Women of Cincy Gift Guide: Fall 2018
I’ll be honest: I’ve never been a huge fan of summer. While others may yearn for sunshine and swimming pools, I’m all about the crisp autumn air, changing of leaves, and the feeling of getting back into the swing of things. And if the annual pumpkin spice latte craze says anything, it’s that I’m definitely not alone in this.
The great entrepreneurs of our city help to make this an especially exciting time of year, and we’re delighted to share with you a roundup of the goods, hangouts, and haunts we’re most looking forward to this fall. From gear we need for weekends in and not-your-average school supplies to apparel that helps us sport our neighborhood pride, these ladies have us covered.
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, and 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.
