Costume, and trick-o-treating is plenty. My LO might very well get something fun around Halloween (Halloween colouring book, for example), but I'm not starting a tradition of giving gifts at all the holidays. I don't want her to learn to expect gifts. Christmas and her birthday are enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1845966 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 19:21:33 +0000 sandy 1845966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No Halloween gifts - just a costume, candy, pumpkins, and trips to the pumpkin patch (cider, roasted corn, kettle corn, etc) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1845935 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 19:05:44 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1845935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE holidays, my dog always gets a new holiday themed stuffed animal or chew toy so I am guessing I will be the same way with my future kiddos :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1845892 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 18:37:53 +0000 Corduroy 1845892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, she won't be getting a Halloween gift. Halloween is big for us so I think she'll get a card from Grandma and Grandpa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1845044 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:32:09 +0000 blackbird 1845044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange, i love when people give me my favorite foods as presents!

I mean, I consider getting to dress up and have people hand me candy for free a gift.

A costume, pumpkins, decorations and candy is about all I'm willing to purchase for Halloween. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844960 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 09:49:48 +0000 LuLu Mom 1844960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year I did get her a book and some little things since I was going to be tossing all the candy she collected. This year she will just get her costume &amp; a candy basket and call it good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844956 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 09:48:29 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1844956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably buy a book or fun socks/hair accessory for almost any holiday and think of it more as a treat, but probably not a toy. I like to acknowledge the holidays with something fun, but don't really go all out. Plus, with so many fall festivals and Halloween parties and an early Nov birthday, I am sure LO will have plenty of new stuff around then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844845 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 08:56:27 +0000 JerricaBenton 1844845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: @ValentineMommy: :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844820 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 08:41:48 +0000 ValentineMommy 1844820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: ordering right now :) Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844806 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 08:36:42 +0000 Mamaof2 1844806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: OMG so cool - I am ordering it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844801 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 08:35:17 +0000 JerricaBenton 1844801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: it's called The Spooky Smells of Halloween.

I just bought 2 books off amazon for him.</p> <p>@blackbird: DS is only 18m...so one piece of candy is prob all he'll get :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844775 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 08:28:07 +0000 mediagirl 1844775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Halloween's gifts are candy from the neighbors!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844771 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 08:26:27 +0000 JerricaBenton 1844771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was a kid I'd be able to pick out a Halloween book or some Halloween stickers or socks at some point during October. I consider that more of a treat than a gift (semantics, I know). I do the same for LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844766 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 08:25:43 +0000 Dandelion 1844766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But, I do send my niece something. My own kid gets a costume and permission to eat candy, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844746 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 08:17:48 +0000 blackbird 1844746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Isn't that what candy or costumes are? lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844743 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 08:16:18 +0000 immabeetoo 1844743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a few books from grandparents and pulled them out a week before to talk about the holiday. I probably won't buy anything - we'll go to a pumpkin patch, etc. I feel like the more stuff he has, the less he cares about any of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844737 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 08:11:30 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1844737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not specific gifts, no. But maybe something small like a light up necklace or some stickers if we come across something fun :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844733 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 08:07:36 +0000 Smurfette 1844733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to get a couple books but that is to read before Halloween so she knows what it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844727 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 08:02:37 +0000 Bao 1844727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I did buy a few Halloween books but just to have them not as gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844726 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 08:01:38 +0000 rachiecakes 1844726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do!<br /> But it's usually Halloween accessories like a cool flashlight, stickers and maybe a new cup in his Halloween basket before we go trick-or-treating. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844725 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 07:57:58 +0000 loveisstrange 1844725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No? I wasn't aware Halloween was a gift giving holiday. We stick to Christmas and birthday and an Easter basket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844718 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 07:52:08 +0000 Littlebit 1844718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO isn't here yet - but I plan to! Like @Mamaof2: my mom always gave us little gift's for valentines, halloween, st. patrick's day, 4th of july. Nothing big, usually a book, some candy, a small toy, and then she'd decorate a little bit. I plan to do the same thing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-lo-halloween-gifts#post-1844714 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 07:47:08 +0000 Mamaof2 1844714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do!</p> <p>On holidays I like to put out a themed place mat (Halloween, Easter, Valentine's day, etc) along with little signs on the table and a small treat/gift.</p> <p>Its fun and the kids love it! </p>
