Mamma Mia
Mother’s Day is this Sunday, so you still have some time to pick a great gift. If flowers and candy won’t cut it for the mom on your list, we have a few other ideas.
Rock Shop
Remember when you used to rock ‘n’ roll? For gifts with a little dge, head to the Rock Shop at Hard Rock Casino. From their classic T-shirt to a fun take on Rosie the Riveter, along with funky bags and even local specialties, you’ll find something cool for your mom and probably yourself, too.
While you’re there, you can grab a bite, have a drink, see a band, or play the slots, so you can also give the gift of time.
Rock Shop is at Hard Rock Casino, 1000 Broadway. Hours are Sunday to Wednesday 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.; Thursday, 10 a.m. – 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m.– 12 a.m. More info at www.hardrockcasinocincinnati.com/rock-shop.
Shop Charbon
Based on the idea of “fashion, fun, and friends,” Shop Charbon was started by two sisters, who named the store after their parents. Inside you’ll find plenty of family photos tucked in among items, making it feel more like you’re browsing you’re stylish friend’s closet than shopping.
This women’s boutique is stocked with adorable clothes, quirky accessories, and home decor items, including the iconic Capri Blue Volcano candle! The store also hosts events – from bra-fittings to spray tan demos – that help create a fun sense of connection for shoppers.
Shop Charbon is at 5671 Rapid Run Road. Open Monday to Thursday, 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.; Sunday, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. More info at www.facebook.com/FUNFASHIONFRIENDS.
