Halloween 2020 will look different than last year's celebrations thanks to social distancing but Meijer is helping the festivities to go on with Boo Bags. Inspired by 'You've Been Booed,' Boo Bags help families share a stash of goodies at the doorstep of a neighbor or friend and after they've been "booed," they need to pass a surprise onto someone else.
Since many families will not be going trick-or-treating at the end of October, Boo Bags have the potential to help kids celebrate the season in a safe way. Thanks to the flexibility of this format, Meijer offers plenty of creative Boo Bag ideas, which can range from everything from spooky cocktails and festive decor to classic candy-filled bags to suit Halloween lovers of all ages.
