Halloween gift exchanges are a great way to add some extra fun to your Halloween celebrations. Whether you’re looking for ideas for your family’s traditional gift exchange or want to start a new tradition this year, these unique gift exchange ideas are sure to add lots of fun and spooky excitement to your holiday.
Candy Exchange
With Halloween being the biggest candy-centric holiday of the year, why not center your gift exchange around that? Everyone can bring a selection of their favorite treats, and then draw names to determine who gets a basket of candies from whom. It’s a great way to get your whole family involved in the festivities without spending a fortune on each individual gift.
Jack-O-Lantern Gift Exchange
This classic gift-exchange idea is perfect for a small group and is a great way to share some of those horror-movie fantasies. Everyone participating brings a creepy Jack-O’-Lantern and then takes turns choosing one from the group. It’s a fun way to get the spooky season going and is sure to get your guests in the mood for a good, frightful night.
Mystery Bag Exchange
Nothing says spooky like a surprise. Ask each guest to bring a bag, craft a jack-o-lantern face on it, and fill it with small Halloween-related items. When you’re done, have everyone take turns randomly selecting a bag and opening it up to reveal the mystery contents. It’s a great way to get everyone laughing and enliven the party.
Costume Exchange
This one’s perfect for a larger crowd and is a great way to encourage your guests to get creative and dress up. Everyone participating can bring their favorite costume or accessory, then draw names to determine who gets to take home which costume. Be sure to have at least one adult present to supervise and instruct the children on how to safely participate.
Scare Prank Exchange
To get your Halloween party started, why not have a scare prank exchange? Everyone in attendance can bring their favorite joke, horror movie prop, or Halloween gag gift. When everyone’s gathered, have them draw names and give away their prank to the Winner. It’s a great way to add some extra excitement to the evening and help lighten the mood after a long night of frights.
No matter what gift exchange idea you decide to go with, Halloween is sure to be a spook-tacular event. From the mystery bags to the costumes, there’s lots of fun to be had and plenty of spooky surprises to share.
