What is a Boo Basket?

If you’ve been anywhere near TikTok or Instagram lately, you’ll know that Halloween isn’t just about pumpkins, costumes and sweets anymore. Enter the Boo Basket – a gorgeously spooky little bundle of treats that’s been haunting social feeds from the US all the way across the pond to us here in the UK.

Think of it as a Halloween hug in a hamper: a mix of cosy autumnal goodies and frightfully fun Halloween treats, gifted to loved ones on 1st October to kick off spooky season with a smile (or a shriek!). 👻

What goes in a Boo Basket?

The beauty of a Boo Basket is that there are no rules. You can make them autumnal and cosy with blankets, mugs and candles, or lean into full‑on fright night with spooky decorations, sweets and crafts. Here are some fang‑tastic ideas inspired by our Halloween gift range:

For the Cosy Autumn Vibes:

• A hot chocolate stirrer (perfect with marshmallows on top).
• A pair of fluffy socks.
• Something sweet, like our Cocktail Gummies – a grown‑up treat with a ghoulish twist.
• A seasonal candle to make your home smell seasonal.

For the Spooky Season Enthusiast:

• Giant Monsters & Ghosts Colouring Poster – fun for kids (and secretly quite fun for adults, too).
• A Personalised Halloween Tote Bag – ideal for trick‑or‑treating or stashing sweets.
• Halloween Personalised Hot Chocolate Enamel Mug – A spooky mug for your Halloween hot chocolate.
• Tony’s Chocolonely Littl’ Bits 100g – a little chocolate treat.

Boo Basket Ideas by Recipient

Boo Basket For Her

We’d always recommend starting with a budget, it’s easy to let it run away from you when buying gifts for others.

Build her the ultimate cosy night in. Think candles, fluffy socks, and her favourite chocolates. Add in a personalised enamel mug, and maybe tuck in a bath treat for a little seasonal self‑care.

Pick the right basket! Hampers, boxes, and even a gift bag will do. Ensure that whatever you pick, has enough space for what you have planned. Extra points if you pop everything in one of our Personalised Halloween Boxes so she gets that gorgeous gift‑unwrapping moment.

The spookier, the better!

Step 3: Personalise It

One of the best parts of Boo Baskets is making them unique. Add a handwritten note or card explaining the tradition, especially if the recipient hasn’t been “Booed” before. Include a sign that says “You’ve Been Booed!” to officially start the fun.

For kids, tuck in a few Halloween jokes or riddles for an extra giggle. For adults, consider adding their favourite seasonal drink mix, a cosy candle, or even a spooky playlist suggestion to set the mood.

You can also choose one of our personalised gift boxes, add a name and message of your choice and let us do the rest.
