What are some Halloween gift basket ideas?

Introduction

Confession: I'm a sucker for a good gift basket. Something about bundling up tiny themed treasures makes me feel like a Pinterest witch with a glittery cauldron. Halloween gift baskets are *chef’s kiss* for just about anyone—from your kid’s teacher to your spooky-season-obsessed BFF. Whether you’re going full-on glam-ghoul or keeping it budget-friendly, these boo baskets (yes, that's what we're calling them now) are scarily easy to personalize. And if you’re building one last-minute? Check out our guide to fast Halloween gift ideas.

Basket Basics: Who’s It For?

Step one: know your audience. A Halloween gift basket for your niece is going to look verrrry different than one for your wine-loving coworker (unless your niece is super advanced—no judgment). Here are a few spooky basket vibes to consider:

  • For Kids: Stickers, glow sticks, slime, mini storybooks, Halloween socks, and allergy-friendly snacks.
  • For Teens: Face masks, spooky scrunchies, enamel pins, or horror movie snacks.
  • For Adults: Candles, cozy mugs, themed drinkware, wine charms, bath bombs, or a sassy sweatshirt like this Witch Bitch Sweatshirt.
  • For Coworkers: Think spooky desk gear, mugs, and non-candy treats—they’re especially great if you’ve seen our Halloween gift guide for coworkers.

What to Put in a Halloween Gift Basket

This is the fun part. You can keep it sweet, sassy, spooky—or all three. Here are some themed ideas to mix and match:

  • Bath & Body Basket: Pumpkin spice bath bombs, witchy soap bars, sheet masks, and a sleep mist for post-party recovery.
  • Movie Night Basket: Microwave popcorn, Halloween DVDs or streaming gift cards, themed socks, and a cozy blanket.
  • Glow & Go Basket: Glow sticks, flashlights, reflective bands, spooky sunglasses—great for trick-or-treaters.
  • DIY Boo Basket: Mix fun stationery, small toys, and homemade crafts or baked goods. Check out how to make it extra cute with Halloween care package tips.
