Basket/Container

You can choose a Halloween-themed bucket from a dollar store, a reusable basket he can use later for storage, or decorate a paper bag with Halloween drawings and special messages.


Personalized Touches

Add a personal touch by writing a handmade card with a spooky or cute note, possibly including an inside joke or pun. You can also create custom labels for the items, like “Boo-Brew” for a beer or “Frighteningly Good Socks.”


Snacks & Treats

For snacks and treats, you can fill small bags with a mix of his favorite Halloween candies, creating a sweet and colorful assortment. Or, bake Halloween-themed cookies and package them in a cute tin or festive bag, adding a personal homemade touch to the basket.


Comfort Items

You can also include one or more comfort items, such as a soft fleece blanket in fall colors, cozy socks (either Halloween-themed or plain), a fall-scented candle like pumpkin spice or apple cinnamon, and a pair of comfy sweatpants perfect for lounging.


Fun Extras

Here are some fun extras you can include: a gaming gift card with a certain amount, depending on which game he plays, like PlayStation or Xbox; self-care items like hand lotion, beard products, or other men’s grooming essentials.


Entertainment

Consider giving him a thriller or horror book if he enjoys reading, or you can opt for a small puzzle or card game for a fun activity.


Drinks

You can treat him to a couple of craft beers or his favorite brew, or surprise him with a packet of gourmet hot chocolate mix, perhaps with mini marshmallows.


Wearables

Keep him comfortable with a plain T-shirt in a neutral color, cozy and soft slippers perfect for fall weather, or you can choose a simple baseball cap, maybe in his favorite color or with a logo he likes.


DIY Additions

Add a personal touch by creating a playlist and writing the link on a card or note, or you can print out a strip of your favorite photos together, or make a custom coupon book offering things like a movie night, breakfast in bed, or a day out together.
