How to Boo Someone

This Free “You’ve Been Booed” Printable and Boo Basket is giving us all the HAPPY feels! The kids love it!

It has only been in the last few years that I had even heard of a boo bucket. It appeared on our front door step and the kids had so much fun with it, I knew I had to put a booed printable and share the booed meaning.

What does getting BOOed mean?

It is a fun way to surprise your friends or neighbors with a Halloween boo bucket without them knowing who its from.

There is a booed printable to include in the bucket. They can tape it to their door or window. It shares that they have been booed and then encourages them to continue the neighborhood boo. Fun and anonymous.

What is a boo bucket?

A boo bucket is simply a bag, bucket or container holding some Halloween treats for your neighbor.

What should I add to a boo bucket?

Colorful Boo door sign plus halloween party favors.

Colorful Boo Bucket Items including Halloween party favors.

Its important to know a little bit about your friend or neighbor you are going to BOO before deciding what to include.

Do they have children in that family?
How old are their kids?
Do they have any allergies?

Once you know that, then the rest is fun.

I love to include fun Halloween items like:

Beaded necklaces
Googly eyes
Stickers
Pencils
Erasers
Candy
A fun Happy Halloween sign
Or even some fun wine for Mom and Dad.

The key is to remember to have fun filling your boo bucket. Do not feel like you have to spend too much money. I found all my items at the local dollar store. It is also fun to add a few Halloween craft ideas for kids or Halloween coloring pages too.

Do I include the boo letter printable?
