  • The 10 Halloween Gifts Every Grandparent Is Buying This Year

    The 10 Halloween Gifts Every Grandparent Is Buying This Year
    Jenny B.

    by Jenny B. · Oct 19, 2026

    Every Halloween ends the same way. The costume goes back in the drawer, the candy bowl is empty by the weekend, and by November 1st there's nothing left of all that excitement but a wrapper under the sofa. 🍬

    So this year I went looking for the treat that doesn't melt 🎃: toys with a little Halloween bite that keep working after the 31st. Things that make kids chase, steer, build and ask questions. Creepy enough for the night itself, clever enough to earn a place on the shelf. 👻

    Below are my 10 picks, running from proper fright 🕷️ to friendly glow ✨, so you can match the scare level to the child.

    And because you made it this far, I've got a little treat for you 🍭

    1. SpookyBot Remote Control Spider Toy

    ★★★★★1,146 reviews

    The one that gets the scream 😱

    SpookyBot Remote Control Spider Toy SpookyBot Remote Control Spider Toy SpookyBot Remote Control Spider Toy SpookyBot Remote Control Spider Toy+7

    Fill it with water, grab the remote, and watch it crawl across the floor breathing fog, eyes glowing red, with six spine-chilling sound effects. For older kids (it's made for ages 8 and up), this is the toy that runs the Halloween party, and the remote puts them in charge of the scare. Three spray modes and two demo sequences give them something to master well beyond the 31st. Hand over the controls with the SpookyBot Spider.

    • 🕷️ Crawls, breathes fog and glows on command
    • 🔊 Six sound effects, loud enough to fill a room
    • 🔋 Rechargeable spider (remote takes 2 AA, not included)

    Every Halloween party needs a stage, and this one brings its own. A real standing mic, Bluetooth to any phone and an LED light show that turns the living room into a haunted concert hall. Little vampires belt out spooky songs, ghosts take turns on the chorus, and somewhere in between they're building confidence, rhythm and expressive language. Long after the costumes come off, the encores keep coming. Hand them the spotlight with the Complete Karaoke Mic Set.

    The best Halloween treat is the one that doesn't melt. 🎃

    By next week the candy will be gone and the costumes folded away. What stays is the toy they're still chasing, steering and building with in November, and the person who chose it.

    Pick the one that made you smile as you read, and you've done the hard part.

    Just don't wait on it. My code SPOOKLAB still takes 15% off your whole order until midnight on November 1st, and if you spend over $120 the Spooky Stories eBook comes free. Happy haunting! 🎃
