It’s that season of the year again when we turn our minds to the search for the perfect gift for those special someones. One suggestion would be to work backward – look at the lists of gifts made in the USA first, then decide who would appreciate what. The list below is really a list of lists – these companies make an assortment of products in their respective category. So you can stay inside and browse all kinds of stuff, all available online. A worthwhile secondary goal, in addition to pleasing the gift recipient, is to encourage companies that employ our fellow citizens and don’t have to ship their products across the ocean in container ships. So here we go – a reminder that American manufacturing is alive and well and available to meet your holiday shopping needs.
Made in USA Gifts: Keystone Candles Are Made in Pennsylvania
The Keystone Candle Company has been making and selling candles in the Pennsylvania capital of Harrisburg for over 45 years. Candles are popular during different seasons, such as the holiday season and winter. Of course, candles are associated with the holidays and decorations and are valued for their warmth and light during those long, cold winter nights. So these make ideal American-made gifts. They have a truly amazing variety of candles and accessories, some that I never even knew existed, so please check them out for any gift-giving occasion any time of the year. Their products showcase the quality and craftsmanship that America is known for. Here’s an example of a candle that you do not see every day – a scented candle in a 70 oz. jar that will burn for 170 – 190 hours. It’s available from Amazon, but I strongly recommend going to the web site and seeing the full range of candles and candle-related products of every description.
WeatherTech Makes the Best Floor Mats and More – A Great Gift
There are three noteworthy things about WeatherTech: how good their flagship floor mats are, the tremendous variety of products they offer and their dedication to domestic manufacturing. Let’s start with the floor mats. They are custom-made to fit your vehicle precisely, and that means precisely – they cover the floor down to the millimeter. They catch the snow, mud and water and hold it so that not even a drop can get through, showcasing their rugged design. They have a lifetime limited warranty as well. Your car floor (and your factory carpet or mats that you must remove) will stay in perfect condition. WeatherTech offers protective gear for nearly every car, highlighting their quality and durability. Next thing – the variety of things they make. Just go to their site and look around. They offer a wide range of gear for your car and more. Everything you could possibly imagine – protective covers for nearly everything inside and out of your car, cleaning supplies, dog bowls – even a mat to put under the Christmas tree. Their products are not only functional but also cool and trendy. Equally important, everything is made in USA. Definitely worth a look for all your car-owning giftees, making them a great gift option.

A well-known product always made in the USA, Leatherman multi-tools are designed to be compact and fit easily in your pocket for everyday carry. These multi-tools are crafted with precision and quality, ensuring they meet the highest standards. Once again, the recurring theme is that the company doesn’t just make one thing, they make many different things. Multi-tools are an example of all the different priorities there are. According to the site, they are offering 53 multi-tools (plier form factor) and 8 knives.
Leatherman multi-tools are superior in quality and functionality compared to other brands, making them the preferred choice for professionals and hobbyists alike.
Johnny Beard Bellows
Bellow are bellows – you pump them and the oxygen gives the fire what it needs. You can buy them in many places, imported from many places, but Johnny Beard bellows are a form of American made folk art. They are not just domestically made, they are hand-made in Oklahoma, just like they have been for almost 50 years. They work great, fell good in the hands, look beautiful by the fireplace and only improve with age.
