FAQ
What do you put in a fall gift bag?
You can include anything you like in a fall gift bag—don’t feel pressured to follow specific rules. If you’re looking for fall-themed items, consider pumpkin-flavored products, seasonal coffees and teas, assorted nuts and dried fruit, apples and apple cider, fall spices like anise or cloves, cozy socks and throw blankets.

A boo basket is similar to a fall gift basket but with a Halloween twist. Include candy, spooky toys, plushies (like ghosts or skeletons), glow sticks and glow-in-the-dark stickers for a fun and festive touch.
How do you make fall cozy?
Fall brings cooler weather, so cozy gifts are ideal. Choose items that help people feel bundled up, like hot beverages, warm apparel (including blankets) and fall-inspired foods like soups, stews or Halloween candy to enhance the cozy autumn vibe.
