Suggestions for Boo Basket

[Anonymous]

Our neighborhood has a tradition of boo baskets every October and my kids (DS3 and DD6) want to boo families that have tween/teen kids. Any suggestions for inexpensive items to fill that appeal to that age group? I'm obviously going to include some candy but looking for some other fun things to add.

It's no fun now that everyone has ring camera's etc. Supposed to be anonymous fun game.

Teens like candy and fake spiders to scare their friends with. A mini pumpkin to decorate with?

Mini pumpkins are expensive. Op asked for inexpensive.

I’d do festive slap bracelets, funky Halloween straws and maybe a small ($5) Starbucks card.

And sure maybe they know who it is but at your kids’ age they are the one getting the kick out of it. I know people hate these around here but let your kids have fun.

Mini pumpkins at Harris Teeter are $1. We just bought a few and was shocked at how cheap they rung up. Cheaper than candy.

No, you can get mini candies for cheaper than $1

I thought it was all about the candy/snacks. Toy are hard due to different ages.

Just do candy and salty snacks like Takis or the Halloween pretzels.

Give your kids a $5 budget at Michael’s and let them pick out whatever they want to put in the basket, including candy. It’s super fun for the younger kids to “choose” and no matter what, the teens will both like it and be indifferent at the same time, as teens often are. 😂

I suppose you could always don an oversized hoodie and a face mask, since there are plenty of the latter around. They tend not to be that great of a camera.

Candy, gum, and salty snacks. No need for anything else. So kind!

You can get some fun stuff at the dollar store--like socks and decorations
