How to Make the Perfect Spooky Gift Basket for Halloween

What is a spooky gift basket?

A spooky gift basket is really just a fun name for a thoughtful Halloween gift. They’re always a hit and a great festive way to kick off the holiday season for anyone! Halloween gift baskets are perfect for people who get really into the holiday (myself included). They’re fantastic ‘thinking of you’ gifts for friends and family; perfect ‘thank you’ gifts for hosts of your Halloween party and cute centerpieces for a Halloween office party.

What should be in a spooky gift basket?

What you put in your spooky gift basket is entirely up to you! We recommend starting with who it’s going to, and then go from there. We’ve broken down a list of ideas plus inspiring spooky photos from our Pinterest to help get you thinking. No matter who it’s going to; remember to know your budget, know your limitations (will it be mailed? Will it sit outside?), and keep everything seasonal with Halloween themed items!

Should I buy or make my own spooky gift basket?

While there are a ton of pre-made spooky gift baskets available for purchase - we always recommend making your own. Not only can you personalize them to the recipient, but you have more fun being creative, and make a bigger impact with a handmade gift.

So let’s dive into some brainstorming for spooky gift basket ideas you can make this Halloween!
