Below are the products I mention and where you can find them.

The light up Halloween bucket, as well as the LED bracelet and finger laser lights, can be found at Learning Express Toys in Roseville.

I love the LED bracelets, a great way to spot your little one in the dark, they are bright and higher quality than a glow stick bracelet.  The connectors on glow stick bracelets often come off and the kids end up losing their glow sticks, this is not the case with this LED bracelet.  

The light up Halloween bucket is free with a $25 purchase from their Boo-tique section. They have a great selection of items if you would like to "Boo" a neighbor.
This is a great locally owned toy store that has great products as well as hosts family fun events, like character meet and greets.

These light up masks are great for a costume, but also for the adult/chaperone in your group who maybe isn't dressing up.  This is a simple way to participate but also a safety gadget, bringing light to your group.

The LED trick-or-treat bag is one of my favorite safety gadgets! I love multi-purpose items, it has lights to help you stay visible and it is a great bag to carry all your candy in.  The bag is very large and sturdy, I love this product! 
You can find the light up LED trick-or-treat candy bags for $14.95 here.

You can find reflective tape to add to your trick-or-treat bags or costumes at your local hardware store, I found mine at Home Depot. You can find reflective products like wristbands and ankle bands at your local Walmart or Target usually where exercise equipment is sold and you can find a variety of glow sticks at the Dollar Store including the disposable glow in the dark skeleton gloves. 

Remember to make sure someone in the group has a cell phone and portable charger, you can find the GPS Apps I mention on my Trick-or-Treat Safety Tips blog post along with links to download them.  

Ting Mobile just conducted a Digital Family Lifestyle Survey, which reported that of the 1,565 parents surveyed, 76% got their kid a phone for safety reasons.

Ting Mobile’s recent digital lifestyle survey found that 45% of parents of kids with phones used some kind of location tracking service to monitor their child’s location. It makes sense that parents would want to add an extra safety measure on Halloween.

Andrew Moore-Crispin, a former tech journalist, is the Director of Content at Ting Mobile, a top-rated mobile phone service that loves to save consumers money.  To help ease parents’ concerns he offers the following Tech Safety Tip for Halloween. 

Turn your child’s phone into a GPS tracker - Google Maps has a cool feature that lets you share locations in real-time. You can see where your trick-or-treaters are and supervise from home. This is an awesome Halloween safety tip for parents of slightly older kids (think early middle school) where kids might be asking to trick-or-treat on their own with a group of friends.

This GPS tracker for Halloween night is easy to set up. You’ll need two Google Accounts (one for you and one for your child), two devices and the Google Maps app installed on both devices. Just follow our step-by-step guide.

I hope these tips and gadgets will help you have a FUN and SAFE Halloween!
