A Guide to Guesting Well

There’s nothing better than being invited away for the weekend. What a luxury—to be looked after, long meals cooked, salty swims planned, soft landings encouraged. But as any seasoned guest knows, an invitation is only the beginning. And there are a few quiet rules worth remembering:

Arrive (a little) late – everyone needs a bit more time to pull things together and exhale before you get there.

Leave early – you want to be missed, not managed. It’s always better to leave them wanting more.

Bring something good – thoughtful, useful, a little bit beautiful. Everyone loves a present, even when they say they don’t. For the first two, you’re on your own (but don’t say we didn’t warn you). For the third, we’ve got you covered—with a few of our favorite things for every part of the house. Just right for summer weekends and generous hosts.
