Hey Besties!
If you’ve been on Pinterest lately, you’ve probably seen boo baskets all over your feed. These cozy, thoughtful Halloween baskets are the cutest way to surprise your boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, or even yourself. So I wanted to share all the details here—plus more spooky basket ideas you can shop directly on Amazon.
Whether you’re looking for mens boo basket ideas, cute boo basket ideas for your best friend, or even a cozy self-care version for yourself, I’ve got you covered with inspiration for every type of gift.
What Is a Boo Basket?
A boo basket is basically a fall-themed gift basket filled with cozy, spooky, or sweet items. Think: Halloween slippers, pumpkin mugs, fall candles, candy, skincare, and little seasonal treats.
- They’ve become a huge trend because they’re:
- Easy to customize for anyone (boyfriend, girlfriend, kids, friends)
- Affordable (you can make one under $50!)
- Totally Pinterest-worthy!


Boo Basket Ideas (Step by Step)
1. Pick a Basket
The base of your Halloween basket sets the vibe. I love woven baskets because they double as storage.
2. Add Something Cozy
Every boo basket needs something warm and snuggly.
3. Choose a Festive Cup or Mug
This is where you can get creative! Fill with candy or use it as the basket’s “centerpiece.”
4. Include a Plush or Pillow
Perfect for cute boo basket ideas for best friends or kids.
5. Add Slippers or Self-Care
This is my favorite part—you can go cozy or fragrant.
6. Toss in Candy + Extras
No boo basket idea is complete without sweets or seasonal goodies.

Why Boo Baskets Are the Perfect Fall Gift?
The reason boo baskets blew up on Pinterest (and why my viral boo basket pin hit over 100k searches) is because they’re affordable, aesthetic, and super thoughtful. They’re basically the modern version of a spooky gift basket—fun to make, fun to give, and fun to receive.
And the best part? Everything I used to create these is from Amazon, so it’s fast shipping + budget-friendly.
