There are endless reasons to buy holiday gifts this season that are made in America. On the recipient’s side, telling them the present you’ve wrapped up in a bow is U.S.-made will only make them appreciate it all the more. On the buying side, it’s not a bad idea for you, the gift giver, to set your own parameters for where you want your hard-earned dough to end up. And for those who are under the impression all our manufacturing has been shipped elsewhere, as it turns out, we still make some amazing stuff in this country.
Now, you’d think finding companies that make things in America to spend your money at would be easy, but the designation has increasingly steered into cliché territory in internet searches. For whatever reason, “American-made” has come to be associated mainly with heritage goods like leather wallets and cast iron. Did we include the latter in this list? Of course we did. (There are so many great new brands!) But we’re also prioritizing a more expansive collection of wares made in this country we call home.

InsideHook’s 2024 Gift Guide
We’ve scoured for and tested hundreds of products that’ll knock the socks off any deserved person on your list, and we’ve compiled them into handy, curated gift guides with all the best stuff 2023 has to offer.
Below, we’ve included the hat favored by Hemingway, a small-batch condiment that’s a great stocking stuffer and two bottles of whiskey to sand down the edges of your family gatherings, among other things. Some of these gifts are 100% made in the U.S., others are assembled here with materials from elsewhere, but we’d be happy to find our name on any of these this season.
