16. Hallmark Paper Treat Bags and Treat Stands
In the 80s, hosting a Halloween party meant setting up a dedicated treat table, and Hallmark was the go-to source for coordinating paper goods. They produced beautiful, illustrated paper treat bags, matching paper plates, and elaborate cardboard treat stands. These centerpiece stands often featured multi-tiered displays shaped like haunted houses or spooky trees, designed to hold cupcakes and candy. The illustrations were incredibly detailed, featuring cozy autumn scenes filled with falling leaves, glowing jack-o’-lanterns, and whimsical forest creatures.
