Last-Minute Halloween: Costumes and Candy That’ll Beat the Trick-or-Treaters to Your Door
It’s the week of Halloween and you forgot. Or you didn’t forget, you just didn’t deal with it, because you were busy dealing with approximately eleven other things. Either way, it’s October 26th, there are small humans in your house who expect to be a princess/plumber/skeleton in five days, and the craft store trip is not happening. Good news: Amazon Prime does not care about your October. Everything below ships in two days, which means it lands on your porch with time to spare before anyone shows up at your door asking for candy. Here’s the whole last-minute haul, costumes and candy both, so you can order it once and go back to your regularly scheduled chaos.
The candy (buy more than you think you need)
Every parent has made the mistake of underestimating a cul-de-sac’s worth of trick-or-treaters. Don’t be that house. Go big:
- 175-count variety bag (62 oz) of Jolly Rancher, Twizzlers, Sour Strips, and Airheads minis — the reliable base layer of any candy bowl
- Airheads Full Size Bars, 90-count box — the ones the big kids actually hope for
- 260-piece mega bag (4.3 lb) mixing Nerds, Trolli, Now & Later, Lemonhead, and Gobstoppers — serious volume for serious streets
- Ring Pop, 50-count bag — because nothing says Halloween like a plastic jewel you can lick
All of it ships fast, all of it is bowl-ready straight out of the bag, and none of it requires a trip anywhere.
And don’t forget the glow sticks! Here is a big haul of those in case you prefer to give those out instead of candy.
The costumes (coordinated, but zero effort on your part)
For the family that wants to match: a full Mario Bros. lineup — Luigi for one kid, Mario for another (or Dad), and a Princess Peach gown with crown, wand, and gloves for your littlest royal. Pre-assembled, no sewing, no last-minute glue gun emergencies.
For the kid who can’t decide: a mini doctor’s coat with stethoscope and clipboard, a medieval archer with cape and sword, or — if you’ve got a tween deep in a certain gothic phase — a tiered black Wednesday-style dress with the braided wig to match.
For the grab-and-go crowd: a Where’s Waldo stripe shirt and beanie for the grown-up who’s “not really dressing up, I just put on a hat,” plus a skeleton bodysuit and an astronaut suit for the kids who want something classic that still looks good in every photo.
All of it is Prime-eligible, which means two-day delivery — order today and it’s here well before the porch light goes on.

You’ve got five days. That’s plenty of time, as long as you stop scrolling and start adding to cart. Real life in the in-between means the glue gun stays in the drawer this year. You’re welcome.
