When you mention eco-friendly or green gifts, most people of organic cotton clothing or items made out of 100% recycled materials. Well, let's step out of the box for a minute. We all know buying a locally made product is easier on the environment because it doesn't have to be shipped thus burning less fossil fuels. However, if you can't buy handmade gifts from artists in your hometown, consider simply buying American made(or from whatever country you reside in).
When out shopping, I was happy to find many gifts and stocking stuffers made right here at home in the USA. Considering our present economic state, it also encourages me to know my purchases are helping to support the American worker.
Here's what I found:
Greeting cards
Soy candle with lead free cotton wick
Stone coasters
Magnetic fridge note pad
Gum
Hand sanitizing spray
And believe it or not, a CHAIR! And this one was far less expensive than it's designer counterpart that had to be shipped from far away.
Look around-American made products are everywhere!
