Pedal Wagon Cincinnati Local Holiday Gift Guide 2020
2020 has been a year for the books. While we can celebrate that it’s finally almost over, it’s now more important than ever before to help and support local businesses in our community so they can try to end the year on a positive note. So, what’s the best way to do this? Shop small and shop local this holiday season!
We’ve put together a list of some of our favorite local holiday gift ideas and even some fun ways to safely celebrate this holiday season. Not only are gifts from small businesses usually more unique and carefully made, your support really goes a long way since many of these companies have worked twice as hard this year, jumping through hoops to get them ready for you safely.
- Perfect for any craft beer or Cincinnati-lover, Northern Row Brewery & Distillery has an awesome orange & blue hat that would make anyone happy this year. Plus, everyone could use some of their hand sanitizers (because, 2020), so throw them in everyone’s stockings! And, if you’re looking for a way to take a break from holiday shopping, head into their taproom for a delicious beer or drink.
