I need to get Halloween candy

[conuly]

Or else order glow sticks like I have before, but I'm thinking about what we'd like left over. One year a neighbor gave out juice boxes, those were a big hit. What do you all hand out?

Plastic toys, usually. I had some creepy crawlies for a couple of years, and then last year had creature rings (spiders, mostly). This year I'll put out some Play Doh too, for the littlest ones. (I need to swing by Target and check their assortments.)

Note that this is all stuff that I put out on a try, on the front walk, for no-contact distribution. There's no way to hand stuff through the screen door, and between the big friendly dog and the three escape artist cats, opening the door again and again just doesn't work. No candy, because squirrels etc. (Past residences had airlocked front doors, mostly, and only creatures that avoided the front door.)

I never thought of juice boxes, though! Just candy. And small, not-candy things (for the allergic).
