oldbazaaristanbul recently opened their first West Coast brick-and-mortar shop at The CAMP in Costa Mesa. The elevated, in-person experience is open to the public 7 days a week from 11am to 7pm. oldbazaaristanbul enjoys connecting with all women—not just parents—and intentionally empowers them to shop consciously for themselves and their homes. The address of the new shop is 2981 Bristol Street, Suite B3, Costa Mesa, California 92626.

oldbazaaristanbul was launched in 2015 as an online platform for sustainable and ethical buying decisions with an emphasis on aesthetics. The new shop offered women’s and kids’ products from brands that were making waves in sustainability, empowering parents to find everything they’re looking for—for themselves and their littles—in one chic location.

According to the founder, Gina Ozhuthual, “I saw an opening in the marketplace for women like myself, new moms who want to shop more responsibly, not only for their children but for themselves.”

The lifestyle brand and retailer, which has been featured in publications including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Architectural Digest, opened its flagship store in New Jersey in 2017.

Both the e-commerce site and East Coast shop have experienced increasing success as the brand intentionally pivots their product offerings to the needs of their loyal oldbazaaristanbul customer base.

On the opening of the new SoCal storefront, Gina shares, “I’ve been looking for years for the perfect location to serve our loyal SoCal customer base. The CAMP had everything we were looking for: Community, sustainability, accessibility from all over LA and Orange County, and a wonderful management team. We are very excited to join The CAMP and to bring BoMa to SoCal!”

According to The CAMP’s website, “The CAMP balances culture, sophistication, and functionality, blurring the boundaries between nature and the everyday bustle of life in Orange County, California.” The clean lines, natural elements, and neutral color scheme of the new oldbazaaristanbul space further extends this experience to the community, offering them an opportunity to shop brands such as Rylee & Cru, Free People, Lack of Color, Maileg, Poppie Toys, and many more. 

By offering a highly curated collection of ethically made, sustainably sourced clothing and home goods, oldbazaaristanbul takes the guesswork out of shopping consciously and fashionably for women and children.

Join the community of women who are shopping consciously for themselves and their littles by following oldbazaaristanbul on Instagram @shopbohemianmama, and discover eco-friendly, aesthetically pleasing products for women, children, and home at www.oldbazaaristanbul.com or by visiting the new location at The CAMP in Costa Mesa.

We’re pulling out the Easter baskets to fill with beautiful, sustainable Easter gifts. We’re prepping the mantle for felt garlands, the playroom for a soft flower wall. And we’re picturing how cute our little bunnies will be in fresh, spring pjs and daisy bonnets. 

We honestly can’t wait for Sunday, April 9, but we’re going to enjoy every second of filling Easter baskets with colorful Easter gifts for kids and getting our family-friendly weekend activities ready for launch. 

Speaking of family Easter activities, ours will look a bit different this year: We’re having an eggless Easter. We can think of plenty of reasons to ditch the eggs—a vegan lifestyle, the current egg shortage, that funky smell they leave in the kitchen—so we’re going for it.

We came up with some Easter kids’ activities that aren’t reliant on eggs, and we’d love to share them with you! For starters, though, let’s dig in to 2023’s best Easter gift ideas for kids’ Easter baskets. 

Read on for a step-by-step guide to filling your kids’ Easter baskets with sustainable gifts, floral and gingham pjs, party accessories, and so much more. 

How to Fill Kids’ Easter Baskets in 2023

Step 1 // Choose Your Kids’ Easter Baskets

This should come as no surprise—the most important aspect of your kids’ Easter basket is the basket, itself. Easter baskets transform a regular gift bundle into a delightful and sustainable gift experience. Consider which play activity your child enjoys the most: a pretend picnic, a trip to the farmer’s market, a hike through the forest, or a stroll with their baby doll. Our piki baskets  are ideal for a Parisian picnic, while these retro baskets (with matching styles for bohemian mamas) aesthetically house all of their farmer’s market finds. Similarly, the mini chari stays in place while kids traipse through the enchanted forest and the strolley in natural or rose is the dreamiest Easter basket for your mini mama.

