My Buy American Christmas Shopping Journey


I try to buy stuff that was made in America for all my Christmas shopping. I've been doing it for a decade and was surprised to realize it has gotten easier.

The easiest place to go is etsy.com, where you can find unique hand crafted gifts made by artisans around the world. You can narrow your search to the US.

This year, I did an internet search for "made in america gifts". In the past, this has yielded overalls and socks or lists of expensive baubles. This time, I was happy to find more diversity with a bit more reasonable pricetag. Here and here.

Another good option is food. Who doesn't like a basket of brownies or fudge? I had a favorite auntie who used to send chocolate dipped apricots. It was so decadent. I hope these will aid my attempt at favorite auntie status.

Happy Holidays to all. Please comment below with any suggestions you have. I still have one gift to find!
