Growing up, one of my favorite fall traditions was making boo baskets for friends. There was something so special about putting together little surprises and kicking off the month of Halloween! Somewhere along the way, life got busy and that tradition faded, but I think it’s time we bring it back!
This year, I decided to create a little adult-friendly boo basket, and I’m honestly obsessed with how it turned out. I started with a Stanley (because who doesn’t want a new water bottle?) and tied on an adorable initial keychain for an extra personal touch. Then I filled it with a few of my seasonal favorites:
🍁 A matching phone case
🍁 A Starbucks gift card (because cozy drinks are a must)
🍁 A mini autumn-scented candle
🍁 My go-to Burt’s Bees lip balm
🍁 The best hand sanitizer spray I’ve ever used
It’s such a simple way to show a friend you’re thinking of them—and who wouldn’t love receiving a little basket of fall goodness?
Whether you’re surprising a co-worker, best friend, or even yourself (no shame), a grown-up boo basket is a fun, thoughtful way to celebrate the season.
