Write it. Address it. We’ll stamp it.

Hi there,

April is National Letter Writing Month — and we think that calls for a little celebration.

At Sip and Ship, we’ve curated a beautiful assortment of cards for every reason and occasion you can think of: welcome spring, thank you, Mother’s Day, graduation, new baby, new home, new job, sympathy, and the ones that just say I was thinking of you. No occasion needed.

The hardest part is usually finding the right card at the right moment. So we did the finding for you.

Come in, browse our collection, settle into our sitting area with a Lavender Fields Matcha— our seasonal spring latte — pick up a pen, and just start with something simple.

Thank you for showing up for me. I’m so proud of you. I’ve been thinking about you lately. No reason — just because.

Six words or sixty, it doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be sent. When you’re ready, we’ll put a first class stamp right on it.

Introducing The Card Collector

Buy 4 cards, get your 5th one free (of equal or lesser value). The perfect way to stock your stash so you always have the right card already on hand when the moment arrives.

Offer valid during the month of April 2026 only.

Of course, April also means tax season.

And we’re ready for that too.

If you’ve got documents to clear out, our shredding service is a safe, easy way to get it done — right here, no fuss. And if something needs to be notarized before it’s filed or sent, our notary service is available with no appointment needed. That said, it’s always smart to give us a quick text before you head over so we can be ready and waiting for you.

Text us directly at 206-794-7886

Some things are worth writing down. We’ve made it easy to do just that — whether it’s a heartfelt note or an important document.

We’ll see you soon.

With warmth,

Diana and Your Sip and Ship Team
