Boo basket for kids ideas
1. Nightmare before Christmas crinkle book
Babies and toddlers love sensory toys and this crinkle book hits the mark. It has textured, washable pages, a chewable corner, teether, glow in the dark figure and – the best part – it has Nightmare before Christmas imagery. It’s such fun and can be clipped onto chairs and strollers!
2. Teething toys
Teething toys are also great options for the baby boo basket. This one is BPA-free, made of food grade silicone and is super soft. Oh and the pumpkin and ghost silicone tags are super duper cute!
3. Cute onesies
For baby’s first Halloween, how about getting them a fun onesie? This mostly cotton onesie has “cutest little pumpkin” on the front and comes with a sweet headband. It’s perfect for baby girls!
This bat cape one is perfect for baby boys!
4. Bibs and socks
Bibs and socks are always useful gifts for babies and toddlers. These cotton bibs can be gifted to both little boys and girls and come with striped, candy corn and bat designs. The socks are mostly cotton too.
5. Night light
A night light would be a great gift to add to a kid’s boo basket. There are tons of fun and cutesy options to choose from. I really like this squishy silicone ghost light. The light brightness can be adjusted and it comes with fun sounds too!
6. Rubber duckies
How much more fun is bath time with toys like rubber ducks? These ducks are all Halloween themed and range from zombie and vampire ducks to ghost and pumpkin ones. They are super cute and are perfect additions to the boo basket.
7. Light up bath toys
Besides rubber ducks, you can also get Halloween themed bath toys for toddlers. These come in cute bat, pumpkin, ghost, and Frankenstein designs and they actually light up too! Bath time can be fun and a little spooky!
8. Cute decor sign
Okay so this one is more for everyone else than the kiddie. It’s a wooden decor sign that you can DIY with the baby’s footprints or handprints. It’s a wonderful keepsake to show them as they get older.
9. Board books
Board books are great gifts to encourage reading. There are lots of Halloween and fall inspired options to get but I certainly appreciate this one: Little Blue Truck’s Halloween! It’s cute and easy to read with kids. There’s also a whole series too!
For a fall themed book, get Biscuit Visits the Pumpkin Patch! It’s adorable.
10. Swaddle blankie
Cozy gifts are always a part of boo baskets and a swaddle blanket would be perfect for babies. This black and white one comes with a hat and bat, star and moon graphics on everything. It’s great for newborns through to 6 month olds.
11. Stuffed toys
Plushies are a big part of boo baskets and who would love soft, cuddly stuffed toys more than little kids?
You can opt for fun, colorful fall themed stuffed toys or go for more Halloween inspired ones like this set. It comes with a cat, ghost, candy corn, spider and a soft pumpkin basket to put everything in. Oh did I mention each toy makes different sounds? A few can squeak and others can rattle and crinkle! These toys are great for everyone!
A crochet positive pumpkin would be pretty great in the basket too!
12. Security blanket
Here’s another cozy contender for a baby’s boo basket – security blankie. This sweet one comes with a cutesy stuffed pumpkin in the center and is incredibly soft. It’s a gender neutral gift but the color may be better suited for girls.
13. Booties
We’ve been through onesies, swaddles and security blankets, but what about cozy footwear? These booties are scrumptiously cute! They have little pumpkins on them and are made of super soft fleece material. So, they are comfy too and make great gifts for baby boys and girls.
14. Play Doh
Play-Doh is a classic kids toy so why not get them some for Halloween? You can go for the original ones in the little buckets or get special spooky themed ones like this set that comes with 5 colors individually wrapped in 30 1-ounce packages. It’s perfect for bulk gifts or kiddies that love to get creative.
15. Halloween stickers
Are they big fans of stickers? Then, Halloween stickers would be such fun treats for their boo basket. These vinyl ones are spooky and great for kids who aren’t scaredy cats.
16. Halloween banner
Besides Play-Doh, creative kiddies would certainly enjoy this Halloween banner they can color and draw on. The banner is made of thick paper so they can use paints, crayons and color pencils. This is a fun activity gift that will keep them busy for hours!
Those are my boo basket for kids ideas. With all the suggestions here, you are sure to find something for all the babies in your life, especially the picky ones.
