Halloween Mugs
Jack O Lantern Mug (Similar Style)
When deciding on ideas for Halloween baskets, creating them yourself makes it more personal to the giftee and tailored to fit within your budget constraints. In this post, we'll be sharing answers to common questions and several ideas for building the perfect spooky basket, boo basket, and general Halloween gift baskets.

​What is a Boo Basket?

​Boo baskets are an anonymous, fun, and friendly game for coworkers and neighbors to surprise each other. Leave a basket on their doorstep or desk filled with Halloween treats and include a note that they have been booed so they can pass along the spirit of Halloween to their neighbors.

​What is a Spooky Basket?

​Spooky baskets are created for your significant other or crush. They are typically a mix of the person's favorite things with Halloween-inspired items.​Things to consider their favorites on tend to be food-related: drinks, candy, cookies, gum, and other snacks. There are fun and small ways to incorporate Halloween with candles, ghost stories, movies, jewelry, cozy socks, soaps, and mugs.

​What Can I Put in a Halloween Basket?
