Join us this week to celebrate all of the amazing moms out there (including dog-moms, cat-moms & plant-moms)! This is their time to feel that sense of appreciation, support, and love. For all the first-time moms who are struggling with early, late, and constant feedings, lack of sleep, and the mixed bag of emotions. Pet Moms who walk their fur babies in the rain and have perfected the poop scoop. Moms who are masters at helping with homework, school projects, taxi driving, and getting everyone together for family time. The shoulder to cry on, the ear to listen - her arms are always there to hug or hold onto. Moms do a lot, we know it, you know it - this is our time to show it!
As always, Sip and Ship has curated a wonderful collection of cards, gifts, chocolates, and new this year - flowers! This year we’re excited to announce that Ballard Sip and Ship will be hosting a fresh flower pop-up for Mother's Day Weekend, Saturday, May 7th. We are partnering with Friendly Hmong Farms, who will be selling fresh cut flowers and bouquets in front of the Ballard store starting at 10:00 AM and continuing until their gorgeous bouquets last. Come grab a delicious Wildflower latte and expression of love for mom.

Gift set with pink ribbon, candle, chocolate, and card reading “Thanks for putting up with my shit.”
