Spooky Treats to Delight Trick-or-Treaters

Spooky Treats to Delight Trick-or-Treaters

The summer holidays are over, and all the kids are back to school, so parents can breathe a sigh of relief, but not for long - Halloween is right around the (dark and cobweb-covered) corner!

While the thought of hundreds of kids dressed as witches, goblins, and jars of marmite (it’s a thing, we’ve seen it) might be enough to have any parent quaking in their boots, not having anything to hand over when the trick or treaters come knocking is an even more terrifying prospect.

While, like 41% of the British population, you could opt to turn off all the lights and spend the evening in morbid silence in the hope that children will leave you alone, if you do feel like joining in and treating the kids this year, our Halloween gifts are the perfect solution.

Trick Or Treat? Where did it all begin?

The tradition of trick-or-treating can be traced back to ancient Celtic customs. Over 2,000 years ago, people celebrated Samhain, a festival marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter. It was believed that the veil between the living and the dead was thinnest during this time. To ward off spirits, people would dress in costumes and offer food.

As centuries passed, these customs merged with Christian traditions. Children would dress up and perform songs or jokes in exchange for treats. When Irish and Scottish immigrants brought this tradition to North America, it evolved into the modern-day trick-or-treating we know today.
