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!
