Spooktacular Boo Basket Ideas for Teens and Tweens

This Halloween, we plan to have a massive pot of chili, a Solo Stove, and a neighbor’s house as home base. And I’m adding in a new tradition – Boo Baskets. Do you need some fabulous Boo Basket ideas for the tween and teen set? I adore creating beautiful personalized baskets filled with gifts for my boys. I’ve always done Easter baskets without candy and even in later years Easter baskets for teens, and I always do a Valentine’s basket.

I’m getting ahead of myself…

We have always gathered with friends and neighbors for Halloween fun and trick-or-treating. I remember when our neighbor’s son refused to wear anything other than his beloved froggy boots ? and a diaper as his costume! (The parents dressed him one piece at a time as we walked down the hill…) This year, his girlfriend will be with him. Some years, we’ve done full-on potlucks and, in other years, just grilled hot dogs for the kids to have some protein before the sugar onslaught. We even played yard games instead of trick or treating during COVID. That year, an overly competitive dad broke his arm, falling over the sack race finish line…This is how we roll and I confess alcohol may have been involved. ??‍♀️)

Our group has grown to include new neighbors, the kids’ girlfriends, boyfriends, and friends from school, sports, and who knows where else.

Back to the boo-basket ideas. Who knew this was a thing? I was today years old when I found out about these fun little treat-filled gems. I was researching what to write about Halloween this year and found boo-basket ideas everywhere! Boo baskets for him. Boo basket ideas for her. Boo baskets for kids. Boo basket ideas for boyfriends, girlfriends, you name it!

You know what I didn’t find? Boo basket ideas that were great for for tweens and teens. I decided to fill that empty little niche right up for you. ? Here are 30+ fun and wacky Boo Basket ideas that even those grunting, eye-rolling tweens and teens will enjoy. And I enjoy making their Halloween just a little “extra.”

So, if you’re looking for a fun new tradition to celebrate Halloween with your tweens and teens, it’s the Boo Basket. Great boo-basket ideas like these that I found include spooky treats, Halloween-themed activities, and seasonal surprises. From tasty snacks and cozy items to festive Halloween accessories, these baskets are packed with everything they’ll love. You could even guild the lily with a handwritten note.

And what to use for the actual basket, my pretty???? ?

Container Ideas

Decorative Box – These fun boxes can store seasonal decorations after Halloween.
Canvas Tote Bag – This one is “totes” adorbs. (see what I did there??)
Drawstring Bag – Easy to carry and fun to use when they trick or treat!
Wire Basket – For the farmhouse look – and this one you could even use after Halloween!
Storage Bin – A reusable storage bin for their room.
Small Duffel Bag – I love that there are options that can be for Halloween and year round!
Backpack – This backpack is totally the ?!
Reusable Shopping Bag – Eco-friendly and handy for other uses.

I fall squarely in the camp of nobody is too old to trick or treat, as long as you wear a costume (no cheating)! I love watching my boys (sixteen and thirteen as I write this) having fun with neighbors and other friends, and racing around the neighborhood with parents tagging behind. (They could be doing worse – am I right?)

This year, parents and kids will be coming and going from our friends’ house – grabbing chili, candy, or a spot by the fire. And in between all the coming and going, I’ll have boo baskets for everyone! I can’t wait! Let me know what you have planned for Tween and Teen Halloween!
