The holiday hustle is behind us but winter isn’t over yet. Luckily, there’s an affordable go-to for cozy clothing and chic home goods. Zara is a brand known for their designer-inspired clothing (Kate Middleton frequently makes news sporting Zara fashion) but the store is also a hidden gem when it comes to outfitting your kids and your home. And as an added bonus, they’ve also committed to sustainability by using recycled materials and aiming for net-zero emissions by 2040. Give your kids’ wardrobe and their rooms a little winter refresh. From faux-fur rompers and Disney collabs to rainbow rugs and robot plates, check out our favorite new finds that you’ll love just as much as the kids will.

New year, new kid’s table set! Liven up the table with a three-piece retro robo-set which includes a cup, bowl, and a plate. All three items are made of stoneware, so the set is best for kids who are past the throwing-their-plate-off-the-highchair stage. Price is per piece, sold separately.

For some whimsy that can survive a tumble or two, opt for this dog-eared bowl that has the look of terracotta but is made of shatter-proof silicone. We love how the dog’s ears can hold food, too!

For canine-lovers, add some wizardry to their room with Magic Dog bedding. The palette is neutral enough to blend into a room, but the illustrated pups add a whimsical touch to spark their imaginations. Sold separately, you can get a pillowcase, fitted sheet, top sheet, and duvet cover to complete the look.

A cotton-poly blend rug in a pastel rainbow hue, this 35.5” x 59” rug brings gender-neutral colors to any nursery or kid’s room. We love how the rainbow motif comes in a calming color palette, and the fringe detail adds just that extra bit of playfulness.

Bundle up your bundle of joy in this adorable faux-fur romper. A hood and long sleeves with mittens keep them snug, and a wrap and snap front closure means you get them out of it quickly.

A cotton dress with a beautiful Bambi print in a neutral color palette that is just the right combination of cute and sophisticated for your discerning kiddo. The fabric is 99% cotton with 1% elastane at the waist. Note: This dress is made in sizes 5 years to 14 years. Honestly, we wish this came in grown-up sizes.

We can’t decide what we love more: the soft chocolate-colored apple pattern outer fabric or the cozy faux-fur interior lining. Available in sizes 6 months up to 5 years. Word of warning: the closure is only at the top (no bottom closure), so bathroom breaks or diaper changes involve pulling the entire jumpsuit off.

For a cuddly touch to any wardrobe, check out this backpack shaped like a snuggly koala bear. It’s just big enough to hold crayons, a coloring book, and snacks and comes with detachable, adjustable straps. It’s a good pick for travel, too, because the bear can double as a stuffie in a pinch.
