See What’s on Kelly Wearstler’s Wish List for Mother’s Day
The celebrated design virtuoso curates a thoughtful selection of special items full of sentiment and style
California designer Kelly Wearstler has cultivated a distinctly layered style with interiors that complement refined architecture using exquisite materials, stirring palettes of earthy tones, and dramatic sculptural furnishings, many sourced from her expertly curated gallery of collectible design. Her creative vision has also informed highly coveted collections for Farrow & Ball, Serax, The Rug Company, and more, as well as turned elevated hotels—such as the Proper locations in Austin, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and San Francisco—into design destinations.
As a discerning collector herself, Wearstler knows a thing or two about selecting just the right piece, seeking out special items that speak to one’s individual style. So Galerie looked to the mom-of-three for her suggestions for Mother’s Day gifts that are both considered and chic, perfect for the mom in your life.
1. Zuma Espresso Cup and Saucer Set | Serax
“I designed this set last year in partnership with Serax. It’s perfect for morning coffee or afternoon high tea. I think beautiful glassware is a timeless gift that can make a special occasion out of moments shared over a meal or drink.”
2. Linea Mini Espresso Machine | La Marzocco
“This is a great gift for the coffee loving moms in your life. The Linea Mini is a petite but chic take from La Marzocco; its smaller structure brings another level of versatility.”
3. Sunrise Silver Shoulder Bag | The Attico
“I’m always carrying around a bag, so I know firsthand how important it is to have. It’s especially fun to give to someone else a statement piece. The Sunrise shoulder bag is perfect because it feels like a classic, but it’s also pretty unique.”
4. Nymphaea Caerulea Fragrance | Régime Des Fleurs
“Similar to candles or incense, perfumes are a great Mother’s Day gift. Scents can be quite sentimental, instantly taking you back to a special moment or person. This Nymphaea Caerulea fragrance from Régime Des Fleurs is a personal favorite—each is made to order, adding a personal touch.”
5. Graffiti Silver Tray | Christofle
“This silver catch-all tray makes for such a fun Mother’s Day gift. The graffitied expressions of love and gratitude are a special gesture; they’re reminiscent of children’s doodles and notebook art.”
6. Celestial Black Diamond Eye Masks | 111Skin
“Self care is always a great treat for moms. These eye masks are some of my favorites for an instantly rejuvenated look and feel.”
7. Tabi Knee High Boots | Maison Margiela
“When you look good, you feel good. These boots are perfect for mom to wear on her next night out.”
8. Samarcande II Chess Set | Hermès
“Games are a great gift because they can get the whole family involved. This one is a fun, sculptural take on chess and not only functional, but doubles as coffee-table décor.”
9. Sprocket Vase | Floris Wubben
“This structural vase is a playful, architectural take on your everyday vessel. It’s the perfect extra gesture and an added design touch to accompany a Mother’s Day floral arrangement.”
10. Les Mains Hermes Nail Polish | Hermès
