The Beauty Of Brick-and-Mortar

I am the first to admit, it can be so convenient to hit a button and have something you need appear on your doorstep - aside from potential shipping costs, delays, theft, and the wrong scent, color, or size. Shopping at your local retail shop or grocery store can not only be satisfying but completely rewarding. Like wearing your favorite shirt - the comfy, cozy, easy to wear one; a local brick-and-mortar establishment can easily be that place you go when you want to see, smell and feel. Leaving you with a sense of connectedness you’ll never find online. I love going into places that are welcoming, well thought out, smell good, and that are well put together - satisfying all of my senses. Sip and Ship enjoys being that place for you!
We’ve recently welcomed a few new additions - from the people, products and process side of things. Along with our seasoned crew, new team members, Lena and Leroy will be fluttering about taking care of you and your sipping and shipping needs.
A recent discovery from an outing to the Seattle Urban Craft Uprising event is Lulumiere- a collection of botanical, aromatherapy and therapeutic candles. Female founder, Lulu Takano is the local artist and creative force behind this beautiful line of products.
And, finally, finally, finally, our Greenwood store has a new addition that many of our employees have been asking for over the years - air conditioning! So stop by to enjoy a little break from the heat, while relaxing at your favorite brick-and-mortar shop - in Ballard and Greenwood.
Until then, we hope you’re enjoying these glorious days of summer!
Diana and your Sip and Ship team
