Gifts For Him
It’s hard to find more durable workwear than 1620, let alone stuff that is made in the USA. The end of the year is the time to buy, too. This is when they run some of their only sales of the year – they are having a big sale on their best-selling pants right now!
Fox River Socks are some of my favorite for working out, hiking, and everyday wear. They have a ton of cuts and styles available, making them the perfect stocking stuffer for that eventual pair of socks that everyone gets.
Camel City Mill makes some of the most comfortable wool work socks out there. Everything is made from US-sourced Merino wool, and they come in a few different thicknesses.
Shockoe Atelier is an upscale menswear brand. If you want your man to have some new raw denim jeans, a nice overshirt, or other stylish apparel, give their inventory a look.
I bought three pairs of grown&sewn pants and shorts earlier this year, and I don’t think I’ve taken them off yet. Seriously, they are that good.
Buck Mason tees are a classic. Super soft and will be a staple in the closet. Just stick to the tees, though. Most everything else from Buck Mason isn’t made here.
Does a man in your life have aspirations of building the ultimate home gym? Check out PRx Performance. They make American made squat racks, barbells, and other workout equipment.
If you’re looking for more of a canoe pack or some different styles than what NutSac has to offer, check out Duluth Pack. Another great pack maker made in the USA.
Unique wallets and other small leather goods that are a perfect gift for any guy. The more you use them, the cooler they get.
Bradley Mountain has a ton of great American made apparel and accessories for guys. You can find the big present and all the stocking stuffers here.

Nothing says “I love you” like gifting some patriotic gear. Freedom Fatigues has lots of great t-shirts, hoodies, hats, and other apparel for guys and gals.
Winter gear is always a great gift for the holidays, and Sullivan Gloves are some of the best made in the USA leather gloves you can get. They have a ton of options, they fit great, and are super warm. I have a pair and where them constantly in the cold weather.
These are my favorite sneakers, hands down. I wear them every day! Barefoot-inspired, super comfortable, and they look great with just about anything.
Sandals are a great buy for the holidays because they are probably on sale. And what better way to support these American made businesses than buying their stuff in the offseason? Okabashi sandals are affordable and comfortable. A great gift for ladies, too.
Gifts For Her
If she’s still stealing your hoodie, get her the Classic Full Zip hoodie from American Giant, and I swear she will never take it off. My favorite of all time.
If your girl likes to travel in style, get her a piece of hard-sided ROAM Luggage. Their luggage is totally customizable with a ton of color options, so she’ll certainly stand out the next time she’s walking through the airport.
Hackwith Design House has a great selection of women’s clothing made in the USA. Just make sure to ask her sister for her opinion before you buy 🙂
If she’s a little more outdoorsy, get her a bag from North St. Bags. Made from recycled materials and available in some loud colors, these bags are perfect for the next outdoor adventure.
Here come the stocking stuffers – Farm to Feet is hard to beat for the inevitable pair of socks that everyone gets in their stocking.
You can’t go wrong gifting leggings and comfy clothes. Groceries Apparel has some of the best, all made from natural dyes.
I bought a pair of Upstate Stock fingerless gloves for my girlfriend while we were traveling around in the New England area – I don’t think she took them off! So comfortable and warm. Check out their beanies and other goods too for great stocking presents.

Other Great Gift Ideas
Authenticity50 makes some of the most comfortable American made bedding around, and the holidays are when they run some of their only sales of the year.
