19 Things to Put in Trick or Treat Bags for the Adults
Make this Halloween extra memorable for the adults on your list with these fun small treats that are great for popping into goodie bags, add to Halloween gift baskets, or handing out as separate treats for grown-ups while the kids get their candy.
1. Useful Favor for Adults
This witch hand cream is the cutest and the most practical little thing to slip into a grown-up trick-or-treat bag.
The green tube with that fun witchy design is already giving me all the Halloween vibes. But the best part? It’s not just for looks, everyone can actually use hand cream, especially with chilly weather (and dry skin) right around the corner.
These come in a variety. You can pick a fragrance you love or pick something neutral enough that even a man could toss it in his car or desk drawer and not feel weird about it. It’s one of those small gifts that people will actually finish instead of tossing away. Plus, it looks so cute sitting in a guest bathroom, too.
I love these boo black tubes too, just had to add them to the gift guide.
2. Small Favors in Bulk
Not everybody has a sweet tooth, and that’s why I’m obsessed with these little pumpkin soaps. They’re adorable to display on the bathroom or kitchen counter for that instant seasonal home decor upgrade!
But they also smell so good and guaranteed they will actually get used up. No junk, no clutter.
What makes this set even better is how practical it is. You get 36 soaps, 36 organza bags, and 36 cute “Happy Halloween” cards. That means you can wrap them up individually and pop them into goodie bags, Halloween gift baskets, or hand them out to neighbors without stressing.
It’s budget friendly, super festive, and honestly one of those Halloween gifts for grown-ups that is excellent for people who don’t love candy, they will be happy to get one of these.
3. Halloween Kitchen Towels
I feel like kitchen towels are one of those gifts that never go to waste and these are so cute for Halloween! Each set comes with six, which means you can easily split them up between your close friends, coworkers, or even neighbors.
When you break it down, it’s about $2 per towel… and honestly, that’s such a fair price for something they’ll pull out and use year after year.
The designs are classic Halloween: pumpkins, black cats, castles, ghosts, spider webs giving off all the spooky vibes. I love that they’re not just “decor” but actually functional, so it’s one of those Halloween small gifts not crap that people appreciate.
Perfect for adding to a little goodie bag or gifting solo, these towels are so budget friendly and festive in the best way.

This one is such a win because everyone actually uses hand sanitizer (especially if they work in an office, are oustside a lot, or just have kids around). These Halloween minis are even better since they’re scented and let’s be real, nobody loves that harsh sanitizer smell.
This bulk pack comes with 24 bottles come in cute 1 oz size that slips right into a pocket, purse, or car cup holder. I like that I can hand them out individually, toss them in grown-up goodie bags, or even leave a few in a basket by the front door. It’s a budget friendly Halloween gift that will be appreciated.
5. Small Gifts for Grown Men
I love this idea because it’s not something that gets “used up” right away. People can pull these out every Halloween and enjoy them again and again. The can cooler sleeves are made from neoprene so they actually work, none of that flimsy stuff, and the fun part is nobody will ever guess how inexpensive they really are.
They keep drinks cold, keep hands dry, and come in those classic Halloween designs we all love, like pumpkins, bats, spiders, you name it. I like that they work just as well for him as they do for her, so they’re an easy Halloween gift for all.
When you need something gender-neutral. Toss one in a goodie bag, hand them out at a party, or add them to a basket, super practical and festive.
