Halloween Boo Basket

Family traditions are a lot of fun and it’s important to me to create these memories with our kids. So… we started a new one! We put together boo baskets to give to our neighbors as a way to spark Halloween spirit and spread cheer!

With a goal to spend $10-$15 per basket, we shopped Dollar Tree for a majority of the items then hit up Target’s Dollar Spot for a few final things.

What’s a Boo Basket?

It’s a collection of candy, snacks and small activities that you leave on the doorstep of two neighbors. Think of it like Secret Santa. The idea is that the families receiving the baskets will pay it forward and “boo” more neighbors.
