Halloween holds a special place in my heart—it’s my favorite time of the year! Back in my grade school days, I have vivid memories of how my cousins and I celebrated Halloween annually. We would cook up spooky-themed dishes, decorate the place with simple cutouts of spiders and witches’ hats, and indulge in hours of sharing eerie stories. Hailing from the Philippines, our rich tapestry of spooky tales kept us entertained until the early morning hours!

To fuel my Halloween excitement, I assembled boo baskets for my kids to kick off October! This delightful and spooktacular tradition involves curating Halloween goodies, such as pajamas and books, for the kids.

Creating boo baskets doesn’t need to break the bank. Given my boys’ love for zombies, ghosts, and all things Halloween, I found most of the fillers for the boo baskets at Action Nederland and Hema.
