Boo Basket and Halloween Books

I'm all about creating and keeping new traditions and a new tradition to us is the Boo Basket!  Full of fun Halloween trinkets, activities, books and treats this basket is so fun!  I found most of the stuff in the Target Dollar Bins too!  You can make it as expensive or as affordable as you'd like.

Let's take a look in this cute little basket!  

Everything is from Target except the Where's My Mummy Book! 

I also like to give things Livy needs, like her little boots!  It makes it more fun to receive and helps fill up the basket.

Livy has some fun Halloween books and I wanted to share her favorites incase you're looking for fun Halloween books!  I'm always looking for more! haha

Here are her favorites!  I'll link what I can.  The Spooky Fashion and Trick or Treat! books were a gift.  I got the Olivia Big at Dollar Tree.  Where's My Mummy, Room on the Broom, There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat, Trick or Treat Little Pumpkin, and Pippa the Pumpkin Fair.  And we can't forget:  I Love You, Little Pumpkin!, Where's The Witch?, and The Best Halloween of All.   Liv memorized the Trick or Treat book!  haha It's not small.  The girl loves her books!

Halloween Decor

I can't believe that October is almost over.  I am loving my Halloween decor this month.  It's so fun switching up decor each month.  

I love switching up these open shelves I got from Etsy, they're no longer available but I love THIS set too.  Also love the look of a pumpkin collage.  I used some of my favorite Target Dollar Spot cake stands, pumpkins from Target Dollar Spot and Dollar Tree, and fake leaves and flowers from Dollar Spot.  I think the thing that pulls that bottom shelf all together is Handwritten Harper's hello pumpkin sign.  It's honestly my favorite piece of decor for Halloween.  The adorable witches are from Walmart.  I stacked random books that I already had to look like spell books on top of a cute gold cake stand (linked similar, this one is totally on my wish list) and added small wooden decor I previously painted to pull it all together.  

My simple table setting is all from Target Dollar Spot with some little pumpkins from Dollar Tree!  I love cute things even though I'm on a budget.  

I love that this section on our main floor.  I have a large open room that's my kitchen, family room and dining room all in one.  It's been interesting to try to figure out this space, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. 

Love the little pops of Halloween on this little shelf too (shelf is from etsy, here's another one I love too)!  Blocks made by me, rest from you guessed it Dollar Tree or Target Dollar Spot.  I LOVE fake flowers from Dollar Tree.  I honestly think they are so great for events and home decor and SO great for your wallet too!

My older sister is so good at finding cute Dollar Tree DIYs and this was one of them!  Can you believe this was made from things from Dollar Tree?  Each side is for another holiday/month!

I love to decorate our little entertainment stand too.  The HOME blocks are another Dollar Tree DIY and that wire pumpkins are from Target Dollar Spot a few years ago.  Real life right here.  Cords, doors open, DVDs a mess this is honestly how it always is. haha

I love to switch out the ribbon on this IKEA frame (can't find them at IKEA anymore but linked the same ones I found on Amazon!) and keep that picture of Christ in our front room/general area all the time.  The cute little house is another Dollar Store DIY and the ceramic pumpkin and runner are from Target Dollar Spot.

This is probably one of the areas that I didn't love this month.  So many random little things but wanted to show them all.  Next year I'll try something different!

Wish you could see these little Jack-o-lanterns at night.  They have the cutest little flickering tea lights in them that actually look like candles!

Another favorite area is my chalkboard and wreaths.  Bless my mom's heart for always letting me take ribbon from her!  Thanks Mom!  And how cute is that Halloween banner Brittany made me for my birthday years ago.  It's one of my favorite decorations!

I do switch things up throughout the month if I don't like certain areas.  The moving island never got the way I wanted and I don't know if I love this shelf but I do love this cute little witch my mom got me this year at Walmart!

My Mom has the cutest home decor and today on Instagram stories I'm showing you a little glimpse in her house this Halloween!  What's your favorite part of our house this year?

Boo! We Love You! Halloween Love Note

 Halloween is almost here!  If you're anything like my family we love to exchange little gifts for every holiday, especially between the young cousins.  Think Dollar Store or Target Dollar Spot items, but usually with a cute tag!  

I do Holiday preorders and last week I did Sugar Cookie Decorating Kits.  This would have been so fun to Boo! a family, neighbor or friend with!  And a note about preorders, keep a look out for them on my Instagram.  Sometimes I have extras and sometimes I only have enough for those you preordered so plan ahead.  They are sure fun for the holidays!

But even a store-bought treat would be so fun and yummy!  Like Halloween Oreos!! Delicious!

These are the little gifts we are giving Livy's cousins on the Warner side.

We got these in the Target Dollar Bins and love how cute and inexpensive they are.

Also loved last years little cousin gift!  

Last year I did this adorable idea and wanted to share it with you before Halloween comes.  I used clear boxes that I found HERE on Amazon (thank you Amazon Prime!) and filled it with fun halloween candy and little Halloween trinkets I found at Target.  Note on the clear boxes-this tag fits the 3 X 3 X 3 size perfectly.  Super easy to replicate and super fun, no matter the age.  Just switch up what you put in the boxes!  This would even be so cute to BOO! a friend or neighbors with.  Attach it to fun Halloween treat and you're set.  

Find the FREE printable for the Boo! We love you! Happy Halloween tag HERE!

I left this tag blank so anyone can use it and write in who it's from, but I have had a couple requests for personalizing or designing something special with the handouts and tags I create.  I would love to help, I'm going to start offering this service for $5 per tag/design!  I'll send you the finished PDF you can use again and again. Reach out to me through email or send me a message on Instagram so we can get started!
