Elf Tips

  • Each family participating in the neighborhood “boo-ing” 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—they may not have trick-or-treaters at home anymore, but it’s still fun to join in the neighborhood escapades!
  • If your neighborhood has a master list of everyone’s email addresses, it’s a quick and easy way to make sure you include everyone in the fun.

Do a Virtual Boo

Want to include friends that don’t live in your neck of the woods? It’s just as easy to gather the gang online for your own secret Halloween Gift Exchange. It may just require a little extra driving, or shipping, but it will be well worth the effort.

If you’d like to do a Big Boo Reveal Party, gather all the neighbors, even if they didn’t participate, for a festive Zoom call, including a virtual costume parade. Ask around the group to find your secret “boo’er” to say thanks.
