What is a ‘boo basket’?
A ‘boo basket’ is simply a Halloween-themed gift basket that you can make up yourself to give to others. Boo baskets first became a trend on TikTok and have become a popular gift idea for Halloween time. You may have heard of their sister Christmas trend ‘burr baskets’ which are Christmas themed gift baskets.
Why is it called a ‘boo basket’?
The name ‘boo basket’ has a double meaning to it. One meaning of the name is that since it is a Halloween-themed gift basket, it is named after a typical phrase used on Halloween night ‘boo’. The second meaning of the name is that the basket can be for your ‘‘boo”, although people can give a boo basket to anyone in their life really.
What should you put in a boo basket?
You can put any gift you want in a boo basket, although the gifts are typically Halloween related. Some popular gifts that people often include in a boo basket include teddies, sweets, self-care products (such as face masks or bath bombs) and mugs.