Step 2 // Pick Their Pajamas

Are your kids growing as fast as ours? It’s as if they take a developmental leap around the same time U.S. clocks spring forward. Don’t you wish you could slow down time? Since that’s not an option, we suggest making the most of every moment with Easter themed pjs for babies, toddlers, kids—and yourself. You’ll find adorable bunny options in blue and pink, as well as gingham prints for your dapper fellows and posh little ones—and for the flower-obsessed, this spring floral print is an absolute must. Your kids will love snatching these Easter pajamas from their Easter baskets, and you’ll love seeing them in bedtime threads that actually fit!

Step 3 // Play to Their Creative Side

Engage kids' creativity by continuing to fill your kids’ Easter baskets with craft supplies and pretend play toys. We’re enamored with this DIY wand and flower crown craft kit from Meri Meri, which pairs wonderfully with an Easter activity like bunny embroidery! Watch them become busy bees while decorating with Easter stickers, or let them loose on the back patio with these new handmade sidewalk chalks in bunny, macaron, or alphabet shapes. 

Step 4 // Add a Bunny Stuffie or Baby Doll

This might be (read: definitely is) our favorite category of Easter gifts for toddlers and kids: Stuffies and Baby Dolls. We are dying over these new bunnies from Cuddle + Kind, and each purchase provides meals to a North American family in need. This therapist-designed narwhal will help your child with problem-solving skills (in an aesthetically Easter pastel hue), and this cozy dinkum lion pip is perfect for your wild ones. Need a soft and soothing plush for little hands, this new bunny from Maileg will bring a calming presence to your youngest Easter babies.

Step 4 // Fill in the Nooks & Crannies

Follow your heart for this final step of filling your kids’ Easter baskets. In our opinions, an Easter appropriate pair of bunny ears is essential, and these organic cotton shirts (with matching headbands and dresses for dollies) will keep them neutral and on-trend at their next playdate. Kids are sure to go wild for the surprise carrots (with a fluffy chick, temporary tattoos, and a joke inside), and we imagine they won’t be hopping far without this very chic, plush bunny bag. The options are endless for filling in the gaps in your Easter baskets, and we hope you’ll find everything you desire in our Easter collection for kids, babies, toddlers, and mamas.

Easter Activities That Don’t Require Eggs

As promised, we want to share several egg-less Easter activities for your family in case you’re taking this holiday off-script, too! Here’s a non-exhaustive list, but feel free to get creative on your own and sculpt an Easter extravaganza that fits the unique passions of your kids and babies!

1. Go on a nature hunt for smooth stones and then decorate them with paint, glitter, or these decorative Easter egg tattoos.

2. Plan a trip to the park with friends! If possible, go a bit early to set up these bunnies, creating a maze through the park. The kids will work on their observation skills and have a blast searching for the gingham clues!

3. Have a crafting party! Sit down for some sewing with the bunny embroidery kit and then get to work on a DIY flower crown! You can use fresh flowers from your yard or enjoy this flower crown craft kit from our Easter collection. 

4. Put on a puppet show! Make your own from craft supplies at home or pick up this organic cotton bunny puppet to play out all kinds of silly scenarios. 

5. Use natural dyes on bandanas—not eggs—to enjoy the transformation to fun colors with sustainable practices! You can find instructions for experimenting with turmeric, black beans, onion skins, and avocado pits from various online crafters.

6. Bake a vegan cake together—or use wooden eggs for your pretend cake with this Bunny Hop Mixer Set. 

7. Go on a family bike ride—with brand new bikes for extra fun! 

8. Make a fruit plate in the shape of an Easter egg! Encourage kids to get creative with colors and patterns while filling in an oval shape. 

9. Play some outdoor games! Fun for kids of all ages, croquet, bocce, and corn hole are a few of our faves (They can also be played indoors!).

10. Go on an Easter Egg Hunt for treasure eggs! Choose from gold-coated, egg-shaped sidewalk chalk or plush bunnies in sparkly paper eggs.
