’t usually a thing, but it’s just TOO fun to skip the chance to wow your little goblins. A sweet surprise will get your little loves super excited for the spooky day AND make them feel EXTRA special since they’re probably not expecting a gift at all (which is kind of the best time to send one IMHO).
WHETHER candy and sweet treats are your love language or you’d rather skip the crazed sugar high altogether, there are TONS of awesome choices that will wow your little ghouls and goblins. This Gift Guide will make your sweet Halloween surprise SO crazy easy to pull off. Also check out Our Favorite Halloween Books and Halloween Decor for lots more fun, not-so-spooky holiday ideas. BOO! GIFT A LITTLE HAPPINESS. xo
