Pink Pumpkin Halloween Bag

Pink Halloween has quietly taken over, and this is the piece that carries it through the night. Mon Ami's pink pumpkin Halloween bag is the treat carrier for the kid who was never going to be talked into orange, and it is the one thing in the costume that turns up in every single photo. It has three jobs across October. Early in the month it is the container for a boo basket, loaded with small favors and non-candy trinkets and left on a doorstep before anyone is awake. Mid-month it holds the treats at a classroom party or a neighborhood parade. On the thirty-first it does the job it was made for, which is going door to door and coming back heavier than it left. It is a friendlier thing to put in a small trick-or-treater's hands than a printed plastic pail, and it photographs a great deal better on a porch step at dusk.

How do you make a boo basket? A boo basket starts with a container such as a bucket, pail, or tote, which is then filled with a mix of Halloween treats and non-candy favors. Most people add a printed you have been booed note and leave the finished basket on a doorstep anonymously.
