About
We're Nick + Gianna
And every plant we sell — every one — was rooted by hand. Mine. In a 200-square-foot RV.
This is the small story behind a small brand. We don't think it has to stay small forever, but we don't think it should pretend to be bigger than it is, either.
How this started
Sip n' Suc started on a windowsill. We were living full-time in a 200-square-foot RV — Nick was running a different business, I was building a UGC creator business — and somewhere between Joshua Tree and Morro Bay, I started propagating succulents.
It was an accident at first. A leaf fell off a plant I'd had for two years. I didn't throw it away. Three weeks later it had a root. Six weeks later it was a tiny plant. I started doing it on purpose. Then in batches.
Six months in, I had thirty succulents on the kitchen counter, ten on the windowsill, and six in the bathroom. Friends started asking. I started selling them out of the RV at farmers' markets in Morro Bay. Every one of them survived their first winter — which is the bar.
That's where the brand starts. Not from a business plan. From a counter.
What we sell, and why
Four things, paired the way they're actually used in our morning:
Plants. Hand-propagated by Gianna in our RV, using only the three or four varieties that survive forgetful watering and low light. Echeveria 'Lola', Haworthia fasciata, Sedum 'Burrito'. We tested all of them in our own apartment-equivalent first.
Coffee. One bag at a time, slow-roasted by a small fair-trade partner roastery — single-origin Latin American whole bean, with the actual roast date stamped on the bag. We picked this coffee because it's the one we drink, not because the bag photographs well.
Matcha. Ceremonial-grade, sourced from a small Japanese farm partner. Comes with a hand-cut bamboo whisk and scoop because anything less is a tea bag.
Ceramics. Hand-thrown speckled stoneware mugs from our pottery partner. Each one slightly different — that's the point.
The Sip Box pairs them: coffee or matcha, a small succulent, and a hand-thrown mug. One delivery, three small things that make a slow morning feel like a real one.
The promise we make on every order
100% Live Arrival Guaranteed. If your plant arrives damaged or doesn't survive the trip, email us within 24 hours with a photo and your order number. We'll send a replacement or issue a full refund within 2 business days — no questions asked.
We ship Monday through Wednesday only, to protect plants from weekend warehouse delays.
We propagate, pack, and ship every order ourselves. There's no warehouse. There's no fulfillment center. It's two people, one RV, and a small kitchen counter.
A day in our RV
Mornings start with coffee — because that's how we got here. The plants get checked: bone-dry soil, watering can, twenty minutes. Whatever order is queued in Shopify gets packed before noon, with a heat pack between November and March. Our pottery partner ships the mugs separately. The succulents go out Monday through Wednesday in kraft mailers wrapped in recycled tissue.
That's the whole operation. We're not pretending it's anything bigger.
Stay close
The waitlist is the warm channel — first access to new drops, first heads-up on Sip Box openings (we cap at 100 founding members at $99/mo for life), and a slow-morning email every few weeks from the RV.
From our hands to yours,
Gianna + Nick
