What an awesome idea ! I'm all for it. I bet my kids didn't get a single gift last year that was not made in china. I honestly looked at the packages in toys r us and wal mart last year and I couldn't find a single thing made in the USA. Everything was chinese. I'm sick of it.
Anyone got any ideas for american made children's gifts??? That's about all our Christmas spending consists of. We don't have the money to buy gifts for adults since we have two kids now.

I've become pretty conscious of the country of origin on most products. Some are very hard to avoid buying an imported product. Keep in mind there are a lot of American made tool companies still around. Who with a 4x4 habit couldn't use a few more tools? Some of them include Wright, Snap on, Mac (some still us made stuff), SK (they have overcome bankruptcy and are being made again), Proto (most hardline tools are still US), Craftsman (starting to go imported), Some Bosch powertools, Armstrong, Matco, Bondhus(allen keys and stuff), etc.

Nick-
I have heard that Little Tikes has many American-made products... and I found this list on the internet http://www.toysmadeinamerica.com/ Problem is, it probably won't contain many of the electronic gadgets that kids love so much. |

Even then, the screws holding the toy together could be imported from China. |

It's getting hard to find anything made in the US - I just noticed this past week during Halloween the Perpermint Pattys were made in Mexico and the 3 Musketeers were made in Canada

M&M's and Twix are made in Tennessee. Engergizer Batteries (Tennesee), Duracel (Georgia), Snap-On Wrenches (near Bristol, TN), Sun-beam toaters and toaster ovens (TN), Visio Flat Screen TV's (Assembled in California at least with parts from all parts of the globe and some US made parts), Power-Wheels (many models made in GA), Snapper mowers 7 snow blowers (GA), MTD mowers and snow blowers (TN), Sam's Club and Walmart Cakes come from huge Bakieries in TN, GE stoves and refrigerators (AL, GA & TN). Bosch appliances (TN). Electrolux refrigerators (SC), Huskavarna riding mowers (SC). Goodyear and BFG tires (AL).
These are just a few I can think of whose plants I call on. I know some of these are expensive on the gift side, but if you are thinking appliances or power equipment there are many ways to support families nearby by buying these products any time of the year.
