💡 Pro Tips

• Place a Teal Pumpkin by your door with non-food favors (glow bracelets, stickers) for children with severe allergies.
• Buy candy varieties your household genuinely enjoys so any rainy night leftovers are a welcome bonus.
• Once your bowl is empty, turn off your porch and driveway lights to signal you are out of candy.
