Longaberger Halloween Baskets: A Great Trick-or-Treat Tradition!

Longaberger's Halloween baskets are always lots of fun and offer exciting ways to add to or create new family traditions.  My son used a Longaberger Boo Basket, the first Halloween Basket offered, for trick-or-treating for years.  Since it was made on the Spring Basket form, the Boo Basket was the perfect size for a little guy to carry.  My mother-in-law bought one for each grandchild to use each Halloween. It was a wonderful tradition.  

In addition to trick-or-treating, Longaberger's 2015 Halloween Cat Basket makes great decor at 14" tall, and the three little Ghoulie Baskets are cute and smaller at around 6 1/2" to 7" tall each. Did you see Longaberger's memorable Halloween product video on You Tube?  I love their colorful videos, and I hope you will too.  They have promised to create more!

Great Longaberger Halloween Cat Basket ideas recently shared include keeping the set out all year long to hold cat food, cat treats, cats, etc; giving as a graduation gift and/or office decor for a new veterinarian; or with a brick placed inside to use as a doorstop.  

Use Ghoulie Baskets for candy, such as black licorice in the Monster Ghoulie Basket for hair, suckers wrapped with tissue to make ghost treats in the Ghost Ghoulie Basket, and that delicious candy corn/peanut/M & M mix in the Pumpkin Ghoulie.  Battery-operated tapers surrounded by shredded paper would be fun in the Pumpkin Ghoulie, and the Ghost Ghoulie Basket would be fun throughout winter (without the ghost tie-on) since it's basically a pretty little white basket.  

Longaberger Tie-Ons have many uses besides livening up baskets, and these Ghoulie Tie-Ons do too.  Use them to snaz-up a cello bag of candy as a gift, or glue a pin on back and give to teachers, officemates, or other Halloween fans.

How about that Coffin Basket with its RIP Lid?  The basket is 11 1/2" long, so it would make a great black bread basket to use throughout the year.  It is made on the same form as the retired Heartwood Bread Basket.  Thanks to Linda Sargent for sharing at least part of these ideas.  I always appreciate the creative ones who freely share great Longaberger ideas online and like to know who to thank.
