Ohh thats a good idea! I never thought of that! Any suggested kinds?
 
Italian seasoning, sprinkles, southwest - whatever your favorites are - there is a thread with a file attached that you can print out and attach to the bags as well! Let me see if I can find it.

Hi Everyone,

I'm brand new (Just signed up Sept. 18th). My director just sent out this candygram idea for Halloween Goodie Bags (it's especially good for new consultants like myself):

At Walmart I was able to find:

Wilton goodie bags w/ twistie ties
Orange paper to print the poem on
Whoppers
Smarties
Smiley Face gum balls (can use lollipops or smiley stickers)
Mini bags of candy corn (optional, I just used them to fill up the bags a little more)

At I-Party I found Sprees in a mixed bag of candy. There were only 20 in an $8 bag of mixed candy, so that's not very cost effective. I'm still trying to find a better source for those. Any tips would be appreciated

I did something similar last year. I made a little gift bag that had a roll of smarties, a dum dum lollipop and my business card. On the back of my business card I put a label that said "Don't be a dum dum, be a smartie - book a party!"
 
I am handing out smarties with a business card with Be a Smartie book a party! on it! :)

I agree!!! Totally cute!!


If you do a search I have found threads in the past with a bunch of candy sayings in them. I never get to use them b/c we have a Fall Festival at church and I do not promote PC through it.
 
Just saw this on the pillsbury site....

Mandy.. how cute. Do you have recipes for these treats?? I love the apple/crooked teeth too along with the mummies.
 
I tried the "to all the Mummies" last year. I handed out about 60 of them and didn't get a single responce. I hope you have better luck.
 
I found Halloween ziploc bags at the $1 store and I ordered halloween postcards from vista print with the poem and I am including the candy with the poem and my business cards. We go out in a huge neighborhood. I was going to pass them around.
