KeepAmerica.comIn this country, we're all aware of the state of the economy and how jobs aren't the easiest thing to find right now.  Some of the nation's job shortages can be attributed to companies seeking cheaper labor from countries overseas.  But in order to keep and create plenty of well-paying jobs here at home, we need to put our money where our mouths are...right here in the USA.  :usa:

The holiday season is a tremendous opportunity for everyone to support our local companies here in America.  Buying American made gifts from KeepAmerica.com will help our own economy thrive during these tough times.  Keep reading to learn more about the online source for all things made in the USA!

Il Bere Wine CharmsDuring the holidays, we all like to enjoy the company of family and friends and make merry.  For many of us, that includes cracking open a bottle of our favorite vintage to share.  Of course, being able to identify which glass is yours can be difficult when they all look alike and that's why wine charms were invented.

Typically, wine charms were designed to slide around the stem of a wine glass.  But what should you do if you weren't drinking out of a wine glass or other stemmed container?  Il Bere Wine Charms came up with a nifty solution for that...magnetic wine charms which adhere to the glass itself, so that they can be used on almost any drinking glass.

I reviewed the following wine charm sets from Il Bere Wine Charms:

Season's Greetings, which retails for $14.99.

Vintage Mixed 1, which retails for $25.00.

Papier de MaisonEven though new technology, like the Kindle and iPad, puts convenience and speed at our fingertips, sometimes a simple pad of paper and a writing utensil work just as well...if not better!

For instance, if I'm right in the middle of checking my email and I suddenly remember that I need milk from the grocery store, I don't want to scramble for my grocery list app right then.  It's easier in that case for me to jot down what I need on a piece of paper.  Unfortunately, there never seems to be a pen and paper handy when I need them...until now!

I reviewed the Marche de Fleurs Kindle Cover which retails for $20.00 and the Marche de Fleurs iPad Cover which retails for $30.00.

iMagnetI'm so excited that this year, Christmas has come early to my house.  I am finally a proud iPad owner!  Couple that with my smartphone and I'm a tech geek to be reckoned with.   :geek:  There's not an app I can't download or task that I can't accomplish now.  Of course, all of this technological prowess needs to be harnessed while on the go and when I need to be completely hands-free.

I've used several cradle-type devices in the past, but have always ended up picking my pricey gadget off the floor several times.  Is there anything on the market which will successfully secure your iPad or smartphone when it's not feasible to hold it yourself?  Let me introduce you to the iMagnet mount!

I reviewed the following two products from iMagnet:

Smartphone Mount which retails for $59.99, but is currently on sale for $19.99 with FREE SHIPPING.

iPad Mount which retails for $99.99, but is currently on sale for $49.99 with FREE SHIPPING.
Receive 10% OFF your Amazon order of either the Smartphone mount or the iPad Mount from iMagnet with coupon code "3WYWEK9U"

MCM Inventions, Inc. - Home of Toothpaste 2 GoIn the next few weeks, we'll be entering into the craziest travel season of the year.  Did you know that there are roughly 10 million airline flights in the U.S. alone?  And a large percentage of that number comes from holiday travel.  Everyone wants to reconnect with family and friends around the holidays which means that most of us will take to the skies or the roads to get back home.

Unfortunately, if you're traveling by air, you must comply with the TSA regulations concerning liquids for carry-on luggage and/or costly baggage fees for checked luggage.  While there's always been a way to make travel size toiletries for shampoo, conditioner, lotions, creams and gels, there hasn't been a way to make your own travel sized toothpaste from a full size tube...until now!

The Toothpaste 2 Go Travel Toothpaste Refill System retails for just $7.99.
Receive 10% OFF your entire order with coupon code "FRIENDS10" and receive FREE SHIPPING with every order $15+
