Halloween is right around the corner, and one of our traditions is giving our kids Halloween baskets. What I like about these is we include non-candy items (because they get enough of that on Halloween night.) I’m more of a practical gift giver, so you’ll see items in these baskets that are useful for my kids.
Halloween baskets are extra special, and in no way thought of as something you must do to celebrate. We do a lot of other things to celebrate the holiday that doesn’t cost money or costs very little. A special Halloween movie night at home, baking festive treats, making crafts, and getting themed books from our local library. Although these baskets are extra special I try to purchase items that we currently need, but I just buy Halloween themed. We find when buying these types of items, we can pull them out each year to play, read, or decorate with. Below I’m explaining what’s in each of my kid’s Halloween baskets.
Levi’s Halloween Basket
(3.5 Years Old)
- Halloween Pajamas (Size 4T) – I love getting themed pajamas to put in my kiddo’s baskets.
- Boo Straws – The perfect straw to sip his drinks!
- Billy and the Mini Monsters Book – A FUN graphic style novel about Billy and 6 mini monsters he finds in his sock drawer. This book is hilarious (not spooky at all).
- Cookie Cutter Stamps – We’ll use these to make cookies, and we’ll have them to use every year.
- Halloween Craft – An easy craft we’ll get to make together.
- Halloween Socks (Similar) – We can never have enough socks around here.
- Personalized Halloween Puzzle – Lev’s been really into puzzles lately, and I saw this personalized one on Etsy I knew he would love.
Charlee’s Halloween Basket
(10 Months Old)
- Halloween Snack Cup – We don’t have a snack cup yet for Charlee, and when I saw this one I knew it was the perfect item to put in her Halloween Basket.
- Halloween Bibs (Similar) – We can never have enough bibs.
- Halloween Socks (Similar) – The CUTEST Halloween socks!
- Pumpkin Painting Craft – We’ll do this with supervision since she still puts everything in her mouth.
- Poppy and Sam’s Halloween Party – A really fun book about Poppy and Sam on their Apple Tree Farm as they are getting ready for their Halloween party.
