At Sip and Ship, we believe in the magic of meaningful pairings, whether it’s a heartfelt message with a decadent treat or a moment of connection over something simple yet special.
One of our longtime Ballard customers, Robert, understands this deeply. Married for over 40 years, he cherished every meal his wife lovingly prepared from scratch—especially her handmade chicken dumplings, whether floating in a warm, savory broth or fresh from the steamer basket. After losing her to cancer, Robert found himself navigating life without her warmth, her presence, and, of course, her cooking. Since he doesn’t cook, he seeks nourishment in other ways. For him, stepping into Sip and Ship and being greeted with kindness reminds him of the warmth from that dumpling basket. Instead of homemade meals, he now reaches for our gluten-free Walnut Date bar, often purchasing four to six at a time. Our team carefully wraps each one, tucking them into a simple brown bag—unsuspecting to most, but to Robert, it’s a small comfort that he looks forward to enjoying in the quiet of his home.
Because some pairings aren’t just about flavors—they’re about memories, connection, and finding warmth in unexpected places.
This Valentine’s (and Galentine’s) season, we invite you to celebrate the joy of thoughtful pairings with us:
Chocolate with Artful Wrappers + A Frame-Worthy Love Letter
Some chocolate bars are so beautifully wrapped they double as keepsakes. We collaborate with artists worldwide, bringing you bars wrapped in designs that deserve a frame. Pair one with a romantic card, and let your words be the true masterpiece. As simple as “you are my favorite human.”
Chocolate, Sardines, and a Card as Unique as They Are
That’s right! No chocolate sardines here, but we’ve got chocolates, cans of sardines, and even cards featuring sardines. This quirky combination is perfect for someone who loves a little whimsy. Paired with a one-of-a-kind card, it’s a gift that’s as unforgettable as your own love story.
Wrap Yourself in Love – Treat Yourself First, So You Can Share the Warmth
Self-love is just as important as romantic love. Picture this: a cozy walk wrapped in the warmth of a soft sweater adorned with little hearts—a reminder that you are perfect just as you are. Whether you’re curling up with a good book, binge-watching your favorite series, or writing a heartfelt note to someone special, let this be your reminder: you deserve to be wrapped in love every day.
Sugarfina Red Velvet Chocolates + A Sweet Sentiment
Nothing says “I adore you” quite like red velvet chocolate. Enclose a Sugarfina treat inside a beautifully crafted card, and watch their heart melt faster than chocolate on a warm day.
At Sip and Ship, we’re all about making your expressions of love as magical as the love itself. Whether you’re celebrating yourself, a budding romance, a lifetime of devotion, or the sweet joy of friendship, our collection of cards and chocolates ensures you’ll always find the perfect match.
Because just like love--Sip and Ship’s pairings always win.
Come in, explore, and let us help you find the perfect pairing this Valentine’s season. After all, the best gifts aren’t just things—they’re moments, memories, and the love we wrap them in.
