And expensive!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is it true, Christine? Is it true? Kristen? Yes, boo
baskets are back, my boom, it's boo basket time, little
boo thing.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Oh no, and he's get you a boo basket.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
So what's the deal. It's not just for kids, it's
for friends now.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, Kristin, you've been following this trend on on TikTok
about the the boo baskets.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Yes, yeah, if you literally, if you just type in
boo basket on TikTok, you're going to see the videos
you're about to explain because it's.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yours.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Another thing. Yes, all right, I've got to be honest.
If Eric showed up and he had a boo basket
for me with the kind of things that we're seeing
happening on TikTok, that's okay. But please don't expect us
all to be able to do this because we can't.
So a boo basket started with I guess you would
say gen z where we was talking gen z.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Right, pretty much?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, leaving a note that says you've been booed and
you put together a basket of not just candy and treats,
but something really nice and trendy, like maybe slippers and
stuffed animals and candles and mugs and Stanley cups and iPhones.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Oh my, you know what it sounds like. You know
how the Oscars give out these crazies.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yes, or the Grammys.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
You've got a big gift basket for the celebrities. Only
the celebrities get it. It's like that. It's like that,
but maybe not that kind of level.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
But well, in our world, yes, it's us going and
buying those things. You leave it for someone you've been booed,
and they're supposed to pay it forward and get a
boo basket for someone else. So it turns out that
you know, maybe your friends are getting a boo basket
or your partner huh. But kids are now wanting boo
baskets from their parents, and I know you guys have

(01:48):
your hands full.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Well, I mean, look, I think my wife, I think
we did this last year. We put something out by
their door when they woke up on Holloway morning.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
And that's cute.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
It was just like candy though it wasn't crazy. It
was like car keys in there or something.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Right. Well, that's the thing, because you are once you
start you every year. That's the problem. That's the problem.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Okay, have you done it, Kristen?

Speaker 3 (02:12):
No, you know. So the one thing we do do.
My grandmother did this when we were kids, is she
would give every grandchild a card, a Happy Halloween card,
and she would put ten dollars in it. So, you know,
we kind of do the same thing every holiday for
other than Christmas obviously for our kids. But there's no
basket with a Stanley cup and one hundred dollars worth

(02:33):
of stuff. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
The good thing is, like your kids are so little, Kristin,
I don't know if they're onto this yet.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, and maybe this trend won't last forever. You might,
you might be able to go under the radar with
this one. But yeah, if you're expecting it, it's like
they just keep upping it.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Great text from nine to seven to three. She or
he wrote, So now boo baskets are they new swag bag? Lol?
And they kind of.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Are right exactly like I said, no complaints of Eric
wanted to surprise me.

Speaker 1 (03:01):

for sure?
