Halloween gift idea needed

[Soulsearching]

I would like to send my daughter a Halloween Gift to her college dorm, but I don't want to send candy and I want to keep the gift under $25.

I would like to order something on line. It would make life easier then buying and then going to the post office to have it delivered.

Any ideas??????

How about a "spooky" movie? You could include a bag or two of microwave popcorn packets too. If you sent it from home, you could make a fun snack like popcorn balls (I always think of popcorn balls at Halloween). What about a Halloween tee-shirt? Old Navy has some cute ones for cheap.

That is all I can think of for now...

When I was in school, my mom sent me a package from oriental trading each month... each month was party supplies for a different theme. There was plenty of fun things included, and we all really looked forward to our "party in a box".

What about something like bath and body works items? They have a few fall scents like pumpkin and an apple cider.

Or Yankee Candle company and get a couple fall candles.

Or like the poster below said Old Navy has some $5 halloween shirts. They also have halloween pj bottoms for $10 and halloween socks as well.

I just ordered this gift tin for my college girl - I think that with shipping the total was $21.00. www.thepopcornfactory.com/ghost

Borders had Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown Uno & Yatzee.

For me anytime I think Halloween, I think Great Pumpkin

no suggestions, but when did Halloween become a " gifting" holiday?

LOL, I have a cousin that goes all out for Halloween b/c she says eveyone can celebrate it, unlike Valentines Day that makes single people feel left-out!

I think it's a good excuse to send something to a college student!

I love the Oriental Trading idea.

Or a Vermont Teddy Bear.

Or a care package of Halloween themed non-candy treats. Right now at Target a box of 40 mini Rice Krispies treats is $3.99. They also have those little bags of mini choc chip cookies. And I'm sure you can find granola bars, pretzels, etc. as well all Halloween themed. (Although this would require a trip to the post office.)

ETA, thought of a few more ideas:

Mrs Prindable's candy apple http://www.mrsprindables.com/gifts/caramelapples.asp

Sephora.com has Philosophy's Trick or Treat duo, 'I love Candy Corn', Caramel Apple and a Pumpkin Spice line.

Bath and Body Works also has a whole bunch of different Halloween/fall themed things:

Great ideas, I'll have to check out Old Navy and bath and body works, but I gotta believe they won't let college students light candles.

When you haven't seen your child since August and just want to send something fun.

Mrs. Prindables was first on my list, till I added the shipping, but I will check out Sephora, thanks for the idea.

As a college student I would say the " party in a box" idea is great. Old navy has cute halloween pajama pants for about $10 grab a scary movie maybe something you already own and throw in a bag of popcorn and some sweets !

This is such a cute idea! Thanks!

Any day is a gifting holiday when your child's away at college....Happy Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. Just to say I love you and miss you! The goodie bags will mean a lot to her!

Have to agree with the others - when your child is away from home, its fun to send them treats and they LOVE to receive them. I try to send my DD something each week - sometimes the packages are larger than others, some times it just a token gift to let her know that we are thinking of her and miss her. I actually buy clearance stuff after the holidays and save them for the following year!!!

I love the party in a box idea!!!
