We might be already familiar with spooky baskets, but if you didn’t know, spooky baskets are basically like gift baskets but Halloween-themed. Kind of like a spooky easter basket, but just straight-up Halloween. We often see it done in romantic relationships on social media. Yet, friends are basically like your platonic romantic relationship. Here are some examples of what to get for yourself, your friends, or your boo! Hehe, see what I did there. Anyways, here are my recommendations.

  1. A plushie that reminds you of them

If they are angry all the time, get them a plushie of an angry dog.

2. Their favorite cookies

Do your friends like Chips Ahoy chewy or crunchy edition?

3. A water bottle 

Hydration is key to friendships. 

4. Something you think they need

If you think they need a steamer, get it. If they don’t iron their clothes as an adult, get an iron. If they talk too much, get the tape. Simple as that.

5. Pajamas

I feel like no one buys pajamas for themselves. Why not give it to someone who makes you feel cozy like soft pajamas? 

Spooky baskets are another reason to fulfill your love language of gift-giving. As someone with this love language, I love making gifts as personable as they can be for someone I love. There’s a difference between getting a gift you think someone might like, versus a gift that reflects them in some way. It makes the overall experience better when you make the gift fun and about them.
