A slight chill is in the air. Pumpkins are creatively perched on porches all over town. And the neighborhood candy collectors will soon be dressed to thrill, hitting the streets on their sweet mission to fill their sacks all the way to the tippy top. From princess to pirate, minion to mermaid, as kids young and old eagerly anticipate the big night, the question of the season remains, \u201cWhat are you going to be for Halloween?\u201d<\/p>\n

Halloween only rolls around once a year, so as you contemplate this difficult decision, get your friends, family, and your entire community, ready for the celebration in a way that\u2019s super thoughtful, generous, and a little bit on the sneaky side…<\/p>\n

Spread a little \u201cBoo\u201d this Halloween with a friendly scare for your neighbors. A You\u2019ve Been Boo\u2019ed<\/i> fall-themed treat exchange is a fantastic way to bring everyone together in spooky spirit!<\/p>\n

Never been \u201cboo\u2019ed?\u201d Here\u2019s how it works: Your family is assigned to another family in your neighborhood. You gather a little basket of Halloween goodies and secretly leave it on your neighbor\u2019s porch, with a note letting them know they\u2019ve been boo\u2019ed\u2014but don\u2019t let them know you were ever there. This free printable<\/a> card from Elfster will do the trick.<\/p>\n

Using an online gift exchange<\/a> like Elfster makes it even easier to get your family and friends inspired for a little hair-raising fun, and keep it a secret. If your neighborhood has a master list of everyone\u2019s email addresses, it\u2019s a quick and easy way to make sure you include everyone in the fun. Each family participating in the neighborhood \u201cbooing\u201d will be assigned one other family they may or may not know, which makes it even better, and a great icebreaker for newcomers to the neighborhood. Be sure to invite older neighbors, too\u2014they may not have trick-or-treaters at home anymore, but it\u2019s still fun to join in the neighborhood escapades!<\/p>\n

This free printable<\/a> from Elfster is the perfect addition to your Halloween:<\/p>\n

I love how one You\u2019ve Been Boo\u2019ed<\/i> organizer and \u201cHalloween Hostess with the Mostest,\u201d Paloma Benst, has reached out to her San Diego neighborhood of nearly 50 families to easily let participants know how the exchange works by posting the rules on her Elfster exchange homepage. Here are her great tips to avoid a Halloween headache:<\/p>\n

Please answer the following questions and post them so the person that gets you knows a bit more about your family. This is going to be lots of fun! <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

1. Does anyone in your family have a peanut allergy?<\/i><\/p>\n

2. How many kids do you have age, and their gender?<\/i><\/p>\n

3. Any favorite candies?<\/i><\/p>\n

4. Your family\u2019s favorite movies or characters?<\/i><\/p>\n

5. Do you have a favorite color?<\/i><\/p>\n

6. Make it spooky or keep it cartoonish?<\/i><\/p>\n

Please add anything else you think is important. You will deliver your \u201cboo\u201d personally, and let the organizer know once you have done so.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

With rules and expectations clearly defined, let the \u201cbooing\u201d begin!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to do a Big Boo Reveal Party, gather all the neighbors, even if they didn\u2019t participate, for a festive block party, including a costume parade before the trick-or-treating begins. Ask around the group to find your secret \u201cboo\u2019er\u201d to say thanks. Include pizza or your favorite potluck picks for a little snack, and perhaps a little \u201cwitch\u2019s brew\u201d for the grown-ups. And, don\u2019t forget to pass out glow sticks before the sun sets and the kids are off and running!<\/p>\n

A You\u2019ve Been Boo\u2019ed<\/i> gift exchange is a great way to celebrate Halloween as a community. Looking for ideas for your hauntingly great party? Be sure to check out Elfster\u2019s Eat, Drink and Be Scary gift guide<\/a> for some festive fun.<\/p>\n

Want to include friends that don\u2019t live in your neck of the woods? It\u2019s just as easy to gather the gang online for your own secret Halloween exchange. It may just require a little extra driving, or shipping, but it will be well worth the effort.<\/p>\n

And why not share some scare with your co-workers, too! That\u2019s what Elfster exchange organizer Leah Cappadona has been doing the past two Halloweens and her co-workers look forward to this annual tradition.<\/p>\n

“We are an all female group of nurses who work in a cancer center together,\u201d Leah says. \u201cWe spend more time together than with our families, so we see each other as extended families. With the nature of our work, and the fact that there can be ten women working in one room at the same time, our work days can be stressful and tense.”<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce names are drawn, each week \u2018Boo Buddies\u2019 will leave a small surprise on their chosen person\u2019s desk,\u201d Leah explains. \u201cA piece of candy, a Halloween Card, or sometimes we decorate the nurses desk and computer with fake spider webs. Last year, one of the nurses hid a fake rubber rat on her person\u2019s chair. We like to be goofy and have fun with it. During our Halloween \u2018party,\u2019 we will each bring pot luck to the office and eat throughout the day. We all have patients at different times, so an actual party is not really possible. We keep it casual with a constant flow of food and people. Our gift exchange and \u201cBoo Buddy Reveal\u201d is usually food influenced. We all wish we could go back to the days of trick-or-treating. This is a great way to give a treat of a gift certificate to a restaurant, or a bottle of wine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really gives all of us something to look forward to, and an opportunity to not be so serious, loosen up, and really connect like the extended family we are,\u201d she adds. Thanks for letting Elfster be a part of your festivities, Leah!<\/p>\n
