Fall is one of my favorite seasons of the year and November is my favorite month. As the leaves change colors, temperatures cool with a crispness in the air, November is the time of year when Sip and Ship begins to prepare for its busiest shipping season of the year. Right now we are bringing in seasonal gifts, stocking up on shipping supplies and on-boarding and training a support team to best support you during your visits.

November also represents a time of gratitude - my favorite Sip and Ship core value.
​

Research has shown that harnessing gratitude can enhance moods, decrease stress, improve overall well-being and result in more satisfying personal and professional relationships. ​

Sip and Ship was designed to simplify your life and serves up daily doses of gratitude - one cup, one gift and one package at a time. We are genuinely thankful for the opportunity to serve you and your business needs, and look forward to seeing you in Ballard or Greenwood soon. Here is a glimpse of our expansion project in Greenwood - opening November 14th!
