Check out the teal pumpkin project. People will put out teal pumpkin indicating they have non food gifts or allergy friendly candy. We do this every year since my wife has food allergies.

Thank you for sharing this!! I have been wondering what to do for people in my neighborhood that may have allergies. Truthfully I never thought about it until this year...its my 3rd year passing out candy and the thought of someone not being able to participate because of an allergy makes me sad.

Thanks for posting! My son outgrew his allergies, but I still supply fun stickers, pencils, and other non-food items for kids that need them as well as put out my teal pumpkin and sign.

Yes! I have a teal plastic pumpkin and always have glow sticks, boxes of Halloween temporary tattoos, etc (in years past) for kids. This year I bought glowing Halloween rings for the kids. It’s nice to have an alternative
