Note: I received samples to pass out for Halloween. All opinions are my own.
My kids love Halloween, what kids don’t?! As a parent, though, I hate having to deal with the checking and rationing of candy for the next few days/weeks/months. (We still have candy in a bag from last Halloween! Time to clean out!) I wish my kids would come home with more non-edible treats! This year I was given a box full of Trash Pack and Glitzi Globes to pass out to the neighborhood kids.
They were a huge hit, at least among the younger crowd! I’m not too sure about how the teenagers felt about them. I felt a little weird handing small toys to “grown” kids. I got messages the day after Halloween asking me where to find them and telling me their kids absolutely love them. (So did one kid’s dog, whoops!!)
The Trash Pack are little toys that are collectible and trade-able. They have 5 different series of little toys to collect from. Each bag comes with at least one Trash Pack which has a garbage can and a little monster that lives in the can. My boys absolutely love these little guys.
Glitzi Globes also come in a small pack and are collectible and trade-able. Glitzi Globes are not ready to go when you open the pack up like Trash Packs are, though. There are little pieces that you use to build your glittery globe of fun. My daughter is absolutely in love with these, as I thought she would be.
Both the Trash Pack and the Glitzi Globes would make great stocking stuffers or goodie bag treats for birthday parties. They are made in Australia, but they are found in the US in many different places. Be sure to check out where to find them by you on their where to buy section of their webpage.
My kids had an excellent Halloween and are still enjoying the candy, but they’ll be able to enjoy their Trash Packs and Glitzi Globes MUCH longer! What was your child’s favorite treat this year for Halloween?
A neighbor on Facebook was all excited when I posted a picture of the Glitzi Globes saying her son got one from us :/ but he also got a Trash Pack too so it’s all good!
I never heard of Trash Pack and Glitzi Globes, but I can easily imagine how kids would have been excited to receive this on Halloween. 🙂
My daughter would have loved to have gotten these instead of candy. Well not all instead of candy but a nice mix.
Love the little globe – such a great alternative to sweets!
What fun! I bet everyone wanted to trick or treat at your house!
Their costumes are adorable!
Sweet T would flip for the glitzy globes since they look like cupcakes!
My daughter has been asking for Glitzi Globes.
I like those Glitzy Globes, and I know my daughter would.
The Glitzi Globes would be perfect for my daughters and their friends. I’d never heard of them until today.
Love this! I would’ve preferred my kids get little toys as opposed to candy this year. They’re only 3 & 4, so they’re only allowed a couple pieces. The rest of the candy goes to waste.
I think my son would have enjoyed getting some of those in his trick or treat bag!
Their costumes are super, super cute!
I really love that idea so much more than candy, and even as a little one I would have loved it!
That is a much better alternative to candy!!
I LOVE that you got to hand these out! We did Cheetos this year instead of CANDY, but I like these little toys as an even better option!
