Sustainable Costumes:

Scour local vintage stores or online boutiques for unique pieces that can be transformed into imaginative costumes. It’s a stylish nod to bygone eras and a step towards circular fashion.

Opt for vegan sweets from reputable brands that prioritize organic, non-GMO ingredients, ensuring a healthier treat option.

2. Support Local Bakers:

Purchase treats from local community bakers who offer healthier, locally-sourced alternatives to mass-produced sweets

3. Homemade Treats

If time permits, bake your own Halloween treats using organic, locally sourced ingredients.

Eco-Conscious Packaging:

1. Reusable Treat Bags

Encourage the use of reusable treat bags. Offer your guests stylish fabric bags that they can use year after year.

2. Recyclable Packaging

 For packaging sweets, opt for recyclable or compostable bags and boxes. It’s a small step with a significant impact.
