If your little one isn’t ready for costumes, may we suggest these adorable Halloween pajamas?
Whether it’s their first Halloween or not, there are few things we love more than keeping our babes festive. Halloween can be a tricky one, though. Some kiddos really can’t stand baby costumes. Or maybe you have other kids with bigger costume situations for bigger kiddos, so dealing with baby costumes might not be ideal this year. Whatever your reason, Halloween pajamas come in super handy on a holiday that’s all about dressing up (after all, think of the photo opps!).
Not too spooky. Definitely comfy. Easy as can be. What’s not to love about Halloween pajamas, especially for babies. We’ve found everything from pumpkins to darling monsters to spiderwebs and more. You’ll be able to find a set that matches their little personalities for sure. The bonus? Any kind of holiday PJs don’t have to be worn just for the day-of. Pajamas are pajamas, afterall, so hang onto them and add them to the jammie collection. Take a look at our list of some of the cutest sleepers out there for a not-so-scary Halloween.
2-Way Zip Cotton Pajamas
Pumpkins are always a classic, and the 2-way zipper makes it easy to change diapers, too!

Ghost In My House
By Jumpin' Jamie
My homework's missing There's holes in the sheets He pushed my sister And blamed it on me Always turning on and off the lights And making noise so I can't sleep at night

You’re going to want to send this to your special someone, because they so deserve a boo basket
Whether you’ve heard of them or not yet, boo baskets are the newest Halloween-y project that’s gone viral. How do we know? TikTok, obviously. TikTok creator @emmasemingson‘s video seems to be at the heart of the trend (though we can’t say for sure whether or not she’s the Boo Basket Originator, she definitely knows her stuff).
See? Apparently, friends, you are entitled to a basket chock full of fall and Halloween goodies and we didn’t even know it. A boo basket is basically a basket (surprise!) with all sorts of little gifts and treats to celebrate the season. Wives and girlfriends appear to make up the bulk of recipients, though, of course, you can make a boo basket for anyone in your life. In fact, there are some people who use the ‘pass it along’ method of ‘booing’ someone. They leave a basket for a friend or neighbor, and that’s their cue to make one for someone else. But, you can give them however you want!
And, sure, it may feel like they’re just another thing to worry about during an already busy season, but trust us. These are seriously adorable, and, as TikTok creator Hunter from the account @maya.and.hunter points out, if your wife sends you a video of something, go ahead and do that something.
So, we highly recommend you send this list to your boyfriend, husband, or partner with a winky emoji, just as a little hint. If you’re looking for inspiration yourself, you’re definitely in the right place, too. Either way, we’ve got all sorts of great ideas for filling your fall/Halloween gift basket for your favorite people. Choose your basket and get to creating with our picks below!
A Pumpkin Pair for Their Fall Feet
Amazon
It's cooler outside—finally. And while we're loving it, our feet? Not so much. Keep them toasty with these slippers! Available in 3 colors and several sizes.
Their Pura diffuser could use a little Disney villain magic. Each one of these scents is inspired by a different favorite Disney character that'll fill the house with Pura's signature smart scents. If they don't have a Pura diffuser yet, throw one in, too!
Made with a fruity blend of blackberry juice, blood orange juice and lemon juice, our haunting cocktail mixer is highlighted with ginger and subtly sweetened with agave. Its bewitching purple hue and syrupy texture create a spellbinding beverage—mix with vodka or sparkling water!
'Obsessed' is probably an understatement when we talk about our feelings toward this adorable tumbler. It's available in multiple colors and you can even add a super cute tumbler topper!
A Spice Blend No Self-Respecting Fall Lover Can Resist
Spiceology
Pumpkin Spice is the magic word that makes the leave change color (we think). Even if that's not totally true, this Pumpkin Spice blend from Spiceology can be used in so. many. ways. Coffee, baking, over oatmeal, just to smell...the possibilities are pretty much endless.
Made with 100% pure avocado oil and a blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice, this Pumpkin Spice Olive Oil Caviar is best with ice cream, coffee, pastries, and more.

From witches brew to fairy potions, grab those wands and pick one of these magic potions for Halloween that you can make at home
Part classic science experiment, part Harry Potter, the following concoctions are safe for kids and totally fun to mix up. From fizzing and foaming to bubbling and bewitching, these magic potions for kids can be whipped up in no time. Looking for even more spooky fun? Try your hand at some Halloween crafts, tell kid-friendly ghost stories, and read these witch books that are only a little bit wicked!
Perfect for the spooky season, we love the cute mini pumpkins! Easy to set up and, if you keep it contained, a breeze to clean up, this potion for kids is magical.
Part love potion, part lava lamp, we're crushing on this concoction from Agnes at Hello, Wonderful. Using simple ingredients you probably have in your pantry, you can whip up your version in no time.
White clouds of witches' brew make these colorful drinks other-worldly. Dry ice is the key to this cool effect (with parent supervision, of course); hot water and soap can thicken the spell. Bubble over to Upstate Ramblings for the tutorial.
A little more effervescent than the lava lamp of the '60s, this potion made from oil, water, and Alka-Seltzer will get your kiddos all bubbly. These elixirs are easy-to-do and exciting to watch. Jamie from Hand On As We Grow has the instructions.
Sweet and colorful, this sugary brew makes the gradient with sugar, water, food coloring, jars, and a dropper. Your little wizard will be amazed at these layers, so pop over to Little Bins for Little Hands for directions.
Just glow with it. Potion-masters-in-training will need a little help from parents on this one, but the effort is worth the glow-in-the-dark effect. Ana Dziengel at Babble Dabble Do mixes corn syrup, baby oil, and water with a few "magic" ingredients for a luminous potion that doubles as a science experiment.
Easy to make with minimal mess, little mix-masters can craft their own swirling nebulas with a mason jar, cotton, water, glitter, and paint. You can thank Trisha over at MomDot for this mystical potion that just might get your little magician calm for her afternoon nap.
Potion-making is as easy as mix, whisk, color, and create! Have your little wizards gather half-bottles of household items like shaving cream, and shampoo, then add spice and dabble-e-doo! You’ve got a magic potion party. This fanciful fest was the inspiration of Bar Rucci over at ArtBar.
Is there anything more natural than kids whipping up a little garden-centric potion on a warm, sunny day? Probably not, which is why we love the setup from Jackie over at Happy Hooligans. With just a few ingredients, your kids can get their dose of outdoor play in a cool setting.
