Insight Computers is in Tempe, Arizona. They located there because of low outbound shipping rates (lots of trucks bringing stuff in, and leaving empty). They thought of moving but this was such a great advantage they’ve just stayed there.

Here’s an AZ based internet brownie business. Free shipping to military, too – double good deeds!

For the ladies (or guys looking for a Mother’s Day gift)– I found Queen of the Night products through Arizona Highways magazine two years ago. The scent is named for a desert cactus that blooms only one night a year.
I can definitely say that the quality of the products is high; have reordered several times. They make great gifts, too. From the website: “Those who wear the women’s perfume often also love the lingering essence of our scented candle in their home. This makes it an especially popular choice for Southwest gifts and Arizona souvenirs.”
Also Sabaku Nature Art clothing. The name is Japanese but the garments are designed by Nancy Lenches, a Tucson field biologist turned artist. All of the garments are made in USA, not in China. I’ve worn the shirts for six years and just love them. The business is a small one run by Nancy and her husband.

The Volks-Ware company itself, which began as a woman-run business offering hiking gear and other sturdy outdoor stuff for women (back in the days when the quality stuff was all sized for guys), is also based in Surprise, AZ, a suburb of Phoenix. (Guys– they also carry unisex items and have some great online sales. Enjoy!)

Well, this is a shame. When I saw this post, I was reminded of some deliciously spicy pistachios my parents got as a Christmas gift this year. When I checked out their web site, I was disappointed to see they are from New Mexico, but they are good none the less. Let’s keep them on our list in case New Mexico wakes up also and passes similar legislation.

Shamelessly stolen from HillBuzz’s website posts. They are advocating an Arizona BUYcott!
I hope people who do the travel thing will TOUR ARIZONA.
I HOPE ORGANIZATIONS WHICH HAVE CONVENTIONS will book the Arizona convention centers.
OH
