Trick or Treat

Someone I know saves her Ferrero Rocher wrappers and then puts them round brussell sprouts to give to the halloween brigade when they knock on her door. Anyone know any good ploys?

I had a shaved head one year, I blacked my eyes out and whitened my face then popped a pair of white contact lenses in (zombie style). I also have a life-sized plastic human skull which has a neck hole just the right size for dispensing sweets.
The first visit was a pair of kids about 6 YO ...so I opened the door and went "YES??" one of them instantly burst into tears LOL

My mother had a neat way of dealing with cold callers. Many years ago she opened the door to someone who said that she was collecting for Dr Barnado's, and would she like to contribute. Her reply was,
"Well, you can take these two little buggers for a start!" (Me and my brother)
