One of the best ways to celebrate Halloween is putting together a “Spooky Basket” or “Boo Basket” exchange. These personalized baskets including Halloween and Fall-themed goodies are guaranteed to welcome everyone into the Fall festivities!

Here’s just a few ideas to start your “Boo Basket” + scroll through to enter into our latest giveaway to win a $25 Target gift card to build your very own “Spooky Basket!”

Yummy Halloween Candy
Every spooky basket needs some candy. Luckily, the well-loved chocolatey sweets transform into bats, ghosts, and pumpkins around October. Some brands even release special limited-edition flavors like KIT KAT cinnamon - flavored "Ghost Toast" or Reese's "Werewolf Tracks," a tasty mix of milk and white chocolate.



Cozy Blanket to Cuddle With
A cozy blanket is a must-have in any spooky basket! Not only does it keep you warm and snug, but it also doubles as the perfect Halloween decor. Simply drape it over a couch, bed, or chair to add a festive touch.



The Perfect Fall Book
A good book is sure to get anyone in the Fall mood. This is where you’d have to decide what kind of spooky basket you’re making. Will you choose a romantic seasonal novel or a psychological thriller?



Fall-Scents For Your Home
Appealing to the senses is key, so don't forget to include a Fall-scented candle or room spray. The warm and cozy scent will allow them to fully immerse in the Fall atmosphere, setting the perfect mood to curl up and enjoy that book we mentioned earlier!



Delicious Coffee to Sip On 
Whether the person receiving your spooky basket is a coffee lover or not, a festive themed mug is always a hit! In addition to the mug, you could add a flavored k-cup, nespresso pod, ground coffee or even some hot chocolate mix.

Keeping a theme for your spooky basket will tie everything together. Be sure you include some personalized items like their favorite style of blanket or drink. After this, everyone will want to have a spooky basket exchange with you!

I made boo bags for a few coworkers. I love giving people blankets. So they got candy, a blanket, perfumes, and a little ring like kids would get in birthday gift bags. I just did the ame for other people for Christmas. They got a coloring book or word search, candy, blanket, perfumes. Nothing big but thy appreciated it.

I just love the whole idea of the boo basket! The cover and the spray/candle is my favorite. Creating a relaxing moment from the hustle and bustle of the holidays.

I’m late but still wanted to get my opinion in. My favorite “Boo Basket” item would have to be the Fall-scented candle or room spray. To me your home has to smell like the season you are trying to capture the image of , it’s odd going into a home decorated for fall but still smell tropical. Same for going into a spring or summer decorated home and smelling pumpkin spice. Yea , go ahead and give hints that the scents need to change along with the decor by adding Fall-scented candle or room spray to it 👍🏼😊.

My favorite boo basket item listed is a cozy blanket. I love to snuggle up on the couch with a cozy blanket and watch some fall classic movies. If it’s cold enough, I’ll grab some hot chocolate and that’s my version of a perfect night

I would choose the perfect fall book! I love reading and it's such a nice way to relax. I think I would choose a psychological thriller!
