Hold my PSL. It’s spooky season! It’s time for kids’ Halloween costumes, Halloween house decor, and Halloween clothes for women. Individually wrapped candies don’t count as calories for the next couple of months, and apples are inedible unless dipped in caramel.

The inside of the house should carry a cinnamon scent at all times. Outdoors must maintain a brisk, around-the-fire-pit sensation and the Sanderson sisters are an acceptable icebreaker for every social engagement. Also acceptable: Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
You can now begin daydreaming about DIY Halloween costumes for kids. Then, I ask you to recall last year’s rush to buy a last-minute Paw Patrol costume for toddlers or a witch costume for girls and feel free to disregard that train of thought immediately.
This Hallow’s Eve, you can either be prepared, realistic, or both by shopping the Great Pretenders costumes for kids and Meri Meri Halloween decorations for parties and home in advance. In this post, you’ll find responsibly sourced costumes for kids like Harry Potter wizard capes, ballerina tutus, princess costumes, unicorn costumes, and more.
And great news: these costumes for girls and boys check all the boxes for aesthetically-inspired instagram moms (all of us?) and kids who are drawn to licensed characters like Snow White, Batman, Spiderman, and Cinderella. How do they do that?
These kids’ Halloween costumes are:
You’ll be able to keep an easy eye on your girls and boys as they flutter around in their butterfly wings, dragon capes, or blue bird feathers. And you’ll pack your smartphone full of trick-or-treat memories that will last a lifetime.
Join the fun with your own Halloween costume or grab a few spooky graphic tees for women.
Decorate the house with unique Halloween decor such as felt pumpkins and silly signs starting in early September to enjoy the magic for as long as you and your enchanting littles want to keep things creepy-crawly.
This season can be as playful or as spooky as you want it to be. Just make sure to lean into the magic before it vanishes—we won’t be in October orbit for another full year.

Halloween Graphic Tees, Party Decorations & Pumpkin PJs
Halloween T-Shirts for Women
Halloween graphic tees are the easiest way to up the ante on fall fun. You can pair them with jeans, shorts, maxi skirts, or even toss them over a form-fitting dress to make any occasion festive. My favorite Halloween t-shirts are the ones that reveal a little bit about your personality so that the other space cowgirls or bad witches can see and appreciate your specific brand of spice. Here are a few of the best Halloween t-shirts for moms and friends.

Unique Halloween Decor for Home
There’s nothing cuter than seeing your little monster fast asleep on a festive Halloween pillow with a smiley vampire as Halloween decor. I’m confident our Halloween decor options get better and better every year, including spooky signs, felt pumpkins, sherpa pumpkins—in leopard print!—Halloween banners, and ghost pillow covers. When I was a kid, my mom used a spider web fabric tablecloth year after year, and the thought of it gets me nostalgic for hot dog roasts and sticky caramel candies. Imagine the memories your kids will enjoy as they see you hang an Imani Collective banner up every year or place a Harvest Moon sign on the mantle each September (spooky season opening, as we like to call it).
Pumpkin Pajamas for Babies & Toddlers
You are not ready for this trip to the organic pumpkin patch. With 2-way zip rompers for infants to 24-month-olds and organic matching sets for 12 months to 5 years, your little ghoul gang will master the runway (also known as your front porch) this fall. Take a moment now to envision holding your PUMPKIN clad little PUMPKIN on your hip while sipping a PUMPKIN spice latte. That, my friends, is self-actualization. Take a peek at a few of the pumpkin pajamas and jack-o-lantern matching sets below and then shop the full line.

Cute Halloween Party Decorations
Whether your Halloween party is skeleton chic or spooky-scary, you’ll find the best Halloween party decorations here. Meri Meri knocks it out of the park every single time, and these vintage giant skeletons and honeycomb witch hat decorations are no exception. Crown yourself the queen of Halloween decor by selecting cute bat garlands, giant spider balloons, and Halloween balloon garlands (Seriously, who gave them the right to make creepy so avant-garde?) for your next big Halloween party. Go ahead and celebrate all the spooky things! Also: let’s take a moment to appreciate the wizarding world of your living room with these adorable Honeycomb owl Halloween decorations!

Halloween Tips & Tricks for Moms
The more we mom, the more we realize we want to make the most of every opportunity for special memories with our kids and loved ones. This year, prompt delightful squeals with the kids’ costumes, Halloween tees, and Halloween decorations that turn the holiday up to level 100. It’s the little, spooky things that make it magical.
]]>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.
