Understanding Boo Baskets: What They Are and How to Create Your Own

As the colder weather prompts us to bring out our sweatshirts and pumpkin spice lattes, it also marks the beginning of cuffing season. Why not treat your crush with a unique Boo Basket?

Fall dating, or cuffing season, is when singles start searching for romance to last through the chilly months.

This interesting season usually spans from October to March, with Halloween being the starting point for many relationships.

Recently, TikTok has revealed the ideal gift to charm your love this spooky season: “Boo Baskets.”

What is a Boo Basket?

Boo Baskets, originally focused on Halloween rather than dating, can be seen as the spooky alternative to Easter baskets.

These baskets are filled with Halloween and fall-themed treats, making them a fun way to surprise friends, neighbors, and children. Once someone has been “Boo’d,” it’s their turn to continue the tradition.

However, TikTok has added a romantic twist to this concept. With a hashtag accumulating over 541 million views, Boo Baskets are now viewed as the ideal heartfelt surprise for that special someone in your life.

So, whether you want to impress a current partner or spark interest with someone new, here’s how to create your own Boo Basket this fall.

How to make a Boo Basket

Creating a Boo Basket allows you the freedom to personalize items based on your giftee’s preferences. If you’re unsure where to start, follow these simple steps:

Step 1. Choose a container: Technically, a bucket or bag works just as well as a basket — any holder will suffice. You can decorate it to match the seasonal theme.

Step 2. Fill your basket: Decide on a theme for your basket, ensuring it aligns with Halloween or fall. Common items to include are:

Cozy Halloween-themed blankets
Scented candles (Pumpkin spice, anyone?)
Drink holders or tumblers
Plush toys
Comfortable seasonal pajamas
Your giftee’s favorite sweets and treats
Ugg boots
A personalized note wishing your giftee a spooktacular season
