We need to create real American jobs. American consumer purchases drive two-thirds of the US economy. How you choose to spend your money really matters. Imported goods are flooding the shelves of even small retailers like gift shops and galleries. American artisans create beautiful jewelry, pottery and glass. You can grow our economy and support American artisans by seeking out local gift shops and online galleries selling the best in American arts. Let's make this the year of the American gift.

They serve as a online database and search tool for finding locally and domestically produced goods. Basically, they can help you find any product made in your neck of the woods. Seems like an important step (particularly in these times) to keeping our money in local economies, reducing our carbon footprints and just having the peace of mind of actually knowing where the things we buy come from (sometimes that can be right around the corner!). Even when I can't find what I want in my region, at least I can find stuff that isn't too far away and know the story behind it. They're growing, so still adding more and more stores and producers everyday. I'm excited to be supporting that process! We need to keep adding vendors, check it out: www.locallectual.com I came across an important website called Locallectual. They serve as a
