The Metropolitan Museum of Art is iconic (and not just because it’s where Blair and Serena used to meet up in “Gossip Girl.”) During my seven years in New York City, I was lucky enough to live close to The Met for three of them, and I’d pop in whenever I could to wander the galleries and enjoy the exhibits.
But here’s something not everyone knows: The Met experience doesn’t end when you leave the Museum steps. The Met Store is a treasure trove of products, publications, and gifts inspired by the 5,000 years of art from around the world in The Met collection, as well as the Museum’s own world-class exhibitions. Think jewelry, home decor, scarves, books, puzzles, and more—perfect for art lovers and collectors alike.
Even better, The Met Store’s Labor Day Sale provides you with the perfect opportunity to treat yourself or someone else. From August 29—September 1, 2025, get 25% off your online purchase of $100+ with code LABOR25. You’ll also receive free standard shipping on purchases of $100+.
To get you inspired, I’ve gathered seven of my favorite finds from the store. Ready, set, shop!
Willow Catkins Pearl Bib Necklace ($205)
Did you know The Met Store sells seriously chic jewelry? Case in point: this pearl bib necklace. The nature-inspired statement piece, plated in 18K gold and adorned with lustrous freshwater pearls, is as artistic as it is elegant. With its adjustable 16-inch length and 2-inch extender, you can wear it to dress up a sweater and jeans, or add shimmer to a cocktail ‘fit.
Its design celebrates a beautiful ceramic vase by Tiffany Studios in The Met collection, decorated with a delicate willow catkins motif. The necklace, which belongs to The Met Store’s Willow Catkins Pearl jewelry collection, also nods to the designer Louis C. Tiffany’s love of nature—his work often drew inspiration from wildflowers and plants like lilies, cattails, and ferns.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art: Masterpiece Paintings ($85)
Looking for the ultimate coffee table upgrade? What about the perfect gift for the art lover in your life? The Metropolitan Museum of Art: Masterpiece Paintings checks both boxes. It celebrates some of the most iconic works in The Met collection, doubling as both an account of the history of painting and an introduction to some of the world’s most beloved masterpieces.
Inside, you’ll find lavish color illustrations and close-up details of 500 paintings spanning 5,000 years, presented in chronological order. You’ll travel across cultures and continents, exploring art from Asia, India, Africa, the Americas, and Europe, all without leaving your living room.
Auguste Rodin: The Thinker Sculpture ($245)
The Thinker is one of the most iconic and instantly recognizable sculptures in art history, so this mini version of Auguste Rodin’s masterpiece instantly signals art-world cred. It’s a great way to showcase your appreciation for art, and it makes a cultured statement on any desk, shelf, or mantel.
This scaled reproduction is modeled from the bronze in The Met collection, originally cast around 1910 from Rodin’s 19th-century design.
Dehn: Avian Holiday Cards ($23.95)
I’m always scrambling to buy holiday cards each year, so I love getting a set ahead of time. Unlike your typical Santa Claus or snowflake designs, this set of 15 cards and envelopes feels fresh, artistic, and unexpected.
Each card reproduces Adolf Dehn’s whimsical watercolor Avian Holiday, featuring charming birds perched on a tree, celebrating the season. Inside, you’ll find an extra playful detail of Dehn’s birds along with a warm “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year” greeting. Plus, when you buy any box of holiday cards, you’ll save 50% on the second.
Van Gogh: Wheat Field with Cypresses Oversize Puzzle ($29.95)
If you love puzzles as much as I do (honestly, doubtful), this one is a must-have. The 1,000-piece puzzle brings to life one of Van Gogh’s most beloved summer landscapes, with enough colors and textures to keep each piece engaging.
It recreates Van Gogh’s iconic 1889 painting of the tall, sweeping cypress trees and vibrant countryside of Saint-Rémy, France. It’s considered one of Van Gogh’s most notable summer landscapes, and now you can assemble it piece by piece at home (or give it as a gift to a fellow puzzle lover).
Momoyama Cranes and Flowers Lacquer Tray ($128)
Whether you’re using them to serve drinks, as coffee table organizers, or simply as decorative accents, lacquer trays are amazingly versatile. This striking tray features cranes among seasonal flowers, drawn from a lavish six-panel folding screen created in late 16th-century Japan during the Momoyama period (1573–1615).
The vivid colors and strong ink outlines on the original screens are hallmarks of Kano Motonobu, founder of the famous Kano school of painting, while the boldness evokes the style of his grandson Kano Eitoku. This gorgeous tray brings a pop of history and color into your home.
Met Logo Canvas Tote ($40)
Chic and sturdy, The Met Logo Canvas Tote is the kind of bag you’ll reach for daily. Whether you’re running errands, hitting the gym, packing for class, or heading to the beach, this durable carryall has room for all your essentials. Featuring The Met’s iconic (and instantly recognizable) logo, it makes a stylish statement while connecting you to 5,000 years of art and culture from around the globe. Consider it your go-anywhere tote!
From elegant jewelry to iconic art reproductions, whimsical holiday cards, and chic home decor, The Met Store offers something for every art lover. Don’t forget: from August 29–September 1, use code LABOR25 to save 25% on your online purchase of $100 or more.
