These are small, decorative labels affixed to packages given out during the Halloween season. They commonly feature thematic imagery such as pumpkins, ghosts, or bats, and often include space for a short message, such as “Happy Halloween” or the recipient’s name. As an example, a child might receive a candy-filled package with a tag displaying a cartoon witch and the phrase “To: [Child’s Name], From: Your Friend.”
