Our team takes pride in custom-packing your treasures with care and expertise, ensuring they arrive ready to spark joy and connection.

At Sip and Ship, we understand that what we pack isn’t just an item—it’s a piece of your history, passion, or future. Let us help you deliver the moments that matter most to the people you care about.

What’s waiting in your home to be shared? Let us take care of the packing and shipping details so you can focus on the journey of creating, gathering, and celebrating.

As a family-owned business, the Naramore family and our incredible team are always looking for meaningful ways to connect, support, and grow alongside our community. This little shop of ours thrives because of you, and we’re always inspired by the kindness, creativity, and trust you bring through our doors.

As we look ahead to 2025, we’d love to hear your thoughts. What did we do well this year? What could we do better? Are there new services or ideas you’d like to see us explore? Your feedback helps us reflect, improve, and find new ways to be of service to you and our greater community.

We’d be so grateful if you could take a brief survey to share your ideas and experiences with us here.

Reflect on 2024, Embrace the New Year, and Discover Services to Simplify Life and Business.
​
As we prepare to step into 2025, we at Sip and Ship are reflecting on the past year and setting intentions for what lies ahead. Every year, I choose a word to guide me—grounding my personal and professional decisions while inspiring courage and clarity. This year, my word is PUPPY . . . I mean FAITH.

Faith encourages us to trust in the unknown, adapt to change, and face challenges with resilience. None of us knows what the future holds for our families, communities, or businesses, but faith reminds us to keep moving forward with strength and optimism.

At Sip and Ship, we’re here to support you as you plan and prepare for the new year. Whether it’s through reflection, organization, or simply making your life easier, here are some ways we can help:

Why Choose a Sip and Ship Business Mailbox?

• Stay Professional: A dedicated business address adds credibility and keeps your personal life separate.
• Keep Your Mail Safe: No more missed packages or worrying about theft—we ensure secure handling of all your deliveries.
• Enjoy Flexibility: Access your mail when it suits you, with a trusted team managing the rest.

The Importance of Notary Services
From personal to professional needs, our notary services provide peace of mind for:

• Contracts and agreements that keep your business running smoothly.
• Travel and legal documents that simplify life’s important details.
• Quick, reliable support when you need it most.

Tools for Reflection and Renewal

Looking to start the year with intention? Find inspiration in our carefully curated collection of books and gifts. Titles like Manifest: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life and The Remarkable Life Deck can help guide your journey, while cozy blankets and thoughtful gifts bring warmth and joy to you and your loved ones.

As 2025 unfolds, let’s take time to reflect on the lessons of 2024 and embrace the possibilities ahead. At Sip and Ship, we’re honored to be part of your journey—providing tools, services, and encouragement to help you thrive. Together, let’s step forward with faith, courage, and optimism.

Sincerely,

Diana and Your Sip and Ship Team

The temperatures may be dwindling, but our holiday spirit is brighter than ever! 

​We can’t control the winter weather, we can always control our mindset by surrounding ourselves with positivity and practicing hygge. Our shops have been thoughtfully curated to do just that– bring the outdoors indoors– creating a warm and inviting space that is and is full of PNW magic and infectious spirit! 

Step inside, and let the demands and stressful to-do lists fall away as you immerse yourself in an atmosphere inspired by the beauty of nature. Today, we wanted to share some of our best tips to tap into the serenity of another wonderful holiday season. These tips are guaranteed to help you make the most of every moment, no matter what is thrown your way over the next 5 weeks! 

1. Spread cheer with holiday cards
Something as small as mailing a card can leave a lasting impression. In these increasingly digital times, receiving physical mail from loved ones near or far creates excitement and fosters a special connection. Sip and Ship is fully stocked with beautiful cards, stationery, and forever stamps for all your mailing needs and winter well-wishes! We’re also your go-to stop for holiday stamps, saving you from being stuck in the excruciating lines at the post office.

2. Embark on a weekday or weekend adventure 
Looking at beautiful light displays and Christmas decor, sharing laughs with your companion, and a toasty hot chocolate in hand, it doesn’t get much better than that! Whether you decide to stay in town or make the trip out to Leavenworth– here’s a list of some of our favorites. And while you’re away, no matter how near or how far, having peace of mind that your valuable packages and mail are secure is 100% worth it.

3. Shop small 
While we hope that you support small businesses like Sip and Ship every day, Small Business Saturday (Nov. 30) is an extra fun excuse to do some shopping with a friend and spread some love! A portion of every purchase made at our stores will be given back to Mary’s Place and the Duwamish Tribe. Shopping small makes such a meaningful impact and supports critical organizations in our community. 

4. Keep the spirit alive
Decorate the house with hand-picked retail items, seasonal garlands, cozy candles, and woodland creatures that are sure to spark delight! Our favorite candies taste even sweeter when they’re made locally, like Frans Chocolate and Seattle’s Chocolates. Stock up on all of these items and more at Sip and Ship! Personally, our favorite hostess gift is the squirrel salt and pepper shakers or holiday napkins.

With Thanksgiving this week, the holidays are officially in full swing! We hope this list helps you navigate these hectic times while being intentional, slowing down and savoring special moments with the loved ones we hold so dear. 

P.S. Both Sip and Ship locations will be closed on Thursday and Friday, November 28th and 29th, to give our team some much deserved time off and enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday. Our doors will reopen on Small Business Saturday, November 30th from 10-5, and we can't wait to serve our delicious cups of coffee and spark up happy conversations with each of you! See you then! 

Every holiday season, I find myself filled with gratitude for the amazing people in my life — friends, family, teammates, and our wonderful customers who bring so much joy and meaning into each day. This season, Sip and Ship is here to spread that same warmth and appreciation to you!

Our team has been busy preparing for every detail of your holiday needs, so you can relax and enjoy the season’s festivities. Step into our cozy winter wonderland, where we’re ready to handle it all — from gift wrapping to mailing heartfelt cards — with a level of care that turns your holiday errands into moments of "ahhh!" 


Our coffeshops are bursting with seasonal faves like our golden chai latte, and homemade ginger molasses cookies - bursting with warm spices and rich sweetness dusted with a touch of sugar for the perfect balance of flavor and texture. The ultimate cozy treat, along with other homemade treats make each visit feel like a festive break in your day. So whether you’re shopping or shipping gifts, sharing gratitude, or just soaking up the spirit of our enchanting atmosphere, team Sip and Ship is here to make every experience bright, pleasant and effortlessly easy.


Stop by Sip and Ship to experience a holiday season that’s all about connection, gratitude, and a little extra sparkle — one card, gift, sip, and package at a time.

First, our beloved and former lead barista and marketing maven, Megan Pavek, just got married to her best friend Charlie last week in beautiful Minnesota! While we miss her dearly here in Seattle, her radiant spirit continues to dwell within our Sip and Ship walls, touching not only our team but our shared community in ways that are beyond measure. We are cheering her on from afar as she embarks on this exciting chapter in her life!

In other exciting news, we are thrilled to announce that Caroline Dudley was promoted to Greenwood Sip and Ship Assistant Manager a little over a month ago and she’s already making her mark. Her dedication to service and her passion for connecting with both customers and team members have already begun to make a lasting impact. We are confident that Caroline’s leadership will help us continue to grow and elevate the Sip and Ship experience. Please join in celebrating her well-deserved promotion and the great things to come!

Last but certainly not least, after almost two years of devoted service, Emma Ebert, our head baker, has been promoted to Café Manager.
