Union Holiday Gifts for Kids

Looking for great holiday gifts for the kids? We’ve got the answer – gifts made in the US, so you can do good, while making your children smile. Did you know that in the 1960s, nine out of 10 holiday gifts that Americans purchased were made in the U.S? Not so anymore, and working families – and our economy – are feeling the effect.

Throughout December, we’ll be focusing on holiday gift ideas that support good American jobs. By purchasing products made by American workers, you can feel good knowing that your gift will give back in a way that helps us all.

See below for a list of Union/American made gift ideas for the kids. We have a great list of Union made games here, and you can find a list of American made toys at All-American Toys. For other shopping ideas, from gifts ideas to everyday household items, visit Labor 411’s Consumer Products Directory – it’s the definitive source for discovering products made by union members.

We’ll also keep adding to the Holiday Shopping catalog on our website all month, so check back often.

Happy holidays!

In solidarity,
Labor 411
