get your holiday on in NKY
This year more than ever, our local businesses need your help to survive the holiday season. What better way to support them than to purchase gift cards for your friends and family to enjoy future experiences?
Gift cards are a wonderful gift, especially when they're for small, local businesses, tailored to the recipient's interests, and allow the recipient to use at their convenience, or all year long!
We've put together some ideas of favorite local experiences to help give you ideas of unique gift cards. This list is just a starting point of ideas in the Covington, Newport, and Florence areas, but there are many other businesses who would love your support to help them weather the effects of wintertime and the pandemic.
