Bike Lights Set
Rated 4.6 out of 5 based on Amazon.ca reviews
Repurpose these bike lights by attaching them to your child’s costume or coat. The front light is bright enough to light up the path in front of them without blinding oncoming trick-or-treaters and the tail light will ensure your safety by being noticed all the time in the dark. They are quickly rechargeable by USB and, of course, you can use them on your bike when it’s not spooky season!
Glow Sticks (Bulk)
Rated 4.6 out of 5 based on Amazon.ca reviews
Boasting more than 26,000 customer reviews, these glow sticks will be the hit of Halloween. The bulk order includes 100 sticks in multiple colours and 100 dependable connectors to create necklaces or bracelets that light up in the dark. They’re also waterproof, which is helpful if the forecast calls for rain during trick-or-treating hours.
Flameless Pillar Candles
Rated 4.5 out of 5 based on Amazon.ca reviews
Pumpkin safety is also important on Halloween since they help light the pathway to your front door. You never know when a pumpkin might be knocked over by kids in a hurry or someone with a synthetic fabric costume might get too close to the open flame. It’s been a popular trend to opt for flameless candles, like these pillars that are available in assorted sizes and will fit best in a traditional jack-o-lantern variety of pumpkin.
