Make a Halloween Gift Bag for Your Friends

Halloween can be fun for grown-ups, too! I use it as an excuse to make little
Halloween Gift Bags that I give to my friends and business associates.

You don't need much, and you don't have to spend a lot of money. My favorite
place to shop for Halloween doo-dads is Walgreen's---and thanks to the coupons
that are usually in the Sunday newspaper, I can buy items at 2-for, 3-for, 4-for, and
even 5- and 6-for-$1.00! I buy an assortment of Trick or Treat bags, candies,
candles, and whatever else catches my eye, and then I use these things to make
up fun treat bags. Since I shop with coupons, each gift bag costs less than $1
total, so I make up plenty of them and keep them handy.

Since I work at home, I like to send a little Halloween Gift Bag like this to my
clients. A little bag of Tootsie Rolls or M&Ms (basically, anything that's chocolate)
will get a smile out of everyone---even the men!

To make quick, easy, and inexpensive Halloween Gift Bags, you'll need:

Trick or Treat Candy Bags
Candies
Candles
Other small Halloween-related items (let your imagination run away with you!)
Halloween Gift Tags (see below)
Simply stuff each bag with a few candies or other Halloween favors into a bag,
fold over the top, and attach a gift tag!

Hand them out to friends, business associates---and even the checker at the
grocery store...and watch the huge smile that you get in return!

Here's an idea for what to put in a bag:

The gift tags are meant to be printed on sheets of business cards. If you are
unfamiliar about working with business cards, then please see my tutorial:

For your convenience, I have provided Halloween Gift Tags that are already
made. One set just has a Halloween picture on each card, and one set has a
place for you to type in someone's name:
