About Holiday Gifts from American Makers
Choose by the way they spend their day
For a light everyday carry, choose the Sergeant firehose wallet, made by Recycled Firefighter in Cape Coral, Florida. It holds 4–8 cards and cash folded into thirds. For someone who enjoys a warm scent at home, the Orange + Clove candle is hand-poured by Slow North in Austin, Texas.
The cook's option is a hardwood cutting board from Sacramento woodworker D'ondra at workboots&glasses. Choose the small size for a $45 product price; larger boards cost more. For a dog lover, Sniff and Shift makes freeze-dried beef liver treats in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Check with the owner that beef fits the dog's usual diet.
