Halloween is a perfect time to celebrate your boo! Whether it’s a partner or your bestie, making them a spooky fall basket is a great way to show them how much you love them. Filling a basket with all their favorite things is a personal gift and will make them feel so loved. Coordinate everything in the basket to be a specific theme or color for extra vibes and an added wow factor.
This is how to make the perfect pumpkin-themed spooky basket, with a single trip to Target:
Start with the basket (bonus point if it can be used as decor or storage later)! This jack-o-lantern comes in four colors, orange, pink, blue, and teal, to match whatever the aesthetic of your basket is.
For some cozy fall vibes, add a soft pumpkin blanket and as your boo cuddles up in the spooky weather, they will think of you and feel wrapped in love. Then, add a pumpkin-shaped candle so they are surrounded by fall scents and warmth.
Add some Hocus Pocus to the basket by adding witchy vibes with a DVD of a Halloween movie. For such a witchy bestie, add a cauldron mug, which is perfect for brewing all of the pumpkin spice drinks or warm apple cider. For your boo, add a cute mug that reminds them how cute they are. Add a box of pumpkin spice chai or pumpkin spice hot chocolate and mini marshmallows to give your boo a warm drink to curl up with during their movie.
And of course, it’s not a movie without snacks! Add their favorite candy to the bottom of the basket as a little extra surprise when they open their basket. These pumpkin spice wafer cookies and orange Oreos for a sweet treat in the fall basket. Try to be extra personal and creative and bake cookies for the basket, wrapping them in a fun festive tin or tupperware.
Then add some beauty finds to keep their style fall festive! Add a bath bomb, lotion, or some bubble bath so that a relaxing spa moment can happen. A fun addition to gift baskets in nail polish in a matching shade, like Essie’s “Make No Concessions.”
Remember to make your basket personal and full of love. This is a great way to show your boo or witchy bestie how important they are to you. Happy haunting Seawolves!
