Ready? Set… BOO Baskets!
Hey Loves!
Fall is here and I am welcoming it like its royalty. I mean, it is practically the reigning queen of the four seasons so why not? Today I am sharing with you something I have never done before-BOO Baskets. If you are new to this concept, allow me to try to explain. A boo basket, as I have to come to understand it, is a collection of Halloween festive items from decor to crafts to apparel presented to those you care about to celebrate the season and show your love for them.
I hadn’t done one before because I outsourced that stuff. I would load my kids up and go to multiple fall festivals, a few pumpkin patches, and a couple of trunk-or-treats all to prepare us for the main event: Trick-or-Treating on Halloween night
Enter COVID-19 and all of the above not happening… feel free to hear the violins playing and lament with me.
So, in my lamenting, I began to problem-solve and since I already had baskets, I just added what we needed to BOO them. My goal? To have one craft and one sweet treat a week. I wanted the crafts to be sustainable and be used to decorate their room this year and a couple of years after. I didn’t want a sugar overload but I also know this is the time when sugar just abounds so, at least this way, we can make sure all the ingredients are good to us. I threw in some other things because I AM EXTRA. I also wanted those memories that I get every year from the festivals and patches, not thethethrlocation but the joy of our hearts.
Ok, now to what you came here for. Links. I’ll be sure to share this in my Instagram Stories and do my best to save them in a highlight!
The pennant flags and monster coupons were free printables.
These lovely and completely cute BOO lava bead bracelets are from the insanely talented Amber from Chameleon Ave. She has gorgeous pieces for everyone and it’s great quality.
I purchased the craft tote bag, foam pumpkin, stickers, spin top, pencil and bracelets from the Dollar Tree. I’ve linked some other options as those must be purchased in-store.
From target, I grabbed the paper mâché pumpkin, fall leaf family jammies, stuffy, and gel window clings.
I made the vinyl decals on the two shirts with my silhouette portrait. I also sewed the mask and the scrunchie. I gathered the wand items from things I already had but I linked some cute options for everything.
The Usborne sticker book and magic painting book, I got from a UBAM consultant. You can shop the goods-books about everything, activity books, learning pallets- here. The books, Room On The Broom and Llama Llama Trick or Treat, as well as the Room On The Broom Activity Book can all be purchased on amazon.
Happy clicking and happy Fall, y’all!
Love you. Mean it.
