If you’re scratching your head, wondering how you’re gonna make a boo basket and what to even include then this guide will help you figure it all out! But first, let’s go over the basics of making a boo basket for her. 

How to make a boo basket for her 

1. Get a basket 

Without a basket, there’s no boo basket (duh)! So, make sure you get a basket that can fit all of your gifts inside. Since it’s spooky season, a Halloween-themed basket would be an excellent choice! 

2. Add a cozy item

Spooky season is also fall season, so make sure to add a cozy item that your boo can use throughout the fall months. You’ll see some examples of cozy items throughout this post, but the go to cozy items are blankets and plushies. 

3. Add snacks and candy 

Halloween means treats and treats can cover a range of different snacks and candies for your boo to eat. You can’t have a boo basket without candy so adding them is a no brainer! If she has a specific type of candy that she loves, make sure to include it in her boo basket! 

4. Include Halloween/fall-themed gifts

It can’t be a boo basket without gifts that relate to the season! There are so many Halloween and fall-themed gifts you can include, whether it’s something as cute as a pumpkin mug or as gory as blood bag liquid candy! 

15 Boo Basket Ideas for Her

Now that we’ve covered how to make a boo basket for her, you’re probably looking for specific ideas for what to actually include! Here are 10 ideas you can take inspiration from to make your boo basket for her special! 

1. Blanket

A blanket is a cozy item to put in your boo basket for her. The fall season is the time to get cozy, so you really can’t go wrong with a blanket. Consider getting a blanket in her favorite color or even a Halloween-themed blanket.

A blanket may sound basic, but if you make the choice of a blanket specific to her, she’ll appreciate it! Plus, there are many situations where a blanket is needed (e.g., reading, movie night, taking a nap), so she’ll definitely make use of it! 

2. Coffee mug

Spooky season is the time for pumpkin-spiked lattes, maple lattes, and all those delicious fall coffee drinks. So, adding a coffee mug to your boo basket for her is perfect for the occasion.

Again, a coffee mug might sound basic, but when you make the choice of a coffee mug specific to her, it’s much more personal. For example, if she loves pumpkins, get her a pumpkin-shaped mug, or if she likes The Nightmare Before Christmas, get her a Jack Skellington mug!

There are so many different coffee mug designs out there, so you’re bound to find one that’s perfect to put in your boo basket for her. 

3. Candle

One thing about women is that we love candles. So adding a candle in your boo basket for her is a given. You could either choose a scent that she loves (even if it’s not necessarily a “fall” scented candle) or one that matches the fall season.

If you’re going for a fall scented candle, here are some scents to look out for: Cinnamon, Pumpkin spice, cranberry, and red apple. 

4. Plushie

Another cozy item idea to add in your boo basket for her is a plushie. They’re so cute and as much as your boo probably loves cuddling up with you, she’ll probably like to cuddle up with her plushies too!

If you’re hesitating on this gift idea, remember that no one can ever be too old for a plushie! And, of course, if you can find a plushie that’s Halloween-themed, then that’s even better!

5. Lip care set

During the fall season, the weather drops which means your boo would need skincare products suitable for her to use during this seasonal change.

One common issue that many people go through during the fall season is dry lips. So, make sure to pack a lip care set, such as Burts Bees or NIVEA, so that your boo doesn’t run out of the lip products she needs. 

6. Blind Box

If you have TikTok, you’ve probably seen the current blind boxes craze, where people have built many collections of different types of trinkets!

Your boo might love these kinds of trinkets too, or she may already have her own collection of blind boxes that she knows she wants to expand. Whether it’s Sonny Angel, Smiski, or bag charms, your boo would love these cute little trinkets! 

7. Cozy slippers

Another cozy item to add in your boo basket for her is slippers! Not just any pair of slippers, but slippers that are cozy, fluffy, and will keep her feet warm.

If you’re not sure which brand to go for, consider getting her a pair of Uggs Scuffette II Slippers, Uggs Disquette Slippers, or fur-lined Crocs. As long as the slippers have a feature that makes them cozy enough so that she can wear them everywhere around the house, she’ll love them!

8. Fuzzy socks

You can never have too many fuzzy socks, especially for the fall season when the weather gets colder. Add a cute pair of fuzzy socks in your gift basket for her, and if you can find some Halloween-themed ones that match the season, then that’ll be perfect! 

9. Snacks

As I previously mentioned, Halloween means treats and snacks! So if your boo has a favorite candy or chocolate, make sure to include it in your boo basket for her! To match the spooky vibes of Halloween, you could even get Halloween/fall-themed candy such as candy corn or blood bag liquid candy!

10. Perfume

Everyone likes to smell nice, and I’m sure that includes your boo, too! So, add a perfume to her boo basket that will make her smell lush!

If you know she has a signature scent, then make sure to add that specific perfume to her boo basket! This is a gift that she’ll appreciate, especially if she’s almost finished the current perfume she’s using! 

11. Toiletries set

Your boo is likely into self care (or at least says she needs to start taking it seriously). Part of self-care is taking care of your body, which is where a toiletries set will come in handy. Toiletries sets generally consist of a body wash, body cream, shampoo, conditioner, and perfume.

This is a lovely gift idea to help her unwind and practice self-care while smelling lush! If you know there’s a specific brand she loves that sells toiletry sets, then that’s perfect to add in her boo basket!

12. Bath bombs 

One of the best things about having a bathtub is that you can take bubble baths. If your boo has a bathtub, don’t hesitate to add a bath bomb set to her boo basket! As always, if you find Halloween-themed bath bombs, then even better! 

13. Matching PJs set

There’s something about wearing a matching PJ set during fall, snuggling up in a blanket with a coffee and a book. If this is the kind of vibes your boo loves, then you’ve gotta give her a stunning matching PJ set!

Get a silk or satin PJ set for luxury vibes, or if you know that she’d want a seasonal PJ set, get her a Halloween-themed one to match the season! 

14. Hair Accessories

Your girlfriend or wife will definitely agree that no one can ever have too many hair accessories. Whether it’s bobby pins, scrunchies, headbands or claw clips, your boo will always like to know that they have an abundance of these accessories for different occasions. So, it only makes sense to include some hair accessories in your boo basket for her!

15. Personal gift 

To make sure that your boo basket for her is extra special, include a personal gift. This could be a note, poem, or even that picture you took together when you dressed up as ghosts a few Halloweens ago. Whatever you decide to pick, this personal gift will add a unique touch to her boo basket, and she will love it!
