The spookiest time of the year is here! Though the history of Halloween has creepy roots, today it’s one of the widely celebrated festivals that is all about carving pumpkins, eerie costumes, candies, trick-or-treating and fun-loving fun.
Halloween, with its origins in the macabre and mysterious, has evolved into a beloved celebration filled with creative costumes and sweet indulgences. The best part about this holiday is kids all dressed up in scary costumes and going door-to-door, shouting ‘Trick-or-treat’. The amount of candy they receive is proportional to how scary they are dressed and how freaky their Halloween basket is. Well, it’s not just about the treats; it’s also about the thrill of decorating your kid’s basket to give away a chilly feeling, putting other baskets to shame. So you see, picking a Halloween costume is hard but decorating your kid’s basket that gives away a chilly feeling, putting other baskets to shame is a tough nut to crack. Here are some of the spooky Halloween Basket ideas for kids that will make the little ghouls and gals go BOO-yah.
Swish Swish, Spooky Witch Cauldron
Witch cauldron, combined with skeleton decorations and fake potion bubbling, is hands-down one of the scariest basket decorations. So this year, ditch the jack-o’-lantern pumpkin basket and get a Cauldron basket. Fill it with related decorative items such as Halloween chocolates and fake slimes.
You can also put a smoke pipe to give out the literal effect and decorate the exteriors with a witch wreath that will look scarily good. This will also be among the epic Halloween gifts for them.
Witch Leg Frightful Bucket
Spruce up the decorations by placing Witch legs upside down that will look wicked. Accessorize the basket with a pom-pom hat, glow sticks and creepy looking plants such as Brain Cactus, Doll’s eyes and Strangle Tare to give off the Witch of Oz vibes.
Grab a few of these items, add some of their favourite snacks/candies, and they will be ready to go.
Cute Boo & Bizarre Basket
Maintain the spooky and fun element by filling up the basket with classic Halloween elements like skulls, unicorn-themed treats, creepily carved pumpkins, skulls that add holiday vibes, and too cute to spook. You can also decorate the exteriors with a boo-tiful nameplate and spooktacular stickers.
Creep Them for Real with a Scarily Bag
You need not use the traditional basket or pumpkin to make a spine-tingling basket. You can also use a paper or cloth bag as a base for your Halloween basket. Stick googly eyes, creepy stickers, colour-changing sequins, plastic spiders and fake spider webs to add the Halloween elements. If space allows, hang a few of the Halloween tags. Next, fill it with your kids’ favourite candies, snacks and toys to complete the look.
Autumn-Inspired Halloween Basket
Grab a bucket or wired basket and fill it with seasonal goodies. Get leaf-motif, small-sized pumpkins, fall-inspired goodies, fall crayons and Halloween flowers that will look wickedly creative. It is fun, easy and can be easily customised as per your kids’ interests.
