The holiday season is here and at Sip and Ship we're ready to make your gift-giving easier than ever with exceptional gift wrapping and reliable shipping services —sending your packages straight from the North Pole!

Step into our Ballard or Greenwood locations, where the joyful rhythm of the season fills the air, accompanied by the inviting aromas of fresh coffee and oven-baked cookies. Our cheerful Sip and Ship reindeer and elves are hard at work, delivering the best service experience of the season with a smile.

This time of year fills us with energy and inspiration as we put our careful preparations into action. Against the cozy backdrop of a Pacific Northwest winter wonderland, Sip and Ship becomes your holiday sanctuary, handling your precious gifts and parcels with infectious holiday spirit.

Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and we treat each card, gift, and package with the utmost care. Thanks to our partnerships with USPS, DHL, FedEx, and UPS, the Sip and Ship Express ensures a fast, reliable journey—giving you peace of mind just in time for the holidays.

During your next Sip and Ship visit, treat yourself to a little retail therapy. Explore our curated selection of unique gifts and stocking stuffers —artisan chocolates, savory charcuterie, premium cooking oils, and more. Be sure to check out Sunlight and Breadcrumbs , a beautiful cookbook by local chef Renee Ericksen—it's a must-have for any home cook and will quickly become a go-to in your kitchen. Why waste time making extra trips to big-box stores or mindlessly ordering from Amazon when everything you need is right here? We can’t wait to help you find the perfect treasures this week!

P.S. The days between now and Christmas are dwindling but there’s no need to fret. It’s not too late to ship gifts to your long-distance relatives or besties! Here’s a friendly reminder of our holiday shipping deadlines .
