This Made in USA gift guide includes something for everyone, from the safe body care product to a statement coat , all of which were handpicked not only for being made in America, but for their awesomeness.
For this post, we collaborated with Christine from Beyoutiful Hope, a blog in which she shares ethical fashion finds along with her spiritual journey.
If you wonder why we love Made in USA, read this. In short, there are 4 major reasons why we like made in America products:
- Companies are held accountable for their shortcomings in a much greater extent that certain overseas manufacturing facilities.
- Minimum acceptable standards, like minimum wage and basic workers rights.
- Public pressure: as consumers are much less tolerant of corporations violating civil or moral laws.
- Producing in-house allows more capital to stay in the country, contributing to job creation.
