Halloween Gift Baskets: How to Make Your Own

It’s been a long summer and finally Fall is here. October brings back great childhood memories for me. Why? Halloween of course! And because I enjoy this month so much I thought I would share with you my strategy for build your own Halloween Gift Baskets. Why make your own gift basket? Well I have found that vendors, even some of the great ones I partner with, do not do a good job when it comes to putting together seasonal gift baskets. So I have found that it’s a lot easier and more cost effective to just build my own.

So, here is what you do. First, buy yourself a basket of some sort. What I find works well is getting a basket that can be used to hold the candy you will be handing out later. I suggest getting something like an Earthenware Pumpk Candy Basket.

So now that you have the basket of your Halloween Gift Baskets what else do you need? Why some gifts of course! I like to put in three items: a costume, spooky music and some candy. That makes for a nice basket.

For a great selection of costumes check out the Costume Store at Amazon.com. They offer a great selection and you will easily get your purchases before the holiday.

Amazon.com also offers a great selection of spooky music for your Halloween Gift Basket. Check out their Halloween Music page for all the spooky music you could possible need.

Finally, the candy. Now some people let their kids go out and gets pounds of candy by themselves but I prefer to buy the candy for them and put it in their gift basket. That way I can control what they are eating! Luckily enough Amazon has some great deals on candy right now so unless you have already stocked up, go check out their site to get some great deals. You can click on the banner below to find their best deals on candy.

So that’s how you can make a great Halloween Gift Basket. Good luck!

P.S. - if you do use these tips I would love to see a picture of your basket, it would be neat seeing a number of you show off your hard work.
