Gift Guide: Made in the USA
While ‘Made in the USA’ simply means a product was made here, it also signifies a level of craftsmanship and care behind the item. Giving a gift that was made in America is giving a gift that will last for more than a few holidays to come. It’s all about leather goods, clothing, and other staples with a higher level of quality.
