You may associate Halloween with your favorite fun-sized candy bar, but when it comes to shopping for spooky finds, there's so much more to explore than just chocolate (we promise!) that are pretty "fangtastic" (get it?). Speaking of non-candy options, keep in mind that Halloween certainly isn't just for the trick-or-treating set. Many adults, college students and senior citizens are equally eager to celebrate the beloved holiday, so don't forget to check all of your family members off of your shopping list.

In that vein, perhaps you're shopping for someone who loves to cook or whip up cocktails or are looking to send a thoughtful treat to a new mama or busy BFF who could use a little pick me up. No matter what, you'll certainly want to take a look at the 40 festive gift options we've rounded up below.

Make this year's Halloween feel even more special and stock up ahead of time on games for kids, Hocus Pocus paraphernalia, entertaining essentials for your coworker's spooky bash (we've sourced lots of amazing hostess gifts) and even something cute for Fido.
