I love Halloween and the spooky season. Give me pumpkin spice everything, fall leaves and cozy scarves! So when I saw boo baskets trending on TikTok, I knew I had to make one for my boo!
It’s not too late to make one of your own, especially if you live in a place with rapid transit.
What are breast baskets?
Boo baskets are kind of like an Easter basket, but with a theme. Or, rather, fall and Halloween themed. Most people have tipped their partners to make them one and there are some cute ones out there!
What should you put in a boo basket?
Really, you can put everything in one! But here is my cheap “recipe”.
Shopping Cart
You will need a basket (or container) large enough to hold all your goodies. They have Halloween themed baskets there, but if you have something at home that you use to hold blankets or a large bowl, that will work too. Bonus points if your person is obsessed with ceramics and you get them a giant ceramic plate or bowl!
Comfortable item
It’s not autumn if it’s not cozy! You want to find something warm and fuzzy that will remind you of your partner when wrapped up in them, like a super soft blanket, hoodie, sweatshirt, or scarf. It doesn’t technically have to be fall or Halloween themed, but that’s what the basket is, so I say go all out and get the seasonal stuff. When else will your partner get a hoodie proclaiming his love for pumpkin spice?
TOUR
Fall is all about hot drinks and you can’t have hot drinks without a mug. There are so many cute Halloween mugs out there and many of them are affordable too. Check out the list below for ideas. If your ink doesn’t do the hot drink thing, you can always get them a Halloween themed mug for regular drinks.
beverages
A drink mix for the cup. Think pumpkin spice, tea, apple cider, that sort of thing. Alternatively, if your pup doesn’t like hot drinks, you can get a spiced spirit like cinnamon whiskey or a fall themed cocktail mixer.
Treats
This is the best part of a boo basket, in my humble opinion! It’s basically like you’re doing cheats for your boot. There are so many Halloween and fall themed foods out there. Visit a destination or book online. Make sure you get things that your boot likes. You know their favorite foods, right!?
Plush
A soft plush is perfect for a boo basket. If you want bonus points, the hot teddies are now Jellycats. Squishmallows are gone so don’t even go there. Choose the perfect Jellycat and your paint will be over the moon.
note – a boo basket is nothing without a cute note from you. A handwritten note is everything. There are tons of cute Halloween themed cards out there too!

How do I make boo baskets look nice?
- Make sure you get a basket big enough for everything to fit inside. Use the comfort item (scarf, hood, blanket) to line the basket.
- Remove any outer packaging: obviously if you’ve ordered items online, remove them from the box and remove any protective plastic wrap. Don’t cut off any tags, though, just in case.
- Carefully arrange everything in the basket. Larger items go in the back and smaller items go in the front.
That’s it! I hope you get a change to make a boo basket because it will make your partner happy and put you in a spooky Halloween mood!
