I was at Target the other day (dangerous, I know!) and stumbled across the cutest Halloween containers , you know the kind that practically beg to be filled with something sweet? I instantly knew I needed to whip up a festive fall treat to match their cuteness.
And since it’s officially pumpkin spice season, what better excuse to grab the Betty Crocker Pumpkin Spice Cookie Mix? It’s quick, easy, and absolutely delicious. But of course, I had to take it up a notch. Cue the candy melts and Halloween sprinkles, because we’re all about those spooky vibes!
These treats turned out adorably cute and added a fun twist to a simple cookie. Want to make your own? Here’s how:
I recently made Halloween shirts for my boys’ boo baskets, and of course, I couldn’t leave my daughter out! She’s all about anything cute, sparkly, and colorful, so I went on a mission to find the prettiest Halloween colors I could at Hobby Lobby. With a quick design thrown together on Canva, I was ready to bring some spooky magic to life.
Since I don’t have a Canva Pro account, getting the design into Cricut Design Space took a few extra steps. It’s still totally doable, just a little more time-consuming, but definitely worth it for a custom, glittery Halloween shirt she’ll love!
I absolutely love the tradition of making boo baskets for my kids every Halloween. It’s such a fun way to kick off the spooky season and show them a little extra love. Each year, I try to switch things up just a bit and this time, I decided to add a more personal touch to their baskets.
Now that my oldest is 14, it’s definitely getting trickier to find things he’ll actually enjoy or wear without an eye roll. But this year, I scored a win! I found some awesome Nightmare Before Christmas pajamas on Amazon, and let’s be honest, you really can’t go wrong with Jack Skellington.
To go along with the PJs, I decided to create a custom shirt that would match. I designed the graphic and used glow-in-the-dark iron-on vinyl to give it that extra spooky-fun vibe. It turned out so cool and even better, my teen actually liked it!

There’s something really special about being able to make even small holidays feel magical and personalized. These little traditions are the ones I hope my kids will remember for years to come.
My boys are completely obsessed with WWE wrestling right now. While I can’t say I share the same enthusiasm, they absolutely live for it these days, thanks to their dad. At 11 and 14, they’ve officially entered that era where body slams and catchphrases reign supreme.
This year, I’m putting together “Boo Baskets” for each of them, fun little Halloween tradition with treats, jammies, and a few surprises. I wanted to include something special and personalized, and that’s when inspiration struck.
One of their favorite wrestlers right now is Jey Uso, whose catchphrase is the (totally silly but catchy) “YEET!” So for my 11-year-old, I decided to create a custom shirt that says: 👉 “Trick or YEET” 👈 It’s the perfect mix of Halloween and WWE fun and I love how it turned out!

I’m seriously loving how this shirt came out, especially with the glow-in-the-dark vinyl! It’s going to look so cute paired with his Halloween pajamas. The “Trick or YEET” theme is such a fun nod to something he’s currently obsessed with, and I know it’ll make his Boo Basket even more exciting.

I recently stumbled across the cutest idea from @Vennacrownholm, and I knew right away it was something I had to try for my daughter. She swapped out the plastic handle on a classic pumpkin bucket with two binder rings and a bag strap and I absolutely loved how practical (and adorable) it looked!
Carrying a heavy bucket of candy on Halloween night can be a pain, literally. So this hands-free version is perfect for little ones. My daughter could sling it over her shoulder and go from house to house without worrying about lugging it around.
Since she loves crafting (just like her momma), I thought this would be the perfect little DIY project for us to do together. She got to pick the strap, choose a color to paint it, and decorate it with rhinestones. It turned out SO cute, and even better, she had an absolute blast making it.
I’m so excited that Halloween season is finally here! From cute kitchen towels to pumpkin scented soaps, stores are absolutely bursting with fun seasonal goodies. Whether you’re decorating your home or just looking for small ways to celebrate, there’s no shortage of spooky inspiration out there.
If you love putting together Boo Baskets or just enjoy spreading a little seasonal cheer, I’ve got a super simple and affordable gift idea that’s perfect for a friend, teacher, neighbor, or co-worker!
I found the cutest Halloween hand towels at Target the other day (seriously, I wanted to buy them all) and immediately thought these would make adorable little gifts! Paired with a themed soap and wrapped with a festive ribbon, this is a thoughtful surprise that feels fun and festive without breaking the bank.
Lay the towel flat and place the soap in the center.
Fold or roll the towel around the soap.
Tie it all together with a ribbon or piece of tulle.
Attach your gift tag to the ribbon
That’s it! Super easy, totally customizable, and absolutely adorable! Whether you’re leaving one on a co-worker’s desk or sneaking it into a friend’s mailbox, it’s the kind of small surprise that makes someone’s day.
