Boo Box Ideas and Halloween Gift Guide 2025

It’s October! My absolute favourite month. Naturally, I’m doing a guide for those who like to make Boo Baskets, but some of the gifts included here are my fail-safe ideas that will come in handy if you have a birthday party gift you need to buy that’s close to Halloween, so I really hope this gives you a good starting point to choose your seasonal gifts.

So let’s kick off with Boo Box ideas. You really can’t beat Halloween costumes and accessories as your foundation. This cat cape from Mimi & Lula is seriously cute, and if you don’t need a full outfit, opt for accessories like a sparkly witch’s hat or a whimsical cauldron. Fill the cauldron with sweeties for maximum glee.

Halloween-themed Warmies make epic birthday gifts if you have some October school parties coming up. There are ghost ones and pumpkin ones, which are fabulous gift ideas that will be treasured for many years to come. They are lavender scented too, which is perfect to help little ones sleep. Spooky socks are also a no-brainer.

Water bottles like this ghost design are perfect for Boo baskets, as are Spooky books. These are practical gifts that won’t be discarded after a day. Even the bat cauldron can be brought out year after year for trick or treating!

A Nightmare Before Christmas phone or controller holder is an excellent gift idea if your child has an October birthday and loves Halloween. Seasonal sweet treats will always be received with excitement.

If you want to add to her jewellery collection, Pandora does adorable Halloween-themed charms! The best bit? This one glows in the dark! Such a lovely personal gift that makes a treasured keepsake. Cute spider-themed bobbles make the cutest finishing touches to any Halloween outfit.

Storage, but make it Spooky! Skeleton-themed LEGO storage for the win! Here’s a lego set to go with it!

Saving the best until last, this doodle set will allow them to showcase spooky drawings! For any child that loves arts and crafts, this is the ultimate gift! Draw a design and print it!
