American Made Christmas Gift Ideas for Men

Growing up I had heard time and time again, that buying for men was so difficult.  I would overhear the ladies at church discussing what they could get their husband, or ladies in our family discussing what they should get their sons. Many times the general consensus was a necktie! When I reached marriage I had in my mind that buying my husband birthday, or Christmas gifts was going to be socks, neck ties and well, boring.

Boy howdy, was I wrong! Let me tell you what I found out… those ladies were shopping in the wrong places! There’s an abundance of creative options out there that the men in your life is sure to love.

While socks are needful and still often under the tree Christmas morning with my husband’s name on the package,  I learned there’s many tremendous gifting options out there!  I have found that I now really enjoy buying for the men in my life. It can be a challenge and you may not get to shop in your favorite boutique or online shoppe, but you will definitely find some awesome products.

The list below are outstanding American made products I found.

I do want to make sure and pause to stress the importance of buying American made for your man. Whether you’re on the hunt for that perfect Christmas gift for your dad, husband, brother or grandpa, chances are that man of yours has or is working. I was blessed to have married a true blue, all American cowboy. He’s the hardest working man I’ve been around and I consider myself very lucky for finding him. (Or him me, depends on which one of us you ask!) After seeing him work out in the elements all year long, providing for our family and doing his part to keep our great country in motion, I want to make sure my purchase for his Christmas will go towards another working, American family’s income. I want to step up and be mindful of who my Christmas giving is benefiting beyond my gift recipient.

By buying American made, you’re giving back into the economy that your man (and you yourself!) are trying so hard to help succeed. You’re investing in a workforce that your children or grandchildren are preparing to enter. You are helping chances for them to have a strong future. When you make purchases that have the  “made in USA” label on them, you let the company, big or small, know that it’s important to you that they keep their production State side. With that in mind, let’s be mindful this season to double check for that made in USA label!

  Duke Cannon is now my husband’s grooming brand of choice. We’ve gifted Duke Cannon to brothers and uncles over the years. They have several cool gift sets if you’re not sure where to start.
