👻 A Spooky Trip Down Memory Lane: The Origins of Trick or Treating
Halloween’s roots stretch back thousands of years, blending ancient rituals and modern celebrations into the tradition we know today.
Ancient Beginnings
The earliest origins of Halloween date back to the Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrated in what is now Ireland and Scotland. People would dress in costumes to ward off wandering spirits that were believed to cross over into the mortal world during the long, dark autumn nights.
Medieval Transformations
As Christianity spread, Samhain blended with All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day—times when people prayed for the dead. Children and the poor went “souling,” visiting homes to receive food in exchange for prayers for departed loved ones.
The American Evolution
The practice of “trick or treating” as we know it emerged in the early 20th century in North America. Children began dressing up in costumes and going door to door asking for sweets with the cheerful phrase “trick or treat!”—a playful threat meaning “give us candy, or we’ll play a trick!”
🍬 The Rise of Trick or Treat Bags
Early Days: Homemade Solutions
In the 1940s and 50s, as trick or treating became a national pastime in the U.S., children carried whatever they could find—pillowcases, baskets, or even old shopping bags—to collect their loot.
1950s: The Birth of the Trick or Treat Bag
By the 1950s, with Halloween becoming increasingly commercialized, candy companies and toy manufacturers began producing themed trick or treat bags featuring spooky characters, pumpkins, and ghosts. These brightly coloured bags became symbols of the holiday.
1980s to Today: A Seasonal Staple
Over time, trick or treat bags evolved into collectible items. Today, they come in a variety of shapes, materials, and sizes—from glow-in-the-dark plastic buckets to eco-friendly canvas totes. The modern trend toward personalised bags, like those from Spotted Lizard Prints, has added a heartfelt touch to the spooky season.

🕯️ Why Choose a Personalised Halloween Bag?
Personalised gifts always hold extra meaning, especially for children. Here’s why our Boo Crew Trick or Treat Bag is such a hit with families:
1. A Sense of Ownership
When your child’s name is printed on their bag, it becomes truly theirs. It gives them a sense of pride and helps prevent mix-ups when trick or treating in groups.
2. A Keepsake to Treasure
After the candy is gone, the bag remains as a keepsake of a magical night. Parents often save these bags in memory boxes alongside photos of their child’s costume and Halloween adventures.
3. Environmentally Friendly
Unlike disposable plastic buckets or single-use bags, our polyester tote bags are reusable and eco-conscious. You’re helping reduce waste while creating a sustainable Halloween tradition.
4. Built to Last
Each bag is carefully hand-printed using professional-grade equipment and eco-friendly inks. The durable fabric and strong stitching ensure it can be used year after year without fading or fraying.
