2013 Union-made Holiday Gift Ideas
The holiday season is in full swing and American shoppers are set to spend an average of $800 dollars on gifts this year. By purchasing Union-made and American-made products, you can help to build a stronger America. If each of us spent just $64 on American-made products, it would create 200,000 American jobs.
Labor 411 is here to help guide how you spend your hard-earned dollars with our first round of holiday union-made gifts below. We will be adding to the Holiday Shopping List throughout the month of December and we encourage you to use the Labor 411 directory regularly during this shopping season.
Always strive for buying union, but if you can’t, buy American! ABC-TV continues their push for Made in America gifts with a new list for 2013, found here. More and more websites like TheGrommet.com have Made in the USA sections as well. Try searching “Made in USA” (include quotation marks) on your favorite website and see what you find!
Happy Holidays from Labor 411!

Omaha Steaks
4 (5 oz.) Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignons
This is the ultimate union-made indulgence. These juicy, tender cuts of beef are so delicious you are probably going to have to buy a few extra for yourself. Omaha Steaks provide a multitude of gift ideas for the friend or family member who truly appreciates a good cut of meat. We think the bacon-wrapped filets are a great, affordable place to start. Fire up the grill.
