Boo Basket 2k26


So, a couple months ago when Halloween stuff started showing up in stores, I decided to start collecting some things here and there to build my very own Boo Basket... with the one rule that I couldn't open anything until October 1st. So, without further ado here it is in all its final and spooky glory:


Inside, I added two Halloween Miniverse capsules, a Warrior Cats figure blind box, the Mummy trilogy on Blu-ray, a bag of pumpkin spice Drizzilicious and a bag of candy corn pumpkins (a Halloween staple), chocolate truffles, Rev energy gum, a small light up jack o' lantern, a fancy journal to record my thoughts, a plush jumping spider from Amazon (that I already named Jinx) and of course, I had to add a doll... Claire de Luna from Moonspell Magic. Technically, I had to free the jumping spider from its cardboard prison right away but I had to make sure he was the one that I ordered and he came with all his eyes, and so on.

The only thing missing here is a Witch's Brew Alani...
darn TikTok girlies hoarding them all.

It was actually super fun to build my own Boo Basket. Granted, the "surprise" aspect wasn't there since I already knew everything that I had put in there but I tried to add in a few surprise boxes to fill in that missing surprise element. I opened the other four of the Moonspell girlies last month and had to wait patiently to keep myself from opening Claire but it was definitely worth it. If you don't have a friend or partner to make you a Boo Basket, I definitely recommend making one yourself. If Miley can buy herself flowers, you can totally treat yourself to a basket full of spooky bliss.

I've Done This Before


I've been watching the clock tick like an actual hawk, ready to swoop down and pounce on my journal once it struck midnight on the 1st. Why did I wait for that specific day, exactly? I can't really tell you. Something inside just told me to wait until the calendar switched to October before I could truly begin... and honestly, I've been waiting impatiently for this month to arrive all year long. Fresh start. It couldn't possibly be a moment too soon and I just won't argue with it.

For the past week or so, I've been going down the rabbit hole of watching videos of people's journaling spreads, looking for prompts, #JournalTok and girlbloggers, ecosystem tours, you name it. Something started to brew inside me like a witch's overflowing cauldron ready to erupt. I need to do this... but I can only do it my way. It's like an eerie potion that only I know the recipe for.


Déjà vu.

I've been here before.
