The Beach-Lover Mom's Dream: Mother's Day Gifts from WLB Designs
The Beach-Lover Mom's Dream: Mother's Day Gifts from WLB Designs
Give Mom the ocean — no sandy car floor required.
Mother's Day is right around the corner, and if your mom is anything like mine, she comes alive near the water. The sound of waves, the smell of salt air, the way the light plays on the surface — it's pure magic. But what do you give the woman who loves the beach more than anything, especially if she can't be there every day?
Enter WLB Designs — handcrafted beach resin art made right here in the USA by Whitney, a fellow beach lover who figured out how to bottle the ocean and bring it home. Every single piece is one-of-a-kind, made with real sand, highly pigmented resin (no acrylics or paints!), and poured in small batches so no two pieces are ever exactly the same. Just like the ocean itself.
Here's a roundup of the most mom-worthy pieces in the shop — whether she's a sea turtle devotee, a charcuterie board hostess, or someone who needs a statement piece above the couch.
🐢 For the Mom Who's Ocean-Obsessed: Sea Turtle Wall Art
Starting at $21.95 | wlbdesigns.com
Customers literally say the photos don't do it justice — and that is saying something, because the photos are gorgeous. This sea turtle wall art features multiple shades of ocean blue layered with real sand to create a painting that looks like it belongs in a coastal gallery.
Whitney handcrafts each piece individually, meaning your mom gets something truly unique that no one else in the world has. Want to make it extra meaningful? You can send in sand from a favorite beach — a honeymoon spot, a beloved family vacation destination, or even a local shore — and Whitney will work it right into the piece. Whitney also creates memorial pieces using ashes for moms honoring someone special.
"This is so beautiful!! Pictures do not even do justice! All the details are perfect! I'm in total awe of this and will forever treasure this!" — Emily
🧀 For the Mom Who Loves to Entertain: Beach Resin Charcuterie Boards
Starting at $45 | wlbdesigns.com
Does your mom light up when she has people over? The beach resin charcuterie boards are a showstopper on any table. Swirling ocean blues and whites are poured onto gorgeous wood boards, creating a functional piece of art that guests will talk about long after the brie is gone.
Available in several styles — round olive wood boards with a handle, surfboard-shaped boards, and classic rectangular boards with or without handles — there's a style to match every mom's kitchen vibe. You can even add laser engraving (a name, a special date, a little quote) to make it completely personalized.
Hand wash only, and oil occasionally to keep the wood happy. These are built to last.
🌊 For the Mom Who Needs a Statement Piece: Surfboard Wall Art
From $450 | wlbdesigns.com
If your mom has been saying for years that the living room needs something, this is the something. The 6-foot surfboard beach resin wall art is an absolute showstopper — a full-size surfboard transformed into a flowing, layered ocean scene with multiple depths of resin that catch the light differently throughout the day.
This is an investment piece and a conversation starter. It's the kind of thing that gets passed down. If budget is a consideration, WLB also makes smaller surfboard cheeseboards starting at $45 that carry the same coastal spirit in a more compact (and cheese-compatible) format.
☕ For the Mom Who Deserves a Beautiful Morning: Ocean Resin Coaster Sets
Starting at $25 | wlbdesigns.com
Every morning coffee ritual deserves a little coastal calm. The round ocean resin coaster sets are handcrafted with the same beautiful resin technique as the larger pieces — swirling blues, real sand, that unmistakable depth — and they protect her furniture while making her desk or side table look like a boutique coastal inn.
These are also a wonderful option if you want to give something meaningful at a more accessible price point. They ship well, look stunning, and remind her of the ocean every single day.
❤️ For the Mom Who's Sentimental: Personalized State Shaped Art
Custom wall art from $70 | Ornaments from $21.95 | wlbdesigns.com
Does your mom have a state that means the world to her? The state she grew up in, the beach town where she honeymooned, the place she always dreams of returning to? WLB Designs makes custom state-shaped beach resin wall art and ornaments in the shape of any US state — filled with that same gorgeous swirling ocean resin.
"Last year I left California, the only home I ever knew... This piece has sand in it from my hometown! It's absolutely beautiful and one of a kind!" — Katrina
There's also the personalized initial letter ornament ($18) if you want something small, sweet, and monogrammed with Mom in mind.
🧜 For the Mom Who Believes in Magic: Mermaid & Jellyfish Wall Art
wlbdesigns.com
For the mom who is slightly convinced she was a mermaid in another life (you know the one), the mermaid and jellyfish resin wall art pieces are dreamy, ethereal, and undeniably special. Multiple shades of blue combine with real sand to give the illusion of looking into the actual ocean — with a mermaid or jellyfish gracefully moving through the depths.
Each is individually handcrafted, so the exact colors, patterns, and proportions will vary — which means Mom's piece is genuinely hers alone.
