The kids will soon be out begging for candy. You can let them, or your clients, put the “bite” on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with a chocolate candy bar wrapped in a 1040 tax return with the message “Here’s your chance to bite back at the IRS”. They also have a candy bar with a wrapping informing everyone that “Accountants make life less taxing”. Available from Mostad & Christensen. [1]

If you’re looking for treats to give your favorite accountant, you might consider any of these fun, and occasionally useful, gifts:

I [heart] Accountants Show off your love of the accounting profession with “heart”warming buttons, clothing, cups, bumper stickers and more! Available from CafePress. [2]

Black and Red Ink Computers may be making handwritten ledgers a thing of the past, but “traditional” accountants will still love the double ended pen. One end writes in red and the other in black. Available from Pens by Terry [3] but mistakenly called the “teacher’s pen”.

Accountant and CPA Mugs Take a break with one of the delightfully appropriate and perhaps nostalgic mugs. Available from GiftMugs. [4]

Halloween, is often though of as a children’s holiday. But that doesn’t mean grown-ups can’t have some fun too!
