Boo Baskets for Everyone in Your Life
These last few months of the year are often referred to as “the season of giving,” and that means you have plenty of holidays - and people - to think of. As Halloween approaches and spooky season is underway, now is the time to surprise your friends with a boo basket to celebrate. The key to gifting a great boo basket, though, is in tailoring it to the recipient.
Whether your friend loves all things creepy, they’re a total homebody, or they just love a classic fall vibe, boo baskets can be personalized to each one. The best way to build a boo basket for everyone in your life is to think of the things they love the most and elevate it for fall. Whether it’s plaid pajamas and pumpkin patches or moody bedding and an even moodier film, here’s how to create a boo basket for each kind of friend.

For the Lover of All Things Witchy
Let’s start with the obvious: who’s the first friend that pops into your head when you think of boo baskets? Odds are, it’s the one obsessed with Halloween and magic. This boo basket should include classic spooky elements:
Dark colors with orange and purple accents.
Magical elements like candles and moon motifs.
Their favorite scary movies.
Considering this person probably has their Halloween costume selected 3 months in advance, it may seem hard to think of things they don’t already have. Start this boo basket with something fun and simple, like the Starry Night Striped Pillow Set, and tailor it from there.
Your spookiest friend may already have Halloween bedroom decor, but adding the Emmett Tencel Bedding Set in purple can make a bedroom feel darker and more complete. Pair this set with plenty of popcorn for scary movie nights in bed.
To bring the witchy vibes of this boo basket from dusk till dawn, add in the Black Luma Sleeveless Floral Pajama Set. Finish off the boo basket with a celestial mug for candlelit tea time or morning coffee.

For the Self-Care Guru
We all have that friend who’s ridiculously put together: perfect skin, simple wardrobe, and in bed by 9 PM each night. If you’re building a boo basket for your self-care focused friend, keep your eye on spa-style elevated essentials:
High quality bathrobes.
Elevated towel sets.
A nice set of their favorite tea.
When crafting a boo basket for a self-care guru, the goal is to make each moment of relaxation feel even more special. Start with the Quiet Evening Striped Robe Set in deep fall shades of burgundy or green and build a cozy set from there.
You can enhance your spa-themed boo basket by gifting your friend a new towel set for their skin-care routine. For a neutral option in a warm color way, add the Wavy Cotton Towel in beige. If you know their favorite skin-care product, add a refill to the boo basket for an extra thoughtful touch.
Finish off your boo basket with a gift to enhance the most important aspect of self-care: sleep. Add an Elastic Silky Eye Mask in green to match the robe and pair it with a box of your friend’s favorite evening tea - think chamomile, lavender, or elderberry - to truly nail a self-care boo basket.

For the Fan of Cozy Classics
When it comes to fall, some people are passionate about the cozy classics. They may have an old soul, an academic mind, and a nostalgic heart. A cozy fall boo basket should include:
Orange, brown, and other warm colors.
Knit textures and cozy fabrics.
Lots of plaid.
A classic fall boo basket is perfect for the friend who spends most of autumn reading mystery novels, watching cozy movies, or hanging out at the pumpkin patch.
Channel this nostalgic energy into a boo basket that will suit chilly autumn mornings and rainy fall afternoons. An essential for the classic fall friend is the Asher Fleece Throw Blanket. With warm colors, a cozy texture, and the quintessential plaid pattern, they’ll want to reach for it through every chapter.
Keeping in the theme of cozy autumn essentials, add in the Sweet Lace Red Plaid Pajama Set for a fall vibe they can wear all season long. Paired with a cute jacket for a coffee run, or worn with a pair of Modern Warm House Slippers at home, they make the perfect addition to any boo basket.

For the Autumn Romantic
Perhaps you’re planning how to create a boo basket for your girlfriend, boyfriend, or partner. Maybe you just have a friend who always feels love in the air alongside the crisp autumn chill. For this boo basket, think of romantic essentials:
Soft warm colors like rose, ivory, and delicate oranges.
Floral and lace accents.
DVDs of their favorite rom-coms.
This romantic boo basket is perfect for your friend who starts every fall with a rewatch of When Harry Met Sally and insists that pink is a fall color. Set the tone with a red Cotton Quilt With Lace Trim and prepare for a cozy fall rom-com night.
For chilly autumn nights, add the Tamsin Long Sleeved Pajama Set in a warm rosy color to this boo basket for a truly romantic feeling. For cuddling up on cool evenings, add in a nice box of hot cocoa mix. After all, what’s more romantic than chocolate?
To tie in the bedding, add in some Vintage Inspired Floral Pillowcases as a final touch. With a bed prepped for dreamy nights in, the last thing this boo basket needs is candy for a fall rom-com movie marathon.
