a trend on TikTok where people (usually young women) purchase an assortment of cozy items and put them in a basket, these baskets are typically themed around a season or
aesthetic, namely fall, hence the name "boo basket", but not all of them are fall-related. This trend seems to capitalize on the "overconsumption-core" trend on TikTok, where creators
will buy excessive amount of items, usually
beauty or bath products, and make an aesthetically pleasing video displaying the often alarmingly sized collections of said items, neatly arranged and color-coded. Essentially, it'
s just another iteration of people buying cutesy items they
don't really need for clicks.

Halloween and I
don't know how to tell her that I
already own most of the things she got for me"
