Halloween Boo Basket Ideas

Spooky Season is right around the corner and what better way to celebrate than with a Boo Basket for your kiddo(s)!? If you’re new to the term Boo Basket, don’t worry because you aren’t alone! This fun Halloween tradition involves curating a basket of goodies for your kids to open on October 1st to kick off the Halloween season! They can be as simple or as extravagant as you’d like, but they are a fun way to get your kids excited for the month of October. Gift giving is my love language so I have so much fun finding things to add to their boo baskets and it’s become a really fun tradition we look forward to as a family!


Not sure what to add to your Boo Basket? Here’s an example of the baskets I put together for our son and daughter:
