    Punching Bag

    Cut a few inches off the top of a paper lunch bag and lightly draw the letters B-O-O near the top. Fold one side of the bag in and crease lightly through the middle of the letters. Punch holes through both layers of paper along the letter bottoms (make holes close together but not touching). Pull the folded side up to reveal "BOO." Fill the bag with sand and a candle.

    Melting Pot

    Cut a hole in the top of a pumpkin just large enough to hold the rim of a small bowl; fill the fondue pot with melted chocolate and serve with cubes of pound cake.
