BOO!

For the past few years, our neighborhood has “boo-ed” other neighbors during the month of October.  It’s sort of like a chain letter but with gifts that magically arrive on your doorstep.  The basic concept is if you get “boo-ed” by someone, you make two “boo” baskets or boxes filled with Halloween goodies (i.e. candy, Halloween décor) and “boo” two neighbors that haven’t been “boo-ed”.  Once someone has been “boo-ed”, they also hang a sign on their door so no one gets “boo-ed” more than once and you only have 48 hours to pull it all together! 

I had a creative idea this year and wanted to share.  Filling up a basket can get out of hand quickly, so this year, I found some really cute Halloween photo boxes, filled them up with goodies and tied a glitter bow around them.  I really like that the recipients can use the photo boxes for years to come.
