Boo-Basket Q&A:
What Is A Halloween Boo Basket?
You may be asking yourself what a Halloween basket is. As I mentioned above, it’s similar to an easter basket. Essentially, it’s just a basket you can fill with Halloween goodies for your kids, significant other, neighbors, friends, family, etc. It is really up to you. The point is to make it Hallowen themed, and you can fill it up with goodies depending on who you are giving it to.
What Does A Boo Basket Contain?
There are no specific items that go into a boo basket; you can fill it up with whatever you want. Above, I shared some ideas of items you can add to your boo baskets, but it mostly depends on who you are gifting it to and your budget.
How To Make The Perfect Boo Basket?
Wondering how to make the perfect boo basket? As much as I love gifting, I do not like gifting items I know will only create clutter in that person’s life. That said, consider including practical items that they can eat. For example, add the favorite snacks and candy. You can include items you know they will definitely use. Follow these tips, and you will be on your way to making the perfect boo-basket!
