Items intended for inclusion within Halloween treat bags are commonly small, inexpensive trinkets, candies, or novelty toys. These items are distributed to children who are trick-or-treating as a gesture of goodwill and festive celebration. Examples range from miniature chocolate bars and hard candies to stickers, temporary tattoos, and small plastic toys.
The practice of providing these items enhances the Halloween experience for children, fostering a sense of community and reinforcing positive social interactions. Historically, the tradition evolved from practices of offering food and small gifts to appease spirits or provide sustenance to those in need during autumnal festivals. The modern iteration focuses on safe and enjoyable treats for children participating in trick-or-treating.
