| American Made Gifts for Birthday, Christmas, Father's Day |
IDEAS FOR FATHER'S DAY Gifts, CHRISTMAS Gifts, ANNIVERSARY AND BIRTHDAY Gifts-With Father's Day come and gone and nearly 8 months away, here are American products people liked so much, we've decided to keep the list and add to it so we are ready for 2009. Dad's seem to like American made tools and flashlights,for emergencies, all with that great label, made in the USA. Hopefully we will continue to find more to report on for you and remember, you need to buy things for Dad's birthday and Christmas. This American made list should help.
One of the interesting things we've found is the emergence of American Made Clothing. The Orvis catalogue for example lists three sport jackets made in the USA. They also have a variety of hats, belts, other leather articles including a few styles of men shoes. You can also see below some of the companies listed here who have sports equipment that should make most Dads feel special. There is Gold Mountain Mining Co. Carhartt, Stuart Nye, Moody Tools, and more, all with that wonderful label, MADE IN USA.
And for the under 12's who want to give gifts, here are a few ideas for no cost gifts, all having to do with work your father does around the house to make your life family's life comfortable. He will love these. You write down a description of your gift and put it in an envelope:
1) Car Wash, including the Inside Vacuuming.
2) If you live in a house with a garage, clean out the garage.
3) Continuing along the same lines: Brush clean gardening tools, including the lawn mower
4) If your dad has taught you about maintenance for the tools, you can do that such as changing the oil and oiling the various moving parts.
5) Clean out the attic and help to take the throwaways to the Recycling Station. As we said above, this works for Christmas and Dad's birthday as well.
