Leatherman tools are manufactured in Portland Oregon. They are one of millions of excellent U.S.-made gifts, and last for many years.
Lodge Color is a Tennessee-based company that manufactures quality cookware.
This is excellent, anyone else have ideas about American gifts?
Fiestaware is American made, by the Homer Laughlin China company. It’s very durable (Homer Laughlin makes a lot of the dishes, cups, etc that are used in restaurants, so it has to be able to take a beating), and you can be sure that you won’t be eating off of anything that has lead in it.
Maglite flashlights are American made:

Mag Instrument is the only flashlight company with significant market share that still manufacturers its entire line of flashlights in the United States. Unlike its competitors, Mag Instrument has chosen not to outsource the manufacturing of its flashlights to foreign countries in order to take advantage of cheap labor and less stringent environmental standards, which may also result in inferior quality.
The outsourcing of manufacturing by other U.S. companies has caused hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of jobs in the United States to be lost. Indeed, if Mag Instrument had chosen the path of other flashlight companies, the jobs of its approximately 800 employees in Ontario, California would have been lost.
Yes!

I have the receipt and am returning this right now. If they have something made elsewhere, I'll exchange it. If they have only Chinese goods, I want my money back. If everything in the world is made in China now, I'll buy used from now on... It's pretty simple.
