Inside: Halloween Boo Baskets can be a fun and simple way to get your teen into the Halloween spirit. Here are tons of fun ideas for filling their boo basket with tricks and treats they are sure to enjoy!

Although some teens make it last longer than others, usually at some point in high school trick-or-treating becomes one more part of childhood that gets left behind. But just because your teen has outgrown trick-or-treating doesn’t mean they can’t get in on the Halloween fun! Boo baskets are the perfect way to surprise them with a spooky treat.

But what exactly is a boo basket? Think of it as a mini Halloween gift basket filled with goodies like candy, snacks, small gifts, and themed items like socks, candles, or even a fun Halloween t-shirt. These can also be a great idea for a care package if you have a college student.

For teens (or your college kids), you can personalize a boo basket with things they actually love—whether it’s their favorite candy, skincare products, cozy accessories, or even gift cards. It’s a fun way to celebrate the season and remind them that no one is ever “too old” to enjoy a few Halloween tricks and treats. Whether they share the basket with friends or keep it all for themselves, it’s a thoughtful and festive way to spread Halloween cheer!
