• Have a ghost photo shoot

Ghost photo shoots have been popular this year. All you need is a sheet and sunglasses and you’re set! Pick any location and take pictures looking like a ghost. Many people have chosen playgrounds or beaches at night to take pictures, but you can do it anywhere you choose. It is a fun twist to fall pictures. Instead of posing in front of leaves, you can dress up and go wherever you want.

• Make spooky baskets for friends and family

Spooky baskets are a fun way of giving to others. You fill a basket with that person’s favorite things like candy, scented candles, blankets, and fuzzy socks. You put all those items into a fall-themed basket or trick-or-treating bucket and you’re done. Now all that’s left to do is surprise the person you made it for. It is an easy way to put a smile on someone’s face.
