Women of Cincy Gift Guide: Winter 2019
Ahh, the holidays! It’s the time of year when we get to spend quality time with our friends and families, eat lots of good food, curl up with our pets, and buy a bunch of presents for people we love.
Gift-giving is already something we put a lot of money and energy in. But it’s even more stressful when you’re trying to be an ethical shopper and a sustainability advocate. Luckily, Cincinnati has shops that offer low-waste, responsibly made items that anyone on your list would be thrilled to receive.
Items featured in the Women of Cincy Gift Guide are either made or sold by local, women-owned and -operated businesses. Because simply put, we believe that where you spend your dollar matters. By being more intentional with where we put our hard-earned cash, we can both support and celebrate the women bringing us the goods, building up communities, and making Cincinnati a great place to call home.
