It’s sweater weather in Seatttle and we can’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon than cozying up with a warm cup of cider and an even warmer smile —contemplating our holiday card mailing list.

Sip and Ship welcomes the orange, yellow, and red hues of autumn with a flurry of excitement for the holidays. There’s so much to look forward to and ways we hope to make your yuletide gatherings less stressful and more enjoyable.

To start, our holiday card collection is pretty special this year. Featuring women creators, BIPOC makers and local artists who we are proud to support and share with you! A few shop faves are by designer Misha Zadeh , animal lover Ana Cote of Modern Printed Matter and letterpress leagend Jai Teuber of Ilee Papergoods –with much more in our shops that you’ll want to see up close and in person. Our limited and carefully curated collections are sure to inspire you to put pen to paper and mail glad tidings!

On that note, Sip and Ship has Books of Stamps available at any service counter. Choose from a variety of holiday or everyday designs —with 20 forever stamps per sheet. Another way we strive to make your Sip and Ship visits convenient, pleasant and efficient.

We consider ourselves lucky to be the place you turn to get what you need, to make the most of your day.
