Where Everyday Errands Meet a Little Extra
​

May is Mental Health Awareness Month —a perfect time to notice what fuels your well-being. At Sip and Ship, we believe errands can offer more than just efficiency. They’re a chance to pause, connect, and care —for others and for yourself.

New this month:
We now accept QR Codes for all USPS services and some FedEx services (unfortunately, not UPS—yet ). There is a $2.50 label printing fee , waived with any in-store coffeeshop or gift boutique purchase —a great chance to enjoy our customer rave-- Ginger Molasses Cookie or Signature Vegan Walnut Date Bar . Take a few extra minutes during your visit to discover feel-good finds that support mental clarity and emotional wellness:

  • Daily journaling – For me, this is a meditative practice that brings gratitude and motivation into the start of my day.
  • Kitsch scrunchies – A simple top knot and a deep breath can change everything (Latina woman-owned).
  • Vitamasques skincare – Korean-inspired self-care that hydrates and soothes (AAPI woman-owned).
  • Danica Studio – beautiful embroidered bags for heading off to college, the next girl’s weekend, or that upcoming summer getaway (Washington woman-owned).


At Sip and Ship, we’re here to make the ordinary feel a little extraordinary—and to remind you that your well-being matters, every day.

With care and community,
Your Sip and Ship Team
