Where story meets season.
Let us introduce you to
A seasonal reading experience designed to help you pause, live in rhythm with the seasons, and savor a meaningful story.
Each seasonal edition includes a curated reading companion and optional apothecary-inspired rituals, brought to life through tangible objects—some handmade by Elixir + Quill and some sourced by local makers.
Whether you use the box…
to gather your closest book-loving besties for a curated book club
or to steal a few minutes of solitude in the quiet of your book nook— our hope is that our box will serve you in your current season, however you choose to use it!
We were searching for a book box experience that offered
and when we couldn’t find one, we created our own.
That invitation to pause lives at the heart of our work—and it’s guided by five simple principles.
-
Choosing presence over the pressures of hustle culture.
-
Tangible, sensory touchpoints—books and rituals—that help bring us back to ourselves when life feels scattered.
-
Honoring the natural cycles of light, rest, and renewal rather than expecting the same pace year-round.
-
Simple, meaningful rituals that help restore your energy—so rest and reflection become part of everyday life.
-
The ability to direct your energy toward the people and pursuits you love—because you’re no longer running on empty.
Co-founded by two sisters — one with a passion for wellness, the other with a love for story — Elixir + Quill was born from a shared desire to help women slow down, reconnect, and rediscover themselves through the rhythm of the seasons.
Blending the worlds of wellness and storytelling, we curate immersive book club boxes filled with cozy reads, intentional rituals, and thoughtful gifts designed to nourish both mind and spirit.
Released with the solstice and equinox, a new box arrives as your invitation to rest, reflect, and realign—because care, like story, is best when shared.
Elixir + Quill was built on connection—between story and soul, season and self, and reader to reader.
If you have a question, thought, or note to share, we invite you to reach out.
