Move over, Easter baskets. Spooky baskets full of Halloween goodies are the new game in town. While some families may still be pulling back on Halloween parties or trick-or-treating due to a lack of a COVID-19 vaccine for kids under 12, spooky baskets mean they still get plenty of Halloween treats. Fill a basket with Halloween candy, Halloween toys and Halloween books, plus fun things like socks, bubbles, and and watch how excited they’ll get. (And, unlike with trick-or-treating, they might actually remember to say, “Thank you.”)
Of course, kids don’t have to have all the fun. You can certainly make these for adult friends and loved ones. In fact, many communities have a “You’ve Been ‘Booed'” tradition, where one neighbor will anonymously leave a “boo basket” on another’s porch, and then that neighbor has to create a spooky basket for someone else, and so on. It’s a combination of trick-or-treating and Secret Santa all in one, and you get a chance to showcase your creativity — wins all around. So, what are you going to put in your spooky basket this year? Take a look at some of our favorites for inspiration.
