I throw an ADULT Halloween party.
Here is my party thread http://www.halloweenforum.com/party...es/134864-classic-halloween-theme-2014-a.html

I'm really just going around in circles and confusing myself (so really really over thinking it )with what to do for party favors. This is my first year doing them but I already have the bags.

The impression I want:

-Oh hey! I used to play with stuff like this when I was a kid but they are still super super fun!

-man, look how cute and fun this stuff is and still useful to me as an adult!

-Oh man, her party is so awesome (lol)

-also nom nom because candy. (will definitely put candy as filler)

I'm also trying to make this cheap!
Here are my ideas right now, that seem cost effective:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/141295111281 - black and orange halloween party poppers

http://www.ebay.com/itm/131198764014 - Jack O' Lantern Stress ball ... take a look at these, are they too small to be worth it?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/280994946442 - Halloween Para Troopers

I also wanna get everyone (around 20 ppl) temporary Halloween tattoos to play with but I haven't found a good amount of those for a good price yet.

Just let me know if you would actually have fun with stuff like this or ... not!?


OTHER IDEAS: Halloween rubber ducky, black and orange bracelets, spider rings (just plain black plastic kind), glow stick bracelets/necklaces

I've never heard of the fortune tell fish before. Those sound neat! Definite possibility!

So far I ordered the stress JOL and the poppers and I found some very affordable glowy bracelets at Michaels ($1.50ish for 12) that I'm going to get!

Good ideas! I think the pumpkin stress balls are big enough, and a very good price.

You might also get little glow in the dark bugs or similar creepy things. You can get lots of them in a bag, and sometimes they come in variety packs.

Last year for my halloween party I found these awesome truffle shaped little scented candles at the .99 Cent Store. They came in different types and smelled like chocolate, they also came in the nice plastic box and small burning plate. All I did was add a ribbon and cut off the skull and spiders of a packet of plastic rings that came from the same store, I made a bow with the skull or spider on top. I also went the extra mile and made tags with the date for them. I love them because it played on trick or treat. Some people wanted to eat them but found out it was a candle... Lol... Trick or treat? Here's a photo of what they looked like without the date tag... They still sell them at the dollar store. I think it's a great party favor for adults :D

Those candy/candles look like a really nice gift for your party guests. I love the play on "trick-or-treat" by having the smell of food but it's a candle..lol - great idea and you did a very nice job decorating the boxes.

I'm always inspired by roaming the aisles of dollar tree, michaels, target (esp. in their dollar section in the front), & walmart (they had a display of tons of party stuff for $1-$2 last year).....

some of the things I've used over the years are cups, funky glasses, the bigger rubber prizes (like rubber bats & skeletons - my friends still have theirs & use them every year for decorating!), little candles and/or candleholders, doilies decorated up in halloween awesomeness, black flower, magnets - and of course, the candy!

I was thinking the same thing as MichaelMyers1...FORTUNE TELLER MIRACLE FISH. They are mystical, weird, spooky. They tell your fortune in a vague way. They can be reused and most people keep theirs and share them with friends. Interactive toy. Fun for flirting. Good all around. Best of all, CHEEP, you can buy a hundred for just a few dollars.

My fish came in today! They are pretty cool! I have a ton! There are only 20-30 people coming ... lol.. Looks like some trick or treaters will be getting some too!

we have an adult halloween party every year, last year we did an pinata, filled it with candy, but also tiny ***** whistles, colored rubbers, and tiny bottles of alcohol from liquor store. Not sure how adult of a party you're after, but these were all hits! We did bigger favors for games, like a horror movie DVD (you can find great old horror titles at like Target for 5 bucks) Every year I go shopping at Spirit the day after halloween and scoop up halloween socks, keychains, flashlights, mugs, etc for favors at the next year's party!!!
