First, You will want to make the event on fakebook or wherever you connect with your friends. I did Facebook, and the response was AWESOME!
Originally, We were going to do it white elephant style, but I decided after the huge response, we would do numbers. You can find my 8.5x11 sheet of ghosts right here already numbered for ya!
You will need two sets of the numbers! One to put on each basket, and one to put in a basket or bag to draw later.
Once all of the baskets are set up, each participant can go snag their basket that matches their ghost number!
We Set up this designated area for all of the baskets:
So, Party started at 4 but we just asked that everyone had their basket to me by 5pm! I
At 5pm, We took the bag with the second set of numbers in it and we took turns picking a number. Whatever number you chose, was the basket you got! While everyone mingled, they ate snacks we provided! You can be as festive as my mom with her Halloween themed bowls, or as basic as me by just ordered a few pizzas!

Another Great cheap but functional filler is Jewelry! My favorite is this stackable Halloween beaded bracelet
Really, ANY comfort item, but Slippers are also a good OS fits all since they come in size ranges.
