Sam is still telling his summer vacation adventures stories, and Carol hums Christmas songs\u2014two months early and slightly off key. Yes, <i>the&nbsp;<\/i>holiday season is just around the corner, but it\u2019s not here quite yet. So, why not embrace the harvest season?<\/p>\n<p>Inspire some warm smiles on chilly mornings with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/free-printables\/youve-been-booed-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>You\u2019ve Been Boo\u2019ed<\/i><\/a> secret gifting chain. And, while the gifts are making the rounds through the office, everyone can get involved in a desk decorating contest. The office will look Halloween-ready in no time as your coworkers start to adorn their desks with spooky garlands and eerie props. These fall festivities are the perfect way to build excitement for your Halloween office party at the end of the month!<\/p>\n<p>Starting a You\u2019ve Been Boo\u2019ed gifting chain is super simple, and a ton of fun for all involved. Here\u2019s how it works! Start by using an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/secret-santa-generator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online gift exchange<\/a> tool and inviting your coworkers to join in. Once everyone who wants to participate has signed up, each person will randomly get a co-worker to shop for. You\u2019ll get to set the exchange date, and if you and your office pals are on a budget, you can even set a dollar amount. What about dietary restrictions, you say? Never fear! You can add those, and other preferences, online once you get started to make sure everyone gets the perfect treat, not trick.<\/p>\n<h4>Get Sneaky and Boo Your Co-Workers<\/h4>\n<p>In each basket, it would be fun to include a little <i>You\u2019ve Been Boo\u2019ed<\/i> card as well, to remind everyone to keep the giving spirit floating around even after the treats are gone. Here\u2019s a <i>You\u2019ve Been Boo\u2019ed<\/i> poem to get your creative juices flowing:<\/p>\n<p><i>To my friend in the cube next door <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Office work can be such a chore!<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>So I\u2019m sending to you<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>This big scary BOO<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>You\u2019re welcome, but don\u2019t ask for more!<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Any small gift or a little bucket of treats will do, but making it something personalized to the coworker you are leaving it for will make it extra special.
