Americans spend a lot of money on holiday gifts. Beyond the pleasure of finding the right thing for someone you love, wouldn’t it be nice to feel a little bit good about where your money was going? There’s probably no such thing as the perfect business, of course, and consumer dollars are never a substitute for strong policy. But here are some places you might want to look in that last-minute holiday shopping rush: The AFL-CIO has a union-made holiday gifts guide ranging from See’s Candies to Joseph Abboud suits. Or maybe someone you know would appreciate a nice Harley-Davidson, which is certainly in your gifting budget. The Alliance for American Manufacturing has its Made in America holiday gift guide with something from every state: sleeping bags from Alabama, jewelry from Alaska and Arkansas and Oregon and Rhode Island, toys from Arizona and Colorado and Indiana and Pennsylvania, and much more. The DoneGood shop allows you to search for products from mission-driven companies. You can choose to highlight companies that are eco-friendly, empower workers, give back, are woman- or minority-owned, or manufacture in the U.S., and ones that make products that are organic or GMO-free, recycled or upcycled, toxin-free, cruelty-free, or vegan. Take a look and see if you can’t find some gifts to feel good about buying as well as giving. Read more
