Last year I saw so many cute boo basket ideas circulating the internet. If you don't already know what boo baskets are, they're basically a Halloween themed gift basket.
There are so many different things you could put in a boo basket, but here are the things that most people include in theirs that you should definitely consider putting in yours!
This post is all about super cute boo basket ideas.
The Best Boo Basket Ideas
1. Cute Basket
Obviously to do a boo basket you have to get some kind of cute basket. If I were making one, I would probably go with a normal basket that they could reuse for things at any time of the year. Doing a Halloween/ fall themed basket would be really cute, too, though!
2. Cozy Fall/ Halloween Themed Blanket
This is something I've seen almost everyone include in their boo baskets. It's a staple! You can never have too many cozy blankets, and it's such a cute thing to add.
3. Fall Lip Balm Set
I saw someone put these in their basket and I was obsessed! I would go nuts if I got these fall themed lip balms in a gift basket.
4. Fall Candle
You also can't go wrong with adding some kind of fall scented candle to the basket. This one is so cute and could double as decor. It's pumpkin chai scented, which is one of my personal favorite fall scents. It smells SO good.

5. Fall Body Scrub
Body scrub is another cute fall themed item you can include in the basket! I've seen a bunch of people put this specific one in their boo baskets. I almost got it once because it smells incredible. This brand has the best body scrubs ever!
6. Cute Halloween Cup
A cute little halloween themed cup like this would also be really good to include! I love the design on this one, and I also love the fact that it's glass.
7. Plushie
A plushie is the perfect thing to add to your basket! Jellycat plushies are super popular, but you could add any fall/ Halloween themed plushie!
8. Cozy Drinks
You can also include any kind of cozy drink you think they would like! This pumpkin spice hot cocoa would be so good.

9. Fall/ Spooky Candy
Adding some fall candy or some kind of fall treats is also a must! You could do any kind of candy or treats you think they'll like.
10. Cute Mug
A Halloween/ fall mug is another thing you could add. This "witches brew" one is really cute!
11. Slippers
I've also seen a lot of people put these Halloween themed slippers in their boo baskets! They are so cute and would be perfect.
12. Fragrance
You could also add some kind of fragrance to your basket. This one is super popular and smells amazing. It'd be perfect to add to a boo basket since it's orange!

13. Cozy Socks
You can't go wrong with adding some cozy socks to any kind of gift basket. These would be really cute to add to a Halloween or fall gift basket.
14. Stanley Cup
I've also seen a lot of people recommending adding a Stanley cup to boo baskets! These cups are super popular and would be great to add to a basket, especially if you're making one for a girl.
15. Cozy Beanie
I have a carhartt beanie like this one and it is so cozy to wear in the fall. This is the perfect cozy essential to add to your basket.
16. Fall Decor
You could also add some cute little fall decor like this sherpa pumpkin!
17. Books
If the person you're making the basket for is a reader, it would be perfect to add some cozy books in there. These are the books I personally would add to a boo basket! Caraval is a really cozy and atmospheric fantasy book, and The Mountain Is You is one of my favorite self help books ever!
You can definitely personalize what books you add. A murder mystery would also be so good for fall/ Halloween!
18. Fall Body Wash
Philosophy makes the best body washes. Adding one of their fall themed body washes to your basket would be so good! This cinnamon bun one would be perfect, but they also have a pumpkin spice one that would be really good. I would've linked that one but it wasn't in stock on amazon when I looked (it might be now though)!

19. Gift Cards
You really can't go wrong with adding gift cards to any kind of gift basket! Make sure you get some that the person will definitely use. I feel like the look of this sephora gift card really goes along with the Halloween theme.
20. Under Eye Masks
Under-eye masks are a foolproof thing to add to a gift basket, and both of these would be sooo cute for a boo basket.
21. Summer Fridays Lip Balm
Like I said earlier, lip balm is a super good thing to put into any gift basket. If your basket recipient is a lip balm lover, this toasted marshmallow-flavored lip balm would be such a good thing to add.
22. Fall Snacks
I am OBSESSED with this brand of snacks. Mini flavored rice cakes doesn't sound like the yummiest thing in the world, but I swear, these are SO GOOD. Like addictive.
23. Hand Sanitizer
This brand of hand sanitizer is pricy, but coming from a frugal girly who doesn't spend money on things unless it's really worth it, it's worth it. This pack is a special ~cozy edition~ that would be insanely good for a boo basket. The scents are cranberry fizz, midnight s'mores, salted caramel, and spiced pumpkin-tini.
If I hadn't JUST bought a pack of these, I would buy this pack in a heartbeat bc the scents sound amazing.
24. Makeup
Rhode is allllll the rage these days, and this blush would be aesthetically perfect to add to a boo basket for a makeup lover.
25. Dessert Tea
This would be the PERFECT thing to add to a tea-lover's boo basket (coming from someone who is obsessed with tea).
There's been a big trend about dessert tea on TikTok, and this brand is said to have some of the best teas (which I can personally attest to). I got the s'mores tea after seeing it recommended so many times on TikTok, and it is actually insane how much it tastes like s'mores. The pumpkin pie chai is next on my list to get!
