What is a “Boo Basket”: The pricey new Halloween trend of “Boo Baskets” is putting a financial strain on cash-strapped parents.

The Boo Baskets trend has gained steam on TikTok and involves parents purchasing gifts for their kids’ lavish Halloween goodie baskets. One upset parent recently posted on Reddit, “There’s already costumes, trick-or-treating, fall festivals, hay rides, pumpkin carving, corn mazes, state fair…do we really need to add more? Absolutely no hate if you love doing this for your kids because I know I’m definitely over the top in other areas. It just feels a bit much for me.”

This is a HARD pass from me and you know how much I love Halloween. This just seems excessive!
