Whatever your holiday needs, why not do something that supports jobs and living wages here in the US?
Why not hunt down some of those modern rarities: items made in the USA?
If you get discouraged looking at item after item only to discover they are made in China, try searching "made in USA" on REI or other major retailers' websites.
(try not to weep when you do this on LL Bean... lo, how the mighty have fallen)
Give the gift of a viable domestic economy this holiday season!
--------
ETA: LL Bean has 156 items made by workers in the USA. REI has 3,989. I know where I'll be shopping...
TE, for some reason, has only 1. That just can't be right. http://www.teamestrogen.com/search.e...form-submit=go Susan! Help! Why doesn't this pull up running pants made in Portland OR and Burley products and Smartwool?
