Hey, Dummy! Your GF Is Sending You This Article So You’ll Build Her A Boo Basket
He's a good man, Savannah!
If you’ve spent even 30 seconds on TikTok since September 1, you’ve probably come across the term “boo basket.” No, it isn’t a way for you to circumvent dating apps by asking a kindly stork to drop a six-foot-something man who believes in therapy and only thinks about the Roman Empire once a day on your doorstep as your new boo. (Although, who can we talk to about making that a thing?) No, a boo basket is a basket full of your favorite fall-centric shit that your partner makes for you out of the kindness of their heart to help you have a cozy time.
When I first saw this trend, I instantly thought,”Well, that’s bullshit.” Why? Because the dudes don’t do this!! I say this as a woman who is exclusively attracted to men. (So embarrassing, I know.) Look, I love my husband more than anything on the planet, including a Big Mac with extra Mac sauce, but I know what he is not. And he is definitely not the kind of person who is going to willingly go out to a Marshall’s or Home Goods and pick me up some Rae Dunn coffee mugs and pumpkin spice whatever-the-fuck and put it all together in a basket. And that’s fine! But I still want some cozy shit so I can slump into feral girl fall like I deserve to, okay?
So, below is a go-to guide for building a boo basket that you can send to your bae. I will be sending it off to mine as soon as I’m done writing. (Hi honey!! This is what I do at work all day!) Feel free to sub in any of the shit you love, but this is a good place to get started.
