I’m a shopping writer – these are my picks for a ‘boo basket’ this Halloween (Image: Getty Images)As we delve further into the eerie season, a certain trend has been making waves on social media. The ‘Boo Basket’ tradition has taken off and as a shopping writer, I’ve been scouting for the top items to include in your planned basket this October. From cosy autumnal vibes to spooky decorations and treats perfect for trick-or-treating, I’ve rounded up my top Amazon picks for the ultimate Boo Basket this Halloween.

One thing I’ve noticed popping up frequently in these baskets is the autumn staple for cosy comfort – think spooky PJs, fluffy socks and all things snug. If you’re not planning a costume party or an evening of door-to-door trick-or-treating, then what better way to spend All Hallow’s Eve than snuggled up in front of the TV enjoying some spine-chilling films? Whether you’re planning a marathon of your favourite horror flicks, or indulging in some nostalgia with childhood favourites like Halloweentown, you’ll want to be wrapped up warm and super comfy as you relax in front of the screen, reports the Mirror. My top pick for a PJ set to gift a loved one, or yourself, this October are these cute patterned jammies that are currently selling for £11.99 – and they come in a variety of designs and colours to choose from. However, they are a short-sleeved and short combo, so if you were hoping for something a bit warmer, I’ve also found this set with a stylish pumpkin motif for £20.99. Other essentials that I’ve discovered are this multi-pack of fluffy Halloween socks, your choice of must-have slippers – with either these adorable pumpkins or these spooky ghost patterns – and of course, a cosy blanket to wrap yourself up in the chilly evenings. Trick or Sweet-Treats?

If there is one thing Halloween is famous for beyond the costumes and scares, it’s the food. What would this spooky season be without all of your favourite snacks close at hand? Luckily, Amazon has plenty to offer – including this spooktastic multi-pack featuring favourites like Skittles and Snickers. With this trick-or-treat-ready ensemble, you’re set for all things chocolate. But if you are more of a sweet fiend, check out this ultimate bundle that’s packed full of sweet and sour must-haves, with something for everyone – be it family, friends, or strangers dressed up on the doorstep.

Finally, you’ll want to add some home decor items that will really set the Halloween mood. A must-have for the occasion is of course candles – like this set of 6 cute ghosts, perfect for scattering around the house or bundling together, or this best-selling Yankee Candle for £13.70. Another essential as we edge closer to the winter period is, obviously, the perfect mug to sip your favourite hot chocolate or seasonal coffee while you get cosy indoors. I personally adore this ghost one for £11.99. And naturally, since we already have a blanket, what cosy autumn home would be complete without the all-important pillows? Be it a patterned one that can blend in with any interior design, like this black and white ghost patterned one, or perhaps you’re leaning (with me) towards this incredibly adorable pillow-plushy ghost, to match your new mug. And the beauty of these is: who said they were only for Halloween? Keep a splash of spookiness in your home all winter with these cute and comfy pieces to crown off the cosiest Halloween set-up.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
