Candy
It's all about the candy on Halloween. Kids want to make sure they have the right bag or bucket to haul in their loot. Parents want to make sure the sugar gets doled out in semi-human doses and not devoured in one night! Here are our favorite sources for sweet stuff and super-cool Halloween bags.
Candy Bags
Zazzle. Zazzle has a nice array of canvas bags at good prices (around $12 and up) - and you'll find a range of designs that work for kids from toddlers to teens.
Etsy. Naturally, Etsy would be on our list! Tons of talented moms and other artisans out there making cute Halloween candy bags. A few of our favorites are Monkey See Boutique, maker of personalized buckets (below) - and the monogrammed name bags from Aidille (also pictured below).

Candy Warehouse is one of our favorite go-to sites for bulk Halloween candy, as well as color-themed or retro candy if you're having a party that requires purple licorice or orange sour balls.

Check out About.com's great list of recipes for homemade treats like Pumpkin Cake Pops, Pumpkin Marshmallows, and even homemade candy corn.
