A fluffy blanket or socks

Her favourite fall drink
Pumpkin spice coffee, chai, cider or hot chocolate.
A Halloween candle
Pumpkin, apple or cinnamon.
Face masks and a cosy night-in kit
Spooky-themed sheet masks are easy to find.
A scary (or not-so-scary) movie
With popcorn and her favourite candy.
A cute mug
Ghost, bat or pumpkin.
Fall nail polish or a lip balm
Small and useful.
A book
A cosy mystery or gothic novel.
A pumpkin-patch or apple-picking date
Write it on a card as a voucher.
A handwritten note
Three things you love about her.
Fresh flowers in orange and black
Or a mini pumpkin she can keep.
Tip: Tie the basket together with one thing only you could give — the date you met, your first Halloween, a shared joke.
Questions
What should I put in my girlfriend’s boo basket?
Something cosy, her favourite treats, a fall drink, a movie-night element and one personal keepsake like a star map of your first date.
Are boo baskets just for girlfriends?
No — friends, kids, partners and coworkers all swap them. For partners they tend to be more personal.
What is a unique boo basket idea?
Build it around your story: a star map of the night you met, a date-night kit, and a note about your first Halloween.
