This year, I wanted to create Boo Baskets for my best friends to celebrate the fall season! I filled the baskets with a mix of practical and fun items—all sourced from Walmart. thank you walmart for sponsoring this post!
The baskets turned out super cute, and I wanted to share a few tips on creating boo baskets (or any basket in general) that I’ve been doing for the last couple years!
Buy in Bulk and Divide
One of my favorite tricks when creating gift baskets is to buy items in larger quantities and divide them. For example, I found a set of four pumpkin mugs (which are adorable BTW!) that I could split up, instead of buying individual mugs at a higher price.
This approach works perfectly for items like candy, too. I bought a bulk bag and portioned the treats into the mugs, adding a sweet touch without extra cost.
Opt for Multi-Use Baskets
A key element of these Boo Baskets is the decorative basket itself. I always look for pieces that can be repurposed, so the basket becomes part of the gift rather than just a container. These charming baskets from Walmart are perfect because they can be reused around the house as decorative storage or for organizing. It’s a small way to add more value to the gift!
Include Something Cozy
Adding a soft element is a must for me, whether it’s a pair of slippers, a plush pillow, or in this case, an orange blanket to complement the seasonal theme. I also included these adorable pillow pumpkins, which are versatile and can be used as fall decor long after the basket has been emptied.
Add a Little Seasonal Flair
To finish off the Boo Baskets, I tucked in some small seasonal touches—like a decorative spider and a cozy candle. These little details help create a warm, festive vibe that feels thoughtfully put together.
Creating these baskets was such a joy, and they turned out even cuter than I imagined! If you’re thinking about making something similar, I hope these tips inspire you to get creative without feeling like you need to overspend. It’s all about thoughtful choices that add up to a beautiful, personalized gift that your friends will love!
