Halloween Candy Bags for Trick-or-Treating

A trick-or-treat bag earns its keep by holding a heavy haul without tearing, so check fabric weight and seam construction first. Cotton canvas totes (10-12 oz) and quilted cotton buckets survive years of use; felt and tulle bags read cuter but hold less. Look at the handles, too: short loops suit little kids carrying one-handed, while a long cross-body strap keeps hands free for a flashlight. Sizes run roughly 8x10 inches for toddlers up to 13x15 for tweens covering the whole route. Most makers personalize with an embroidered or vinyl name, monogram, or a pumpkin, ghost, or bat motif, and many sell matching sibling sets. Printed cotton totes land around $12-$30; embroidered canvas and quilted buckets run $25-$55. A machine-washable fabric bag also rinses clean of melted chocolate far better than a plush one.
