“Come with me and you'll be, in a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see, into your imagination
We'll begin with a spin, traveling in the world of my creation
What we'll see will defy explanation.” -Gene Wilder
​

Now that we have you humming that tune - we are certain the factories in your mind delight in the idea of sharing sweets and well-wishes with those you care about. All of our family, colleagues, friends, and neighbors - - especially now - - are in need of virtual hugs through the mail. Morsels of specialty chocolate can blanket those you love with extra kindness and care.

Like Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Sip and Ship turns fantasy into reality by keeping our gift shops brimming with chocolatey richness. While mailing a chocolate bar may seem simple, it’s a gesture that can bestow so much more.

Here’s a fun fact: not only are Seattle made Frans Chocolates President Obama’s go-to , but they compliment any occasion. Sip and Ship proudly supports other local and artisan chocolate makers: Seattle Chocolates , Compartes , Raaka , and MAST .

Swing by or visit us online, we are always glad to see you and hear from you!
