Time to Get Your 'Boo' On

Boo-ing your friends and neighbors with a stealthily delivered spooky basket is a fun Halloween tradition that makes it easy to let someone know you're thinking about them with a gift basket, bag or bin filled with useful goodies and tasty treats. To create a personalized gift, fill your chosen container with everything they need for a fun family night at home, a boozy beverage to get them in the Halloween spirit, gardening tools or a few surprises for the furriest family member. Bonus: Our free printable tags and 'We've Been Boo-ed' sign will encourage them to keep the boo-ing fun going.

Boo #1: Family Game Night

Fill a plastic tub with a classic board game and an assortment of sweet and salty treats. Your local dollar store is a great place to find reusable containers as a handy stand-in for a standard basket and you can also pick up theater-size candies while you're there.

Bubble Wrap, FTW

So, what's the trick to creating a full gift basket without spending a fortune in colorful crinkle paper or excelsior? Just fill the bottom of your container with leftover bubble wrap or clean, used grocery bags to take up space, then arrange colorful shredded paper and the gift items on top.
