Putting together a boo basket for your girlfriend, wife, sister or best friend? Start with a few things she already loves: her favourite chocolate, something cozy to do and a plan you can enjoy together. Add a Halloween detail or two, and you’re done.

These boo basket ideas for her mix little treats with activities to look forward to throughout fall. Choose the ones that feel most like her; you don’t need to include everything.

1. Fall activities to do together

Fall activity tickets in a clear Bucket List Adventures gift box, with baking, apple picking and pumpkin carving ideas.

Give her a few plans to look forward to, like apple picking, pumpkin carving, a baking afternoon or a board game night.

Our Fall Activity Coupons Gift Box includes 12 tickets: nine with activities already written on them and three blank ones for your own ideas. Use a blank ticket for breakfast at her favourite café, a movie night or a fall walk with coffee.

Tuck the box into her basket and let her pick what you’ll do first. It’s a gift you can keep enjoying together after Halloween.

2. A Halloween tumbler

Cream Halloween tumbler with white ghosts, brown bows, a handle and straw.

A ghost tumbler adds a little Halloween to her everyday routine. Pair it with a drink she likes, or tuck a few wrapped treats beside it in the basket.

This one has a handle and a ghost design that fits right in with the rest of the gifts.

3. Something cozy to make or colour

Autumn embroidery kit featuring a woodland cabin, colourful leaves and sewing supplies.

Spooky Cozy colouring book by Amelia Green, with two ghosts beside a fireplace on the cover.

Choose a craft she’d enjoy on an evening at home. An autumn embroidery kit works well for someone who likes making things. If she’d rather reach for her colouring pencils, the Spooky Cozy colouring book is another option.

Pick whichever suits her, then add a snack and you’ve got the start of a cozy night in.

4. Her favourite candy or chocolate

This is the easy part: choose something you know she likes. It could be Ferrero Rocher, sour candy, a favourite chocolate bar or a few treats from a local shop.

The packaging doesn’t have to be Halloween themed. Her usual favourite will fit right in.

5. A basket she can reuse

Cream rectangular woven rope basket with brown handle details.

A woven basket becomes part of the gift. After Halloween, she can use it for books, craft supplies or other little things around the house.

Choose the size around the gifts you’re adding. A smaller basket filled with a few thoughtful things can look lovely without lots of extras.

6. A ghost gift tag with a note

Pack of mini white ghost gift tags on pink backing from Curated For You.

Finish with a little message just for her. Try “For our next cozy night in” or “A few of your favourite things.”

Our mini ghost gift tags come in a set of 10, with room on the back for a name or short note. Attach one to the basket handle or tuck it beside the gifts.

The finishing touch: crinkle paper

A little crinkle paper helps fill the gaps and keeps smaller gifts visible. Start with a layer in the bottom, place taller items at the back and tuck the chocolate and gift tag toward the front.
