When I heard my best friend was having a bad day on a cold October morning, I knew it was the right time to place a Boo Basket in her front seat. Boo baskets became a trend on social media a few years ago, as a way to show festive spirit and show your loved ones appreciation during the month of October. Whether you receive a basket from your loved ones, best friends or significant other, it’s all about the thought put into it.
I knew it was time to step up to the trend when I was driving on a rainy Monday morning at 6 a.m. listening to All too Well a handful of days after my best friend was going through some rough patches.
Granted, sometimes we aren’t able to fix emotions, but we can always be there for each other and try to do nice things for others.
I made my best friend a boo basket with her favorite energy drink, snacks, some decor and other things that reminded me of her, and made me have a “I feel like this would make her smile” moment. She opened the passenger car door in plateau and saw there was a boo basket there and asked who it was for. After telling her it was for her, her mood was immediately lifted for the rest of the day, and she kept telling me how grateful she was to have me as her person. Granted, I didn’t spend loads of money on it, but I spent time thinking about what could make her smile just a little more.
People think that they can’t partake in creating baskets for the special people in their lives because it is too much of an investment, but lots of money does not have to be spent, by customizing it with the things your people like.
Recently, the biggest hits for boo baskets have been found at the Dollar Tree providing options with specific ideas including seasonal decor accessories that you can add to your car or your room.
Being single in fall is the worst, not being able to take cute photos, pick pumpkins, and apples, with a side of cider with your person while wearing matching flannels, leads to lack of matching pj pants, and kisses underneath the mistletoe.
Well, girls’ For You Pages on tiktok are filling up as they constantly save them to their favorites or send them to their friends while often saying imagine, but not for long. The boy that wants to make pumpkin carving memories with the girl shows up to her house with a boo basket filled with goodies, stuffies, a blanket, and so many other things, alongside flowers, and Aroma Joe’s rush.
The boy may have gone a little bit overboard, but he put his foot down and showed that he was not going to fail the boo basket trend. Although they had been dating for a while, it was all about the time and customization that went into the creation of the basket for the special person.
Boo baskets are not a complex task, and can often be a fun experience to make and gift. It really tests you to see how well you know the people you care about. Visit the local stores, grab a basket and “boo” your special someone, and let’s bring on some FALLiday spirit.
