Mini light-up pumpkin - HEB Instant towels - Michael's Light-up bracelets - Target Skeleton hair clips - Walmart Grow your own toy - Michael's PEZ dispensers - CVS Bloody bones candy - Target Candy - Walgreens Pumpkin buckets - Walmart

I think these Monster Kisses are so cute!

I made the lid the same but used black foam board instead to match the pumpkins. 

Tested Sharpies and paint pens to see what would show up best. 

Silver paint pen worked the best.

Used packing tape to seal the lid to the pumpkin bucket.

UPDATE: They all arrived and only one took an extra day to arrive.

I filled 4 pumpkin buckets with fun Halloween novelty gifts/candy and mailed.

Light up necklaces - Walgreens

Lip pops - Walgreens

Pumpkin tattoos - HEB

AND

CANDY...lots of candy!

I found a bowl that was close to the same size as the opening. I would've just taped it in place if I had green bowls. Bonus idea!!! :)

I traced the bowl and drew notches. 

Used an exacto knife to cut them out. You don't have to be perfect and adjust once you place it on the pumpkin.

I cut the notches just a little longer so they fit inside the pumpkin. 

I was going to add the address to the top but decided to write Happy Halloween instead. 

Sealed with packing tape. 

I used priority stickers and placed them on the back side of the pumpkin. 

Off to the post office!

Cost to mail priority was between $8.20 - $ 11.20.

Two pumpkins had double the stuff so they were $11.20 to mail.

They all arrived in one piece! Such a fun surprise!

Happy Halloween!
