Can you believe it!?! Welcome to November 2021! While that washes over you, we wanted to take a moment to share a few things that are happening at Sip and Ship this month!

MON | November 8 : National Cappuccino Day
Order up! Who knew that dropping off your online returns at BALLARD Sip and Ship could come with a "Tall Cappucino To Go!?!" Our Ballard barista team awaits your arrival with FREE tape and the ease of printing off your DHL, FedEx, USPS and UPS prepaid shipping returns right from your home or phone. Email us your return shipping labels to us at [email protected] and we'll handle the rest while you sip a bit of warm sunshine in a cup!

SAT | November 13 : World Kindness Day
We believe that kindness is contagious and can't think of a better reason for you to jot someone a note and mail a smile on this day! It's truly astonishing how something so simple can deliver such happiness. All you have to do is bring in a letter from home or purchase ANY card from our shift shop and we'll put a FREE first class stamp on it. Our hearts are swelling up just thinking about pressing that stamp on that letter or card for you!

THUR | November 25 : Thanksgiving
Sip and Ship will be closed this day, so please plan ahead to collect your mail and packages. Ultimately, allowing you to sit back, relax and enjoy time with your family and friends with servings of gratitude.

SAT | November 27 : Small Business Saturday
Every year Sip and Ship looks forward to this event because we get to stock up on carefully curate specialty gifts, festive confections and gift wrapping flare so that we can give you what you need to get the holiday season off to a great start! We also view Small Business Saturday as an opportunity to come together as a community, join forces and through your purchases give back to two incredible organizations in the Seattle area: (1) The Duwamish Tribe - a people who came before us and whose land we are fortunate to conduct business on everyday, and ( 2) Mary's Place - an amazing team of individuals working hard everyday to serve, safeguard and help vulnerable women and children rebuild their lives from homelessness. We hope you'll join us in our mission to serve you and our shared community.
