Wear Weather Appropriate Clothing

When it comes to Halloween, the great British weather can be as unpredictable as a ghost’s mood, especially in October! That’s why a top tip from Poundland is to make sure you’re all set with weather-appropriate clothing for your trick-or-treating adventures.

Whether it's a chilly breeze or an unexpected downpour, layering up is key. We recommend having some extra layers handy in a bag to take with you - our Take Me To The Pumpkin Patch Bag for Life is perfect for just that, providing ample space to stash a warm hoodie or raincoat.

Glow Necklaces & Bracelets Are Perfect to Keep an Eye on Your Child in the Dark

Not only are glow necklaces and bracelets a fantastic addition to your child’s Halloween costume, but they’re also incredibly practical for keeping an eye on them in the dark. As the night falls and the spooky fun begins, these glowing accessories help you spot your little monsters from afar.

Rules to Follow When Trick or Treating

As you gear up for a night of Halloween fun, it’s important to remember some key rules to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. First off, Halloween etiquette in the UK suggests that being polite goes a long way - make sure to remind your kids to say “please” and “thank you” when they’re collecting their treats. It’s also a good idea to prepare younger children for the potential jump scares they might encounter along the way. A bit of spooky décor can be thrilling, but it's best to keep things fun and friendly. Encourage your little ghouls to stay on well-lit paths and always check their sweets before digging in. With these rules in mind, you'll ensure a safe and respectful trick-or-treating experience that’s full of Halloween cheer!
