Boo Basket or Hosting Basket?! 👻🍬 Your Official Party Guide to Both!
If there's one Halloween tradition we can absolutely get behind, it's the Boo Basket! Part gift basket, part spooky-season surprise, it's the cutest way to kick off October and make Halloween feel like a whole season worth celebrating...and it's not just for kids!!
Whether you're making a Halloween Boo Basket for your kids, your bestie, your partner, or even a neighbor... the formula is simple: grab a cute basket, add a few festive treats, sprinkle in some Halloween-themed fun, and prepare to become their favorite person.
Here are a few of our favorite ideas for filling one!
Start With Something Cozy!
For kids, many moms have turned Boo Baskets into a fun first-day-of-spooky-season tradition.
Start with a cute pair of Halloween pajamas, then add fuzzy socks, a Halloween book (our Ghouls Night book gives the perfect spooky cute vibes!), or something cozy for your first Halloween movie night of the season.
It's basically Christmas Eve pajamas...but make it spooky. We approve!
Add Their Favorite Halloween Treats!
Next up: CANDY!!
Add their favorite Halloween candy, popcorn, cookies, gummies, or seasonal snacks. You don't have to go overboard - a few favorite treats tucked throughout the basket make it feel instantly festive.
And naturally, we'd add a little confetti too. 🎉
Add a Fun Halloween-Themed Accessory!
This is where the basket gets extra cute.
Our Halloween claw clips make the perfect little Boo Basket filler, especially for tweens, teens, and moms. Add our Bat Headband for something they can wear to a Halloween party, pumpkin patch, school event, or while handing out candy on Halloween night.
Cute now. Wearable all October. That's a win!
Add Something They'll Actually Use!
A good gift basket should have at least one thing they'll keep long after the candy disappears.
Our novelty Halloween drink sippers are perfect for this! Pair with a juice box or drink of choice, so they have an instant-use factor, and then use it for spooky drinks, Halloween movie nights, and parties throughout the season.
You can also tuck in The Ghouls Night, our Halloween book, for a little spooky-season fun they'll come back to again and again.
Give Them an Instant Party!
Want to go BIG? Add a Halloween Party Set!
It's an especially fun idea for families because you're not just gifting them something to open - you're giving them everything they need to create their own Halloween celebration.
Add partyware, confetti, a few treats, and festive accessories, and you've basically put an entire spooky night in a basket.
Boo Basket + Halloween party = BEST. GIFT. EVER.
Don't Forget the Grown-Up Ghouls!
Who decided Boo Baskets were only for kids?!
Turn the trend into a Halloween Hostess Basket for your bestie, neighbor, teacher, mom friend, or whoever is hosting the Halloween festivities!
Skip the toys and fill yours with things they'll actually use: a cute Halloween sipper, claw clip, festive partyware, confetti, Halloween cocktail napkins, candy, and a little hosting treat. You could throw in a gift card or go the EXTRA fun route and add in everything they need for a lil festive cocktail to fill inside their sipper...think mini bottle, mini mixer, and a reason to cheers!
It's perfect to bring to a Halloween party, pumpkin-carving night, girls' night, fall dinner, or Halloween movie night instead of a traditional hostess gift!
Because kids shouldn't get to have all the spooky-season fun!!
Ready to Get BOO-ing?
Pajamas. Candy. Claw clips. Sippers. Confetti.
There's really no wrong way to build a Boo Basket - the fun is choosing little surprises you know they'll love. Make one for the kids to kick off October, surprise your bestie, or turn yours into the ultimate Halloween hostess gift.
Consider this your sign to start a new spooky-season tradition. 👻🎃🩷
