Description

Elixir of Hydration: Luscious as a lover's lips and tart as a royal betrayal, The Elixir of Hydration is a Pink Lemonade electrolyte blend that’ll revive even the most dramatic chosen one. Made with Himalayan pink salt, potassium, and magnesium for long-lasting hydration, it will have you feeling refreshed and regenerated from the very first sip. 

Elixir of Inner Light: Radiant as first light on a castle wall, The Elixir of Inner Light will brighten the broodiest day and boost your sense of optimism over time. This blood orange blend stokes your flame with vitamins D and B12, reishi mushroom, and ginseng extract, with benefits that build over time. 

Elixir of Serenity: Soft as starlight sigh and peaceful as a midnight sky, The Elixir of Serenity is a dark cherry blend that ushers in a sense of ease with calming adaptogens and amino acids. Made with functional ingredients that hush even the loudest thoughts—L-theanine, ashwagandha, and GABA— this blend soothes the nervous system and thins the veil without drowsiness.

The Cap is an unstructured cotton twill in Stone, with a curved visor and adjustable buckle closure. One size fits most. 

The 21oz cotton tote is 14” x 10” x 5”. It’s perfect for carrying your essentials all summer long. Color is as pictured, not swappable between kits.

Frequently asked questions

What's included in the kit?

Each Trope-ical Vacation kit includes a custom canvas tote and twill cap, a box of 15 elixir sachets, a surprise gift-with-purchase book from one of our partnered authors, and a postcard penned from the perspective of one of their beloved characters.

Wait, I don't get to pick the book?

Nope — that's the magic of it. The book is a gift with purchase from one of the authors we've partnered with for this campaign, hand-selected to match the kit's trope. You'll know the trope going in; which author and title you get stays a surprise until it arrives.

What's the postcard exclusive?

Each kit includes a written exclusive from your book's author — a piece penned from the perspective of one of their beloved characters, just for this campaign. It's inside a vellum envelope sealed with a wax seal sticker.

What color is the tote/hat that comes with my kit?

Merch ships as pictured with each kit and isn't swappable.

Can I return my kit?

Because each kit includes a consumable elixir, we're not able to accept returns on the kit as a whole — but we always want you to love what you get. If something's not right (a damaged item, a book that's not your thing, anything else), reach out to us at hello@drinkvelvethammer.com and we'll work with you on a solution.

Is this a one-time purchase?

Yes — Trope-ical Vacation kits are a one-time purchase, available while supplies last.
Because this is an exclusive limited drop, these bundles are excluded from our discounts and promotions.

What size is the hat/tote?

The tote measures 14"W x 10"H x 5"D. The hat is adjustable, one-size-fits-most, unisex fit with a buckle closure.

What are the tote and hat made of, and how do I care for them?

The tote is made from sturdy 21oz canvas with embroidered front and back detail — spot clean as needed. The hat is 100% cotton chino twill with a curved visor and adjustable buckle closure; spot clean and air dry to keep its shape.
