Cute Halloween Boo Basket Ideas for your Bestie (or Teen Daughter!)

There’s just something so fun about surprising someone you love with a cute little seasonal gift, isn’t there? And if you’re looking for a simple, budget-friendly way to make your girlfriend, sister, or teen daughter smile this Halloween, a Boo Basket is the way to go.

Think of it as a cozy little bundle of October magic — a mix of cute, cozy, and sweet things that instantly make someone feel special! Whether you’re celebrating spooky season together, or dropping it off as a little “thinking of you” surprise, this Halloween boo basket idea is easy to put together and totally customizable!

🧺 The Basket Itself

Start with a cute woven basket or reusable bin (like this one!). It’s simple, stylish, and doubles as storage later — win-win. Fill it with some tissue paper or shredded paper to give your goodies a cozy base to sit in.

🎃 The Fun Fillers

Now for the fun part — the goodies! Here’s what I included in mine (and I’ll link each one below so you can easily shop for your own):

• Hello Happy Towels "Mini Pumpkins" Print Towel – Of course, no cozy gift basket is complete without one of my favorite waffle weave towels! This one adds the perfect pop of orange and happy fall vibes. Perfect for using in her bathroom (and not just the kitchen).

• Ghost Mug – Because sipping hot cocoa or a pumpkin spice latte out of a smiling pink ghost mug is basically self-care.

• Pumpkin Glass Tumbler – This one is so cute for apple cider, smoothies, or even milk with a dash of cinnamon.

• Fuzzy Socks – Add a few pairs of warm, patterned socks in fall colors. Cozy toes = happy heart.

• Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers – A fun little candy treat to keep it playful (and delicious).

• Mini Notebook – I designed this adorable “Magic Notes” notebook — perfect for jotting down fall bucket lists, thoughts, or doodles!

• Lip Balm + Body Mist – A couple of small beauty finds like an e.l.f. lip balm or caramel-scented body mist adds that little touch of luxury. Every girl loves that.

• Cute Keychains or Earrings – Bonus if they’re Halloween-themed! Ghosts, pumpkins, bats — all welcome and add to the overall vibe/theme of your basket!

👻 Make It Personal

You can totally personalize your boo basket depending on who it’s for! For your girlfriend, add a sweet handwritten note or something sentimental like a Polaroid photo. For your teen daughter or bestie, add some fun Halloween jewelry, nail polish, or a face mask for a self-care night.

💌 Wrap It Up

Once everything’s nestled in your basket, wrap it in clear cellophane or just tie it off with a big orange or black ribbon. Instant cute factor. Spoiler alert: I'm actually really bad about doing this part, but feel like it totally pulls it all together!

Psst! I designed 9 Halloween themed gift tags you can add to top it off as well-and they're a free digital download, here!

Halloween doesn’t have to be all about the scary — it can be sweet, cozy, and thoughtful, too. This Boo Basket is the perfect way to say, “I’m thinking of you,” while celebrating the most magical season of the year. 🎃🕸️

So grab a basket, a few favorite fall goodies, and have fun creating your own version!
