There is a version of Mother's Day gifting where you grab something generic on the way to brunch and call it a day. And there is a version where you actually think about her — what she loves, what she uses, what she would never buy for herself. This guide is for the second version.
Everything here is available at Beck + Brix Home in Hermosa Beach, and online with free shipping on orders over $150.
A Candle That Fills the Room with Something Real
A candle is not a lazy gift when it is actually a good one. The Voyage Et Cie Bali Gardenia ($32) is warm, floral, and unmistakably a quality pour. The Voyage Et Cie Bali Gardenia Candle ($70) is for the mom with more sophisticated taste — Gardenia blossoms infused with white flowers and hints of musk. If you want to step it up further, the SAINT Room Spray ($56) turns any room into somewhere you want to be.
A Coffee Table Book She Will Actually Open
The right book is a gift that sits on her table for years and gets picked up every time someone comes over.
For the mom who loves interiors and California living: Home By The Sea ($45) and Pacific Natural Everywhere ($50) are both beautiful and feel personal to this part of the world.
For the fashion and design lover: Chanel: A Fashionable History ($50) and The Essence of Gucci ($23) are both genuinely stunning objects.
For the mom who wants something she would never pick for herself: Slim Aarons: Once Upon a Time ($95) is one of the most iconic photography books we carry, and Architectural Digest: A Century of Style ($175) is the statement piece for the design obsessive.
Something to Wear Every Day
Gold fill jewelry hits a sweet spot — it looks and wears like real gold without the markup, and it layers effortlessly. Our J&D Co. collection is some of the most wearable jewelry we carry. The Gold Fill Flat Hoop Earrings ($54) are the kind of earrings she will put on without thinking. The Gold Fill Sparkle Chain Necklace ($48) layers perfectly with anything. If you want to lean into something more distinctive, the Gold Filled Hamsa Hand Charm Necklace ($76) has real character.
Something for the Table
For the mom who loves to host, the table is where she shows it. The Embossed Glass Decanter ($80) is the kind of thing she would never buy for herself but will use at every dinner party. The Corkcicle Cocktail Shaker ($50) covers the prep side, and the Drink Gems Wine Charms ($28) is the detail that pulls a table together without being precious about it.
A Throw She Will Reach For Every Day
A quality throw is one of those things most people do not buy for themselves but love having. The Woven Acrylic Blend Throw with Fringe ($92) is substantial, well-made, and the kind of piece that works on a sofa, a reading chair, or a bed. For a cleaner look, the The Woven Cotton Blend Slub Throw with Fringe ($118) is an understated choice that earns its keep year-round.
For the Mom Who Wears Her Sunscreen
If she loves the outdoors and takes her skin seriously, we carry a full Supergoop edit. The Unseen Sunscreen Stick SPF 40 ($32) is genuinely invisible and perfect for the beach bag. The Supergoop Glow Stick SPF 50 ($32) gives a subtle radiance that makes it feel more like a beauty product than a sunscreen. For something richer, the Supergoop Mineral Sheer Stick SPF 30 ($32) glides over skin with a naturally blurred-looking, soft-focus finish.
