10 Made in America Gifts for Everyone on Your Holiday Shopping List
Ready or not, the holiday season is upon us. For those of us here in New England, that means sub-zero temperatures, twinkly lights, eggnog lattes, and more Christmas music than most of us are probably comfortable with. It also means we're starting to think about our holiday shopping lists with anticipation if not a tiny bit of dread. (You know what we mean -- I can't possibly get my dad another golf shirt this year.) At Chelsea Clock we're not just dedicated to manufacturing fine timepieces in America (which, ahem, happen to make great presents), we think it's important to support other USA-made goods as well. So here you'll find our favorite made-in-America gifts for everyone on your list this season -- because continuing to support your local purveyors is a wonderful way to harvest the holiday spirit, and will truly be a gift that keeps on giving.
