I had to film this so fast because my boyfriend literally just left the apartment — and tomorrow is his birthday. He’s obsessed with spooky season (like, truly lives for Halloween/fall), so I came up with the genius, super original idea to make him a boo basket that doubles as his birthday gifts. In this video I walk you through everything I grabbed, how it all fits the theme, and hopefully give you some inspo if you’re putting one together too. I started with the big “spooky but cute” pieces: an amazing Pottery Barn Halloween pillow (we already have the famous one with the dog holding the pumpkin, so I know this is going to hit), plus a Jellycat owl called Hecky Hoot Nightly because we’re obsessed and he freaked out when he saw it in-store. Then I did a couple of more personal, actually-useful gifts: his favorite cologne that he stopped wearing because I thought I was allergic (turns out I’m not), a patterned knit shirt from Reiss he loved at Nordstrom, and a Skims hoodie + jogger set in heather gray for his work-from-home comfy cozy life. I finished it off with pumpkin spice pretzels, mummy pretzel rods, and Halloween tissue paper, and I’m assembling it in the morning while he takes the dog out so it’s a full surprise.
