How to “Boo” Someone
Create a Halloween gift basket filled with treats. Next, anonymously drop off your gift on a neighbor’s porch or co-worker’s desk while they are away. Then, that person should “Boo” two more people. The goal is that the recipients will continue the chain until Halloween arrives. It’s a fun Halloween gifting game! Include a Free Boo Directions Printable in your basket.
