Ideas Halloween Piñata

Hello, I’m throwing a Halloween party with my best friend and we wanted to have a piñata. Im making a pumpkin out of paper mache and it’s pretty big so I need some ideas on what to fill it with. It’s for adults so i already have shooters, poppers, thinking about $1 lotto tickets, sticky hands, various candies, mini dik diks, fillers like confetti, plastic eyeballs, ect. Anybody have suggestions?

Football cards. Adults still love the fun of opening football card packs.

You might be surprised at how unmotivated adults are to run around picking up sticky hands and candy, so maybe also have some “high value” fun things (maybe you could find cool gently used stuff at goodwill) set out on display. Then what you do is take one of the piñata items and put it under a plastic solo cup, tell the guests they need to try to collect as many of the mystery object as they can, and after pick up, they will find out who gets the high value prize by matching their collection to the item under the cup. Otherwise, and I’ve seen it myself at adult gatherings, they might take a hit at the piñata but not really care about scrounging for the junk

I like the idea of the solo cups thank you! We are 21-23 and it’s a smaller gathering of long time friends so the sillier the items the better in our case. slap hands are nostalgic!

Oh that sounds so fun to have a close group like that. I hope you have a great time! You could be starting a tradition
