Is it rude NOT to give out goody bags at your kids' birthday party? Some moms think that party bags are wasteful, filled as they usually are with plastic and sugary junk that usually gets thrown away at home. But others feel guilty and find it hard to part with the tradition of handing out party favors as a "thank you" to guests.
If you think a parting gift is a nice gesture, here are a few creative alternatives to the classic trinket-filled goody bag.

What will really bug the kids at your next Halloween party? Creepy, crawly ice cubes, of course! The folks over at Williams-Sonoma must have used their spidey sense to come up with this cool party trick. Add toy plastic spiders to an ice cube tray, fill with water, and freeze. Serve with witches brew, blood punch, or any other spooky potion of your choosing.
Got any fun, creepy ideas for kids' Halloween parties?

Tombstone Cookies for Halloween

Wouldn't it just be delightful to be buried in milk chocolate? That's the idea behind these darling Tombstone Cookies for Halloween that I found on MyRecipes.com. This particular recipe is delicious but involved: It requires you to make BOTH the pots de creme (graveyard) and cookies (tombstones) completely from scratch. Luckily, I figured out an easy shortcut.
