How To Mail A Unicorn

Nothing says summer like sleepaway camp; a special rite of passage for kids as they spend uninterrupted time in nature, and pursue an adventure on their own! For some youngsters, it may also be the first extended period of time away from home. At Sip and Ship , we know that the bond between a parent and child is paramount. A unicorn of sorts, this type of love can be hard to describe with words, yet so special, invaluable and above all else magical. So, how can you reach them at summer camp with a token that encapsulates all of these emotions? A care package of course!

Our team is delighted to assist you in creating the perfect care package, and it all begins at our shipping counter with a USPS flat rate box. Often this is the best way to mail your unicorn box of happiness. Because it can be stuffed to the seams AND be delivered anywhere in the country within 2-3 business days for one reasonable price. No matter the destination, you can trust that Sip and Ship will provide you with the best value so you can deliver that indelible feeling.

There’s no other mailing center quite like Sip and Ship. While you're in the shop, feel free to explore our eclectic assortment of gifts and sure-to-please cafe treats! Both of our locations are stocked with summer necessities such as awesome summer tumblers in fun watermelon colors and perfect sizes to keep young sippers hydrated. Paired with a beach towel made from recycled plastic bottles, this eco-friendly and fast drying lifesaver is hard to resist for swimmers who can’t stay out of the water. Journals and letter writing kits are a necessity giving your happy camper fun tools to document their experience, and a means for them to send a quick “Hello Muddah, hello Faddah '' note home. Don't forget we have cool forever stamps too!

Add a little magic to your next care package with a confetti lollipop or a plush stuffed animal, small comforts for your camper when homesickness inevitably creeps in. Receiving a care package when one is away from home is an indescribable feeling, knowing that you are loved, missed, and being thought of from afar. And once you’ve finished mailing your unicorn care package, grab a bottle of one of Washington's finest wines from our shelves to relax and take some time for yourself before your happy camper returns.

Care packages and sleep away camps aside, Sip and Ship is a fantastic spot to escape the heat, write letters and mail them in the comfort of our air conditioned shop while sipping a refreshing cold brew.
