While Labor Day weekend calls for a suitcase of swimsuits and little else, there’s one objet that’s worth the extra weight: a carefully considered gift for the sweet hostess offering you a getaway.
Make the most out of summer’s last hoorah with Byredo’s zebu horn comb, perfect for detangling salty lengths. Frédéric Malle’s luxe citric magnolia-scented balm soothes skin after a day spent in the sun, while Dior’s shimmering clementine-and-lemon nail lacquers promise that the lady of the house will stride into fall on a bright note.
What’s more? In lieu of the commonplace candle and bottle of bubbly, opt for Cire Trudon’s hand-shaped Ex-Voto and Cilk’s pretty pink organic rose water drops that make any drink (and complexion) all the more sweet. Should you seek a more personal touch, look no further than La Bouche Rouge’s (sustainably made!) lipsticks: Each rich formula is housed in a keepsake monogrammed leather case. And for good measure, toss in Redecker’s handcrafted beechwood brush, specially suited to the four-legged. It’s sure to send tails wagging all around—and guarantee you an invite back for next year.
Below, 11 hostess gifts that capitalize on chic.
