The best boo basket ideas and deals to shop this Amazon Prime Day
It’s just like an Xmas Eve Box, only spookier...🎃
Here at Cosmo we’re all for treating (and not tricking) our loved ones, no matter what the szn. So, of course, we were quick to jump on the latest gifting phenomenon that is a boo basket.
If you’re yet to be acquainted with this new playful trend, just take to TikTok or Amazon to find out more. We’re pretty sure we’ve borrowed this Halloween/Autumn trend from our pals in the US, but no matter where you live everyone deserves the pure joy of opening a boo basket this October.
Still confused? Think of a boo basket as the Christmas Eve’s box’s little sister. In fact, you can fill your Halloween hamper with all the same sorts of goodies – we’re talking cosy pjs, spiced candles, hot chocolate sets and pampering products. Although we’re inclined to throw in a new murder mystery book and every Harry Potter themed merch to make it that lil’ bit more spoooooky.
Not sure where to start when it comes to building a boo basket? Let us guide you through some of the staples with a little help from our friends at Amazon. If you didn’t already know the massive e-tailer has a Big Deal Days sale on right now (think of it as Prime 2.0) which means loads of the gifting items we’ve selected are even cheaper RN.
Take a look for yourselves. And happy spooky szn! 🎃
