She loves her guests. She loves them enough to be honest. The evening has a runtime, and the credits roll at nine.

This introvert gift posts the house rules where everyone can read them. Please Leave By 9 Pm. Warmly. Firmly. Non-negotiably.

Who this is for:

• The host whose social battery has a published schedule
• The homebody who wants company and then, precisely, does not
• Anyone needing a funny hostess gift with boundary-setting energy
• The friend whose pajamas are waiting and whose patience is not

Scent for the countdown. Lavender for the 9:01 exhale. Vanilla Bean for the post-guest reset. Cinnamon Chai for the solo nightcap she earned. Lovely evening. See yourselves out.

What you get:

• 9oz candle available in an amber or clear glass jar
• Vegan blend of coconut, apricot, and soy wax with a small amount of food-grade paraffin for structure and scent throw
• Clean-burning, biodegradable, and free from toxins, parabens, and phthalates
• Cotton wick
• Printed in the USA
• Makes a gift she will actually keep

Guests: delightful. Deadline: firm. Candle: the closing announcement.
