While Tina Turner can still be heard belting out the question, Sip and Ship has a few renditions in response. First, whether you believe in cupid or not, loving relationships are not built in one day but rather a little bit each day. Secondly, here are a few ways you can share your love in creative and wallet-friendly ways at Sip and Ship:
​
​
1. Savor Your Love
These days handwritten cards are considered keepsakes. Inside one, share your favorite memory or meal you’ve experienced with your special person/people. Trust me when I say that they will save and revisit your sentiments for years to come.

2. Show Your
Who doesn’t love a treasure hunt? Consider hiding a handful of love notes with sweet quotes or sayings on them, each one leading to a fancy box of chocolates, scented bubble bath or experience in the end. You decide!

3. Send Your Love
There is nothing more thoughtful than a handwritten note and beautifully wrapped gift compared with something that arrives drop-shipped in a bag! Select a few specialty chocolate bars or champagne gummy bears and we’ll happily put a ribbon on them for mailing or hand-delivering to your sweetie.

Stacks of pastel business cards neatly arranged on a wooden table, with teal, beige, and gold sets.
Pink satin ribbon tied around a gold gift box on a pale background
Cozy café with shelves of packaged goods, a counter, and a barista behind the register.
