Have you been BOO’d yet, babe? No? Well, stop scrolling and get the tea on the only trend that matters this October. The latest Boo Basket trend is taking TikTok by storm, and we think they’re the perfect gift for Autumn. If you’re not on TikTok, it’s easy to be out of the loop, but we’ve got you covered.
What is a Boo Basket?
A Boo Basket is a basket filled with autumnal or Halloween-themed gifts and treats and given to your partner or family member, friend, whoever you want to treat! Think of it like an Easter basket or a Christmas stocking, but in Autumn.
What started as a fun neighbourly game of ‘You’ve been BOO’d’ has become a full-on gift exchange that’s living rent-free on our FYP. This seasonal trend started on TikTok and now happens every October in the run up to Halloween.
The boo basket originally came from a neighbourhood game called ‘You’ve Been BOO’d’ where someone secretly leaves a basket full of gifts on your doorstep with a sign saying ‘You’ve been BOO’d’. You hang the sign on your door and then create your own basket and secretly gift another neighbour, where they then do the same to another neighbour creating a chain reaction of treats.
However, now people are taking the gifting element and couples are gifting their boo’s with their own boo basket! It’s the perfect excuse to go shopping (like you’d need one) and show off your gifting skills.
What Do You Put in a Boo Basket?
As it’s Autumn and Halloween-themed, think cosy fur-lined slippers, pumpkin mugs, fluffy ghost-printed socks, books, pumpkin-spiced candles, sweets, hot chocolate, knitted bobble hats and cute teddies. Whatever your boo likes basically!
But our babes deserve a glow-up! So this year P.Louise is ditching the candles and sweets for luxury self-care. We're taking cosy and comfort to the next level with the perfect night-in treat—our very own skincare-themed boo basket, in a delicious gooey s’mores scent. It’s a mouth-watering scent of toasted marshmallows melted chocolate, and warm vanilla graham.

Boo Basket Ideas
While we’re biased and think our skincare Boo Basket is the ultimate treat, we know there might be other vibes your boo wants! So, we’ve put together a list of ideas and themes to create the perfect Halloween gift basket.
The Basket
Get creative, ditch the old-school thatched basket for something you can repurpose like a plastic basket they can store makeup or brushes in after. Find a cauldron, a pumpkin with a lid or even use an orange or black tote bag they can use after.
Makeup Boo Basket
Keep it Autumnal and Halloween-themed by choosing brown, orange and neutral-coloured makeup. We’re thinking toasty bronzers, peach blushes, orange and brown eyeshadow palettes. Can't decide what to get? Our Autumn Makeup Collection has everything your boo basket could need.
Skincare Boo Basket
Now we know our boo basket is unbeatable, but there’s still room for more! Add a spiced maple Juicy Drip Lip Scrub & Lip Mask for super smooth, buffed lips then add shine and hydration with a pumpkin Bad Bitch Energy Duo Lip Conditioner & Lip Oil. Pair the skincare gifts with a jade roller, gua-sha or bubble bath for that luxe self-care touch.
Sweet Tooth Boo Basket
We're thinking indulgent caramel hot chocolate, sticky cinnamon rolls, giant chocolate chip cookies, pretzels, sweet waffles, apple pie, toasted marshmallows dipped in chocolate, sticky toffee pudding—whatever your heart desires babe!
Cosy Boo Basket
Find the softest items for that ultimate cosy autumn night in. A teddy bear blanket, fluffy socks, shearling slippers and pyjamas make the perfect additions to any stress-free Halloween movie marathon. Just add popcorn!
So, that’s the tea babe, make sure your boo is BOO’d up before it’s too late!
