Dear Dad,

Sip and Ship looks forward to celebrating you!

Whether it’s treating your kids to their favorite salted chocolate chip cookie or helping them print that last minute history report - the best dads are reliable and show up to support no matter the circumstance, and we're proud to be in-step with you along the way.

At Sip and Ship, we see lots of busy Dads visit our stores each day. They are closing out another school year with more on the horizon, celebrating graduations, preparing for college transfers, and doing everything to make this season of change as special and memorable as possible. We treasure those moments from across our Sip and Ship service counters, when parents share stories about their growing children with pride and a touch of bittersweet emotion, knowing it's time to let them venture into the world. We know you've done your best to guide them, and while your role role as a parent will never truly be over, we look forward to hearing how it will continue to evolve.

As you navigate these transitions, we're here to support you every step of the way.

We are excited to honor all of the paternal figures in each of our lives, which will likely include firing up the grills, enjoying the summer sun, and sharing a sweet or silly card. Be sure to take a moment, pause in gratitude for the father figure in your life - who guided you in some way and share that with him or someone you love. Maybe the Dad in your life would love to go out for a morning walk, stopping for a treat at our full-service cafe. Where every pastry is baked in-house and made from scratch. While you're here we recommend checking out our selection of Dad gifts, which make the best base for any picnic or outdoor gathering.

Sip and Ship is the place for exclusive Ballard and Greenwood baseball caps, crisp mountain air scented candles, and Rumpl blankets - because Dad deserves to be pampered too! Whether you need a gift, a card, or a hearty cup of coffee, we’re here to help you show Dad some extra love this week.

P.S. Our friends at Twenty Pound Hammer in Ballard are organizing a summer fitness camp for teenagers! Check out this amazing opportunity to focus on strength and conditioning using weight training, olympic lifting, gymnastics and cardio.
