What Are Your Holiday Traditions?

12/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Some holiday traditions will be abreviated this year. What traditions are you keeping alive and looking forward to most? 

As strange as it may sound, on Christmas morning, sharing pigs in a blanket is one of our family traditions. There is something about the warm dough and the little smoky franks that bring our boys out of their winter slumbers, and downstairs to the kitchen for Christmas hugs and gathering around the tree. 

A family walk around the neighborhood is always in order. The holiday lights around our community are always a hit, and this year seem to be brighter than ever! 

​Yes, we are plannning to Zoom with family and friends this year, toast with our neighbors over our fence and stream the nutcracker ballet. Better days are ahead.

Here’s to all of you...hoping you elevate your traditions and/or find new ones to bring joy.

When You Walk Down The Street, Say Hello To Everyone You Meet

12/13/2020

0 Comments

 
Especially when you see friendly faces like these!

Meet Peaches, Paco, Archer, Truffle and Birdie, just to name a few of the dogs that live in our Ballard and Greenwood neighborhoods. They do an amazing job helping their families mail much needed Christmas cheer back home. In the process, they keep us connected, soothe stress, stir up laughter, and sparke hope that inspires the spread of greater holiday cheer.

We appreciate them, their families and look forward to more Sip and Ship encounters soon (the best trade off to COVID we could have ever imagined - since we have become a temporary to-go cafe).

Looking forward to seeing you and your four legged family members soon.

The familiar scent of eggnog lattes paired with the sound of Sip and Ship’s elves diligently wrapping and shipping gifts for Santa’s sleigh remind us that the holidays are here!

This year, while we can't be near to those dear to us, sending a merry little Christmas wish brightens their hearts with the gift of hope that someday we'll be together again soon.

December 15th marks the last day to secure December 24th delivery via standard shipping. We know there’s a lot to remember and a lot of distractions as we muddle through this tough year, so we’ve put together a printable schedule for you to reference with all of the important dates here.
​

The Sip and Ship team looks forward to helping you create your own merry little holiday this year,

Do You Remember Your First Job?

11/22/2020

You were probably nervous and excited about making a good first impression, to show up on time, wearing the right shoes? 
​

Do you remember your first paycheck? Scanning the envelope and making discoveries inside. What was the first thing you treated yourself to with your own money? 

How about your first manager and first set of co-workers? Did they inspire you, make you laugh or work harder? Or maybe your first job experience didn’t go well and you had to try again? 

Most likely, you took what you learned from those experiences to your next job to build on from there. 

Sip and Ship is like that for many of our employees. We are often their first work experience and what it’s like to become a member of a business team. Over the years we’ve heard you ask, “how do you hire such good people?” 

There really is no one answer, but what we have learned is that Sip and Ship looks for people-centric, team-oriented and compassionate individuals. From there, we provide them with an environment of mentorship and leadership. Creating a culture that embraces service through kindness and empathy for others. As a team, we are able to make mistakes together, learn together and grow together and view our partnership as an extension of each other. 

Team Sip and Ship is looking forward to providing you with a safe place to sip seasonal snickerdoodle lattes, shop for the perfect holiday card and gift, and ship ribbon-wrapped and tree ready packages to your loved ones during this very unusual holiday season. 

From our family to yours, please stay safe and may you find small joys throughout the season to celebrate.

December Hours: Monday-Friday 9am-6pm, Saturday 10am-5pm & closed Sunday.

Putting pen paper crosses the “t” with "thankfulness" and dots the “i” with “I love you.”

A thoughtful gesture of gratitude with a beautifully wrapped treat heightens the anticipation, happiness and enjoyment of the receiver. 
​

Sip and Ship understands the value of sharing and sending thanks to others in a variety of ways. This season, we look forward to helping your set the mood of gratitude. From hostess gifts to client appreciation through small acts of kindness that provide comfort and care, Sip and Ship has the perfect way to extend your gratitude to co-workers, friends and family - both far and near.


At Sip and Ship we believe that being able to take care of our team, helps them better care for you. Therefore, we plan to close both Ballard and Greenwood stores on Thanksgiving and the day after (Nov. 26-27th) to give our team the chance to celebrate with their friends and family and to rest up in preparation for a busy holiday shipping season. 

We will reopen our doors on Small Business Saturday (Nov. 28th) to help you stock up on your holiday gift giving. With any purchase, from coffee to cozy socks, Sip and Ship will donate 10% of your purchase to Mary’s Place as a way to extend our gratitude to you for your support and our work together to reinvest back into the Seattle community.

Sip and Ship Eases Election Tension...

10/25/2020

Could election day get here any sooner already!? As our anticipation grows for what will likely be another historic election season, aside from being a place where you can mail in your ballot, Sip and Ship shares ways we can help ease election tension over the next seven days:
  1. Share your favorite family recipe and make it from scratch! Every fall we bring back my Grandmother’s caramel sauce apple cake and serve it with great pride at Sip and Ship. What’s a family fave in your household?
  2. We invite you to take a moment to correspond with a former office mate. Mailing a “missing your face from our space,” note will go along way even if you see each other on Zoom. 
  3. Come grab a pumpkin spice latte coffee with your walking buddy.
  4. Make it a Netflix’s Night! We just watched  David Attenborough’s : A Life On Our Planet - it’s incredible and pairs well with a local red wine and a gourmet bag of Thai seasoned popcorn.
  5. Curate your holiday card and gift giving list - it’s never too soon to be sure you have everyone’s home address this year.
  6. Begin to set the mood with scents of the season in every room.
  7. Don’t wait! Take a stroll through your neighborhood or the WA Park Arboretum to admire the change of season.There is a crispness in the air and vibrant colors in the trees that truly reminds us why we live in the Pacific Northwest.​
During your visit into Sip and Ship, we invite you to share your experience with others on social by tagging us: FB Sip and Ship | IG sipshipshop - we look forward to staying connected and supporting you in all ways imaginable!
