A Boo Basket is a fun Halloween tradition where you secretly leave a basket full of goodies on your neighbor’s porch, and then they pay it forward. The contents of your Boo Basket can be tailored to whoever you’re giving it to, and there are many ideas to choose from. Here are some items you can include in a Boo Basket:
-
Candy and treats: Halloween-themed candy, chocolates, and other sweet treats are a must-have in a Boo Basket.
-
Crafts and activities: Kids might like Halloween-themed craft activities and coloring books.
-
Cozy items: Fall or Halloween-themed socks, pajamas, blankets, or scarves are great options to welcome the Fall season and celebrate this time of year.
-
Books: Fall or Halloween-themed books for toddlers or older kids.
-
Toys: Halloween toys, puzzles, balloons, and glow sticks are great options for kids.
-
Personal care items: Face masks, body scrubs, bubble bath, nail polish, and other personal care items are great for adults.
-
Alcohol: A Booze Basket with a festive drink recipe, a bottle of alcohol, mixers, spooky goblets, and snacks is a great option for adults.
-
Homemade treats: Homemade treats like baked goods, smoked cheese, and crackers can add a personal touch to your Boo Basket.

Whimsical items: Halloween pennant flags, tags, and soft plushies are perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to your Boo Basket.
Remember, the contents of your Boo Basket can be tailored to whoever you’re giving it to, and it’s up to you whether you go low-key or totally over the top. Your neighbor will appreciate the kind gesture either way!
