Halloween isn’t just for kids anymore. One of the cutest seasonal trends popping up on Pinterest and TikTok right now is the boo basket — a themed gift basket filled with little treats, cozy items, and festive goodies. While most people make them for kids, I’m here to tell you that grown-up boo baskets are the chic, playful way to spread seasonal magic to the women in your life — your girlfriends, moms, and even your co-workers.

Think of them like a mini self-care basket with a Halloween twist. Instead of just candy and toys, these baskets are styled, thoughtful, and filled with cozy luxuries that make the season feel special. Whether you’re putting one together for your bestie, your mom, or your office crew, here are 17 chic and creative boo basket ideas to inspire you.

🎁 What Is a Boo Basket?

A boo basket is simply a Halloween-inspired gift basket that you give to someone you love during spooky season. They usually include candy, festive décor, or little self-care gifts — all arranged in a cute seasonal basket. Traditionally, they were made for kids, but more and more women are creating them for friends, moms, and even co-workers as a way to bring cozy, thoughtful fun into October.

🎃 Why You Should Give a Boo Basket

Boo baskets aren’t just cute and festive — they’re a thoughtful way to show the people in your life that you appreciate them. Whether it’s a small gesture of love or a seasonal surprise, gifting a boo basket is a sweet reminder that you’re thinking of them.

Here are some perfect people in your life who would love to receive one:

• Your Girlfriend/Best Friend → She’s always there for you, and a bestie boo basket is a fun way to spoil her with seasonal treats, cozy self-care items, and a little Halloween magic.

• Your Mom → Moms do so much year-round. A boo basket filled with relaxing goodies is a simple way to remind her to slow down and enjoy the season.

• Your Sister → Celebrate sisterhood with a playful, chic basket — think matching mugs, fun candles, or even a bottle of wine to share.

• Your Co-Workers → The office can feel extra stressful in the fall. A boo basket filled with desk-friendly treats is a morale booster and a thoughtful touch.

• Your Nanny or Babysitter → Show your gratitude for the extra hands that make your life easier. A boo basket is a festive way to say thank you.

• Your Child’s Teacher → Teachers put in so much energy this time of year. A boo basket is a sweet seasonal pick-me-up with snacks, coffee, or little classroom essentials.

• Neighbors → A chic boo basket is a charming way to spread community spirit and connect with the people living nearby.

Think of it as sprinkling little bits of joy around your circle — it’s a seasonal tradition that’s just as fun to give as it is to receive.

🎃 What to Put in a Boo Basket for Women

When creating a chic Halloween boo basket for girlfriends, moms, or co-workers, mix fun seasonal touches with thoughtful little luxuries. Here are some ideas you can include:

How to put together the ultimate DIY gift basket (20+ creative gift basket ideas)

Have you watched the latest season of Selling Sunset? I’ve already seen it twice. I love watching for the fashion, the real estate and the exotic places they travel to. This season, one thing I loved was that the girls love language, was gift baskets.

Like when Chrishell was post surgery and Emma brought her a thoughtful self care gift basket. Or when Chrishell went to visit Mary and gave her a housewarming gift basket.

Ladies, I took notes. I love to put together gift baskets but I haven’t done one in a really long time. Watching these girls give baskets to each other completely inspired me to make gift baskets my gifting theme for this holiday.

Giving a well thought out gift basket really is the ultimate way to give someone you love a gift that speaks right to the heart. You can create something so special that really speaks to the persons interests.

I once gave a boyfriend a gift basket of all his favorite snacks, candies and hangover medicine after a long guy weekend when he came home. He raved about the basket and would tell his friends about it every chance he got. Specialized and thoughtful gift baskets are always a winning idea!

So I’ve put together some ideas to help you put together a gift basket that will make you the most popular person in your office, group of friends or family.
