Wayfair’s Resident Style Advisor, Dee Fontenot, commented on the trend:
“Creating your very own DIY ‘Boo Basket’ is a brilliant way to add those oh-so-important cosy touches. It’s the perfect self-care box for autumn to treat yourself with - or a thoughtful gift idea for a friend or loved one to deliver them a bundle of goodies to hunker down at home during pumpkin spice season.”
“Although the warmer months may be drawing to a close, there is lots to look forward to, as we look ahead to autumn winter days. With colder temperatures, we naturally spend more time at home and in recent years we’ve seen the trend for seasonal decorating grow - as we look to give homes a refresh - and not just for Christmas. Adding a few simple decorations and autumnal touches is a great way to update a space, and these make for a fab addition to your Boo Basket!”
