Hear from some of the companies themselves about why #MadeinAmerica matters.

There's just two weeks left until Christmas, and it's officially crunch time for wrapping up (ha! get it?) your holiday shopping.

Chances are there is at least one person left on your gift list. If that's the case, check out the 2019 Made in America Holiday Gift Guide, which features an eclectic range of gift ideas at a variety of price points made by manufacturers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and even Puerto Rico. If there's nothing on the list that interests you, the guide also links to our gift guides from previous years, and if you can always check out the Made in America Directory.

O.K., look. I know what some of you are thinking: Why bother buying something that's Made in America at all? Why does this even matter?

While we're big proponents of Made in USA here at the Alliance for American Manufacturing, we know that not everybody cares about it as much as we do. That's why we made the video below, which outlines why buying American-made matters.

We know it can be hard to find Made in America items at the big box stores or down at the mall. We put together the gift guide every year to help make things a little easier to shop. 

And when you buy American-made products, you can feel good knowing that you are supporting companies that create local jobs and provide a boost to their local communities. Chances are, you'll also find a really great product too. 

We hope you shop #MadeinAmerica this holiday, and all year round.


The Made in America Holiday Gift Guide is intended to highlight companies that support American jobs and that make great products in the United States. We rely on the companies listed to provide accurate information regarding their domestic operations and their products. Each company featured is individually responsible for labeling and advertising their products according to applicable standards, such as the Federal Trade Commission's "Made in USA" standard or California's "Made in USA" labeling law. We do not review individual products for compliance or claim that because a company is listed in the guide that their products comply with specific labeling or advertising standards. Our focus is on supporting companies that create American jobs.
