We are in the most wonderful time of year! Snow is in the mountains, lights are on the trees, and you get to wear that favorite cozy sweater. Sip and Ship loves this time of year, too. Gift wrapping, packing, and shipping are what we do best. This holiday season is special with the addition of family, friends, and significant others, all pitching in at our stores. You might even see some familiar faces who are back from college, helping out their Sip and Ship family.

My aunt Kyttie joined us from Texas to lend us her mad-baking skills. Stocking up our Ballard cafe with yummy in your tummy family recipes that complement any holiday shopping and shipping experience.

Carrie’s husband, Emilio is very sweet to offer to lend a hand at the Greenwood store, and we might never let him leave! Ethan was introduced to us by his good friend Gabby. Joined by Philip, Jane, and Dana they have wonderfully immersed themselves into Sip and Ship’s community service culture. Along with our newest team member Michael who came to us at the recommendation of Sip and Ship alumni, circa 2007, Sarah Parker who is now living her dream life in Brussels, Belgium.

Along with our stellar everyday crew, be on the lookout for guest appearances with our dear friend Tamara and returning college students; Jack, Sophie, and Mira, Amanda, and Ophelia. We love that they are sharing some of their time off with us and all of you, too!
With the holiday season officially in full swing, Sip and Ship is the number one place in Seattle where in one stop, we help you make the most of your time with shipping options, packing solutions, and gift wrapping services for all the lucky ones on your nice list.
​

We look forward to helping you make this holiday season the merriest and brightest yet!
