We love the concept of a “boo basket” for Halloween, and we’re not alone, since they’ve gone viral on TikTok — people are assembling boo baskets for their kids, their significant others, even their pets! If you’re curious about the boo basket trend, need some boo basket ideas of your own, or just want to celebrate Halloween in allllll the ways, read on.

What Is a Boo Basket?

Though it’s since been extended to include adults (and why shouldn’t it?!), the boo basket was originally thought up as a Halloween-themed surprise for the kiddos. Along the lines of Easter baskets and Christmas stockings, boo baskets are a collection of little, inexpensive treats and trinkets guaranteed to put a smile on a kid’s face. They’re perfect for kids who are sick or hospitalized and can’t go trick-or-treating, kids whose parents would rather give them a boo basket than a bucket full of candy, or kids who just can’t wait for Halloween (can you blame them? We can’t wait either!).

What Goes in a Boo Basket?

There’s no limit to the types of goodies you can stuff into a boo basket — silicone Halloween teethers and pumpkin PJs for babies who are too little for tricks and treats, Halloween craft kits and DIY project books for creative kiddos (with willing parents), even witchy wineglasses and glow-boosting pumpkin face masks for the more … mature Halloween aficionados. We’ve found plenty of cute boo basket ideas sure to conjure up that festive feeling!

Everybody likes fun surprises, so why not pack one up for someone you love — from tots to teens to everyone in between? We’ve made it easy by curating a collection of some potential boo basket stuffers for kids that caught our attention. They’re delightful, inexpensive, and a fun way to celebrate spooky season. Now that’s a boo-tiful thing!
