For all the men frantically Googling "gifts for her" right now: breathe. This guide offers a curated collection of options that'll impress the women in your life, from indulgent self-care to designer accessories and personalized art. You're welcome.

Take the stress out of gifting with Here I Am's curated self-care boxes. This Long Beach-based e-commerce company hand-selects sustainable products from women-owned businesses — think luxe candles, organic skincare and wellness essentials — all designed to pamper and restore. Available at hereiambox.com.



For sophisticated accessories that last, explore Brighton's collection available at Citylights Streetwear on Second Street. This beloved brand features meticulously handcrafted jewelry, designer handbags and refined accessories designed in Los Angeles by master artisans. Each piece combines timeless elegance with fine quality materials and exceptional detail.
 

For an unforgettable gift, consider Fay Ray's custom ceramic portraits. Recently exhibited at Compound Long Beach (and featured in our May 2025 Ladies issue), Ray captures the tender embrace between mother and child in uniquely personalized sculptures. You can either purchase an archive piece or commission a custom sculpture (completed within four weeks). Either way, you'll be gifting a meaningful keepsake destined to become a treasured family heirloom.
