American Made Holiday Gifts

With Christmas fast approaching, have you done your part to support American Made products.  While many people still have some shopping left to do, I urge you to actively try to buy American Made.  Having surprised myself this holiday season, I have found many products that are Made in the U.S.A. and many products that were not.  Although it sometimes feels like an impossible challenge to buy American Made products, I promise you it can be achieved.  What I have found to be most helpful is take the list of gifts still left to buy, then Googled “American Made________,”  Then I find out where they are sold locally, so I can go pick them up and support our local economy.  In my endeavor this holiday season to buy products produced in the United States I have been pleasantly surprised to find many American Made brands, that I plan to continue purchasing from.

As a producer of American Made Store Fixtures and constantly trying to compete with mass production store fixtures from overseas, I can assure you I understand the frustration for finding American Made products.  Although a challenge, by doing your part, it does have an impact on the economy, supports American jobs, and will help bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States.

In addition, by limiting how much we purchase from abroad we can close the gap from the amount we import to the amount we export.  As a nation that was built on infrastructure and producing products domestically, we have skewed from our founders vision, but need to rejoice around the foundation and rebuild what we have let slip.  By increasing GDP (Gross Domestic Product), we will increase U.S. jobs, equalize the global marketplace, and help rebuild our economy.  With an increase in the amount of Americans working, and American companies paying taxes in the United States, it also will help pay down the nations extraordinary debt as well.

In an effort beyond patriotism, buying locally and buying American Made goods is vital for the long term success of our nation.  Having personally made a vow to support American Made goods, I have realized the challenge, but embrace the opportunity to help this great nation and get excited when I find that Made in the U.S.A proudly stamped on the item or package.

So with little time left before Christmas and many Holiday Celebrations ahead, I ask you to please make a diligent effort to support American Made products.  With products like Ocean Tamer Bean Bags, Scorpion Gourmet Hot Sauce, among thousands of other American made products, there are many products to complete that gift list and support American Made products built by people like you and I right here in the United States of America.

I would like to “Thank You” in advance for doing your part to support Made in America products, and may you have a Wonderful Christmas and Holiday Season.
