Harvest moon delights: Scentsy-inspired Halloween gift baskets

Several holidays tend to hog the gift-giving spotlight. But there’s no reason you can’t start the season of generosity under a harvest moon. Halloween is a spooktacular time to deliver treats to your family, friends, teachers and neighbors — no tricks required! Curating a thematic basket of goodies will wow any “ghoulfriend” (and let you save wrapping paper for December). Use these ideas to get started:

Embrace fall colors

Choose an autumnal color theme for both die-hard Halloween lovers and fall fanatics. Orange, burnt sienna, earthy browns, reds and yellows combine for a beautiful collage in nature and in gift baskets. Keep these seasonal colors in mind while looking for pressies, fillers and goodies. Embellish with tissue paper, ribbons and other decorations.

Give sweets some thought

Candy is a natural fit for any Halloween basket — especially if you’re shopping for a sweets fiend who claims to be “too old” for trick-or-treating. This is easy enough when you know what treats your friend loves, but it can be a bit trickier if you’re delivering a gift to a new-to-you acquaintance. In this situation, it’s best to stick to store-bought candy, avoiding items that contain nuts or other common allergens.

If you’re game for a bit of do-it-yourself action, offer up a mason jar of apple cider, cinnamon sticks and blood oranges for a welcome and refreshing fall beverage.

Dial down the spooky

It can be tempting to go all-in on the Halloween theme and deliver a haunting gift, but do keep your audience in mind. For example, imagine covering a basket with plastic spiders only to find out your friend is an arachnophobe. Unless you really know the recipient, it’s best to stick to the lighter side of eerie. Black cat vibes are captured by the Spooky Stare Mini Warmer while our Batista the Bat Buddy Clip creates a spirit of fun for the whole fam — plus, these treats are perfectly basket-sized!

Create autumnal magic

If your friend, auntie or son’s teacher is more into lattes than chilling carved grins, lean into their fall style and “leaf” Halloween to the side! Look for gifts that are all about coziness, comfort and nature — the sort of things you could see them appreciating on a crisp autumn afternoon. First, offer up a handwritten recipe for pumpkin loaf or cinnamon rolls and a few of the ingredients. Combine that with the Lumina Pumpkin Darling Décor pillow and a seasonal fragrance, like Autumn Road Trip or White Pumpkin & Driftwood.

Make it your own

The best part about gift baskets is how expressive they can be! This is a chance to let your creativity shine, so don’t hold back!
