The shenanigans that are conjured up in the Halloween season are simply fa-BOO-lous! One newer tradition is this idea of BOOing your neighbors and friends. If you’re not familiar with it, we’re here to tell you all about how to get the BOO tradition going! Starting off as the ghostess with the mostest fun to share is a surefire way to reach #SquadGhouls in your neck of the woods.
What Does it Mean to BOO Your Neighbors?
BOOing others entails putting together a basket/bag of goodies or grabbing a gift and anonymously leaving it on someone else’s doorstep! Especially if you’re leaving it for someone you know really well, include anything you think would be fun to leave for your BOO victim. You can be as simple or elaborate with it as you have the capacity for right now, boo!

Whether or not you know your neighbors well, here are some ideas to get your creativity flowing. Goodies for your BOO could be (bonus if they’re Halloween themed!) . . .

- bookmarks
- bubbles
- small craft kit

Gather what you want to give in a basket, cauldron, Halloween bucket from the dollar store, gift bag, or decorate a paper bag with a jack-o-lantern face! Just don’t forget to include the printable below to let your neighbor or friend know that they’ve been BOOed, and how to pay it forward.
So fasten your sheet belt, and get the fun started with your boo crew! Hopefully, what ghosts around, comes around.
