A 2023 American Christmas Gift Guide
Elaine Atherholt |It’s Christmas time already and that means another gift guide for your patriotic friends and family! This is by no means a comprehensive list, but we wanted to pick out a few of our favorite all-American brands and give them some extra love during the Christmas shopping season. Without further ado, here are some fantastic American Christmas gifts to give (and receive) that also support local, American businesses who don’t give your money to causes that don’t serve you.
For Women
Surrender Your Story by Tara Sun
Tara Sun’s gorgeous book invites women of all ages to relinquish their anxieties and control and put their life into the hands of our Creator. Drawing on scripture and her own life experiences, Tara offers advice and guidance on how to “let go of your death grip on control and find freedom in surrender; learn how to truly trust God with the twists and turns of your story; depend on God as your source of strength; and move forward in faith, even in the face of life’s disappointment and setbacks.”
Surrender Your Story would be especially great for your bestie or any woman facing a difficult season.
Sourdough on the Farm
One of our new favorite Knead November partners has great gifts for the passionate bread baker or pastry chef on your list! Get them started strong with the Sourdough on the Farm sourdough starter, or gift them a lesson in successfully making sourdough! Jamie, the Sourdough on the Farm founder, also has bread tools like the dough whisk, and other fun gifts like hand-sewn aprons and cutting boards!
Jamie really inspired us with her breadmaking journey – starting with her weekly bakes with her children all the way down to her current store that helps feed not only her family, but her community! Sourdough on the Farm has grown a ton since its humble beginnings, and we’re honored to support this amazing AmericanMom!
Prois Hunting
Prois was founded by Kirstie Pike, who set out to create high quality hunting gear for women. Find everything you need from an all-American company that doesn’t support causes you’re against. All Prois clothing and accessories serve the specific needs of women while they are outdoors in all terrains. Prois sells hunting gear that supports all outdoor pursuits and passions including neck gaiters, gloves, boots, jackets, shirts, backpacks, and knives.
Some of our recommendations include the Tintri Lightweight Pant and the Greann Jacket.
For Men
Dr. Squatch
There is lots to love about Dr. Squatch’s soaps and personal care items. First of all, they are designed by men, for men! Which means that they focus on addressing any issues and needs that men would specifically have. It’s nice to have a space just for men, and Dr. Squatch makes that happen with their goal of educating men as well as providing high quality, non-toxic care products. Dr. Squatch also offers a Hero Discount of 10% to military personnel, first responders and medical professionals. Learn more about their other good work here, and don’t forget to grab a bar of soap, or one of their bundles before you go!
Serremo
A U.S.-based company, Serremo offers tactical clothing and gear primarily for men. From hoodies and jackets, to flannels and sweaters, to backpacks, gloves, and chest rigs, the Serremo goal is to provide high quality clothing and gear for outdoorsmen and hunters. They even have ghillie suits!
StopBox USA
StopBox USA was started as a solution to the plethora of firearm safes on the market that require batteries or rely on slow mechanisms or codes. Instead, StopBox technology requires nothing but your own hand and a hand gesture coded lock. Simple, yet incredibly effective, these gun safes are perfect for any gun owner who wants to keep their firearm out of reach of children, but still accessible when needed. Oh, and everything is made right here in the U.S.!
Try out the original StopBox.
