SPRING 2024 - REKINDLE
The first flowers are beginning to poke through the earth in pale hues of ivory and yellow, heralding the arrival of Spring. The grip of the Cailleach loosens as Brigid brings her warmth and fecundity to the soil. The spark within that lay dormant through the winter begins to renew.
Spring is a time to set intentions, to plant seeds, to gently nurture our creativiity back to life. This box aims to do just that: to help you attune to your desires and needs for the year ahead so that they can be profoundly realized.
Featured:
- A 4 oz sugar scrub from Birch & Besom. The last snowdrop sheds its petals, shattering the long winter silence and awakening spirits from their slumber. Cozy yawns are replaced with gleeful squeals, as the vernal return of the fruit blossoms is cause for sunlit jubilation among the forest fae. Fae Blossom: Juicy mandarins, silky orchid blossoms and dragon fruit dew, nestled on a bed of sandalwood and sheer amber musk.
- A 5ml perfume from Deconstructing Eden. Resurgence: The last of the snowdrops, the first dew covered shoots of grass, lily of the valley, freesia, a cool misty Spring morning, and fertile soil.
- A trio of lollipops from returning favorite, Leccare Lollipops.
- A bar of luxurious glycering soap by Paintbox Soapworks. Digging for Fire: Charred cassia, sandalwood incense, burnt sugar, & a curl of woodsmoke. Contains cinnamon.
- A glittering 8 oz candle by Sihaya & Company. Rekindle: Gently nurture the return of your creativity with a steaming mug of oat milk spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, star anise, chamomile, and a dollop of honey.
- A tube of Sihaya & Company's moisturizing lip color. Snapdragon: floral pink shot through with lilac and aqua shimmer.
- A planner notepad, washi tape, and floral postcard to help you organize your thoughts from Splitmoon Studios.
SUMMER 2024 - MYSTIC MOODS
Did you become obsessed with crystals in the late 90's? Was everything in your bedroom blue, gold, and spangled with stars? Did you spend an unnatural amount of time at Natural Wonders or the Discovery Store? Did you listen to your Pure Moods cd (As Seen On TV!) so much that you needed to buy a backup? Do you spell "sadeness" with an extra "e"?
Friend, this is the box for you.
Featured:
- A celestially-inspired sticker sheet and roll of washi tape from indie darlings, Archmichael.
- A 1 oz pouch of loose leaf tea from returning favorites, Dryad Tea. Moon Phases: A soft, sweet caffeine-free tea for the evening, to view the changing of moon phases and the passing of time. Don’t forget to slow down and take time for yourself. Rooibos blended with honeybush, vanilla, and lavender.
- A stylish throwback from Minou Bazaar: a celestially-inspired bronze pendant paired with starry blue glass upon a decadent velvet cord.
- A 4 oz room and linen mist by Sihaya & Company. Return To Innocence: An earthy, incense-driven blend of woody sandalwood and palo santo accord with a touch of saffron.
- A glittering 8 oz candle by Sihaya & Company. Paint The Sky With Stars: Twilight violets, ripe blackberry, and soft magnolia petals.
- A cult favorite perfume by Sorcellerie Apothecary: Moon Magic: Lavender sugar, Tonka bean, chai spices, vanilla steamed milk, Cashmeran, Ambroxan, crystals charged by the moonlight.
- A pack of wax melts by Willow Waxcraft: Beyond the Invisible: Golden sandalwood, benzoin resin, oud, rose, soft patchouli musk, and a delicate, misty veil of rain.
The veil is thinning as All Hallows approaches. Wraiths begin to awaken in their crypts, their long, bony fingers scrabbling through the dirt. Unnatural lights are seen deep in the woods, distant shrieking trailing in their wake. Legends of yore prepare to ride again, dragging the unsuspecting into their macabre tales.
October is the month where things go Bump In The Night.
Featuring:
- A handmade sea salt bar from Athame + Alchemy. Spectral Mist: The air is thick with a ghostly presence, as a strange mist swirls around you. At first, you smell cold dampness, like the musty air of a forgotten crypt. This spectral fog is tinged with an unsettling blend of both natural and supernatural fragrances. The damp stone gives way to hints of delicate florals – violet, peony, lily, jasmine, and magnolia. The sweetness of the flowers is unnervingly out of place, mingling with decay and ozone to create a scent that is both haunting and strangely beautiful.
- A 5ml perfume oil from Death & Floral. The people you love become ghosts inside of you: Heavenly musk, lingering funeral flowers, cold scent of vanilla in an empty corridor, handprints on a foggy window.
- A coffin-shaped notepad from Paper Haunt to make lists for your lackeys so that they may carry out your dark bidding.
- An 8 oz, glitter-topped candle from Sihaya & Company. Howl: A flickering campfire, unearthly growls in the foggy night air, and the shimmering of eyeshine. Ginger and spice, smoldering woods, carved pumpkins, amber musk, and the last of Autumn's frostbitten blooms.
- A 4 oz room and linen mist from Sihaya & Company. Sleepy Hollow: The foreboding scent of flickering jack o'lanterns, oudh, leather, and unearthly incense.
- A gorgeous enamel pin from returning favorites, The Pickety Witch.
- A delicious package of maple chai marshmallows from the Vermont Marshmallow Company. Perfect for s'mores while you tell spooky stories by the fire!
WINTER 2024 - THE SECRET LIBRARY
The road ahead will be long and fraught with peril. It's more important than ever that we balance our fight with self-care, allowing our nervous systems to rest and recharge. Remember: this is a marathon, not a sprint.
To that end, I have decided to change the Winter Box this year. Typically, the theme is holiday-centric, but this year it is a love song to all my fellow bibliophiles. This deluxe box will include 8 full-size products.
Featuring:
- A selection of premade wax seals by Crimson Hour for all of your wintry corresponence. The designs will vary and will center on a cozy bookish winter theme.
- A 1.8 oz jar of Paintbox Soapworks' phenomenal Bookkeeper's Butter moisturizer to keep you page-turning fingers safe from the rigors of wintry cold. Hayley has even whipped up a custom fragrance just for us. Libris: the vanillic scent of aged paper with a drop of frankincense essential oil.
- A 5ml perfume from Poesie Perfume presented in their new dropper bottle. Bookish Brew: Poesie's Bookish (slightly sweet smell of aged pages and leathery covers), a warm sweater, and a vanilla oat milk latte with a dash of cinnamon.
- Also from Poesie Perfume, a 15 serving bag of their bestselling loose-leaf tea. Twice To Tea: Lavender Vanilla Earl Grey.
- A trio of dark chocolate delights from my favorite local chocolatier, Sweet Cascades. There will be a chocolate-dipped sandwich cookie, graham cracker, and pretzel, all dusted with edible snowflakes.
- A glittering 8 oz candle tin by Sihaya & Company. Solace: Rich santal, maple sugar, and the cozy warmth of a snickerdoodle cookie.
- A tube of Sihaya & Company's moisturizing lip color. Tabby Cat: An easy to wear nude with warm undertones. Vanilla toffee scent. Please note, if you'd prefer an uncolored balm instead, you may email us for a substitution.
