Host a Pizza and Pastries Party with Firecracker Bakery

This locally owned bakery is beloved for its beautiful (and delicious!) pastries, and as one Yelper, Carolyn B. raves, its interactive programming. Pizza and Pastries gives kids the opportunity to make their own pizzas and decorate pastries while learning about business and entrepreneurship from the owner of the bakery herself, Lynn. A Pizza a Pastries Party at this Sharonville biz is sure to make a great gift for all the young chefs on your list!

See a Show at The Children’s Theater of Cincinnati
For a truly memorable and entertaining present, gift tickets to a show at The Children’s Theater of Cincinnati. This children’s theater regularly puts on beloved shows that Yelpers rave about.
