I want to help create some g-darn jobs already, tired of my pay going to China instead of here at home. I have stopped purchasing cheap job killing crap, but I want to carry that further into the holiday giving portion of my year.
So, I've been trying to purchase Made In USA only for presents for my family this year. And I am kinda coming up short! I found some clothing at Justice Clothing, and a french press made in California, but I am really hoping for other modestly priced suggestions. Hint, Hint, Hint!
