It's September and when that time comes I dance around my bedroom replaying Earth, Wind & Fire - September. I'm not sure when this happened but evidently, summer is over. I had a lot of canceled plans, many adventures that I work towards to look forward to. So many of us didn't get the summer we anticipated which is why I worked with my friends at Collins & Coupe to curate a limited time only special collaboration box!
The Tropical Escapism Box 🌴🏖☀️👙is a nod to all of the summer plans you didn’t get to do. Perhaps you didn’t get to celebrate your 40th birthday in Tulum. Or you didn’t get to go on your jaguar shark diving trip in Palau. Hawaii is still closed until October, no Tiki Oasis and no Indiana Jones adventures in Sri Lanka.
Send a tiki drink to someone who needs to get away!
Includes:
🌴 Palm Leaf Glass
🥤Reusable Straw
🗿 Tiki Shot Glass
🍹 Perfectly Cordial Caramelized Pineapple Coconut Mixer
🔖 Sticker with 10% discount on your next @collinsandcoupe
