But, there are plenty of last-minute boo basket ideas that exist and will make your bestie boo-lieve in the magic of the holiday.

Gather up your credit card and any packs of glitter you have around the house, as well as a box or basket which you can organize your new items in.

You can try to deliver your gift right in time for Halloween night, or the day after.
To be honest, it's the thought that counts. Either way, your bestie will be so surprised and excited to receive a basket of handpicked goodies. Start shopping these last-minute boo basket ideas that boo-lieve in the magic of Halloween.
