Last year I got a mix of mostly chocolates, and some other candies I considered filler. When I let the kids choose I noticed they didn't choose the chocolate, but I don't remember what they chose.

I probably gained three pounds.

Please, what should I buy that the kids will like?

I do a theme every year, I print most of my decorations and then match the toys. Last year was actually creepy dolls, so printed some similar to this https://cults3d.com/en/3d-printing/articulated-creepy-doll-print-in-place-majomajer

Then I also printed a bunch of Aztec death whistles.

This year I’m doing Godzilla, so I’m printing out a bunch of chibi kaiju.

I bought a bunch of little Mesh treat bags on Amazon and I put a candy and a toy in each. Basically a homemade blind bag. All in all each bag with toy and candy comes out to just under a buck

I’m also printing a 7ft tall version of this (in sections) https://www.printables.com/model/508374-godzilla that’s going in my front lawn with a bunch cardboard box buildings

Holy crap. That's gonna be more than a dollar.

Little bit, I’m printing it at 5% infill and I’m at 20 rolls of filament so far - had two sections that were 3 day long prints fail which sucked reeeeeaaaallllu bad. I have a large format printer but it kinda sucks, I should have printed it in one of my smaller printers but I’m too far in now

Off and on, I've been working on a talking skull design. Nothing elaborate, just eyes and mouth, two skulls wise-cracking. I haven't gotten past the Blender models and looking at animation software, though. It's been three years.

Maybe next year.
