What is a Boo Basket?
A boo basket is a Halloween-themed surprise gift basket, and a really fun way to celebrate the season.
They are typically filled with treats and Halloween gifts for friends, neighbours and children; and are essentially the October equivalent of an Easter basket.
This year, TikTok has put its own spin on the trend, with a hashtag that has over 541 million views and rising, that a boo basket is an ideal present for the special someone in your life.

First off, you need to select a basket.
This could be something you already have at home, like a wicker hamper, Trick or Treat bucket or storage box.
Or you could just use a gift bag in a suitable colour – black or orange would be ideal.
Next, you need to fill your basket.

You could pick Autumn themed goodies or Halloween decorations, or you could mix up the two.
The main aim is to include items that will give your recipient that warm and cosy feel, but perhaps with a spooky twist.
If it’s for your significant other, you could add a bottle of their favourite tipple, or some mini bottles and mixers.

Autumn wouldn’t be complete without pimping up your sofa or favourite armchair with seasonal cushions so therefore they’re a perfect addition to a boo basket.
Hot beverages, whether you’re a pumpkin spiced latte, cosy hot chocolate or traditional British cup of tea kind of person, are a must for the colder months.
Everyone loves a brand new mug as well, so they’re a great addition, whatever the age of the recipient. This pumpkin spice enamel mug from Wicker Hearts is a great affordable inclusion.
Perfect for wrapping yourself in while you snuggle on the sofa for a seasonal film, curl up with your book or enjoy Strictly, a blanket is an essential for autumn.
It’s ideal for bulking out your boo basket and we’re sure the recipient will be oh so thankful.
