Government guidelines and social distancing mean that the annual tradition of Trick or Treating will likely be missed this year.
But Abbi Woolsey didn’t want children to miss out on celebrating the occasion and so has come up with a plan to make Halloween feel special.

Hide AdAbbi, 22, said: “A lot of kids don’t really realise what’s going on or understand why they can’t do the fun things they did last year.
Abbi has a background in graphic design and so is putting those skills to use to make personalised boxes filled with sweet treats.
Parents can order boxes with ghosts, bats, pumpkins and of course their child's name.

The boxes come with a selection of Halloween stickers, a whistle, a chocolate lolly as well as a wide variety of sweets.
A personalised box with all the treats costs £5.99 but if you want to buy the box to fill with your own choice of sweets it’s £2.99.

Her business named Cuts and Shapes is based out of her home in Cusworth and was launched during the first lockdown.
“I started because I wanted to bring some colour and fun to celebrations that might have been dulled down due to the current circumstances.
“I’ve made vinyl signs to stick in windows for birthdays and anniversaries.
