For TOT, I give away dollar store type toys, but never pay dollar store prices. IMO, toys are better (and cheaper) than candy. Any overage can be stored until the next year. Usually, I manage to spend about $30 a year by spending $100 on a nice assortment every three years. It's time to restock. I try to spend between 15-60 cents per item.
I find that Oriental Trading toys and novelties are too small and crappy for the price. For a few years, I've bought treats from Joissu . com.
But their prices have crept up quite a bit. I make my buys in late June - long after the holidays, well before Halloween, and after school is out.
Past toy examples are: LED light-up flyers, flashing jewelry, wooden segmented snakes, small plush toys, inflatable spiky balls, and fly-back planes.
Anybody have any good wholesaler suggestions?
