If you’re stumped for a gift idea for mom or a decor-obsessed friend, then this is your spot. This Santa Monica shop creates out-of-this-world floral and succulent arrangements and has all the best John Derian goodies. Our vote goes to the custom herb boxes, because who wouldn’t love a gift that makes their home smell like fresh mint, basil and lavender?
