I have a lot of love for my country, and I try to make sure that I buy products made in the United States when possible, and with all the problems with toys made out of the country, I make a particular effort to buy American made kid products whenever I can. Of course, for a long time, I thought that the sole way to discover where items were made was to go through each item and check the bottom of each toy, or the tags of each piece of clothing.
I tried to do this whenever I went shopping, but it was a pretty daunting task and a lot of times I just didn't have the time to check everything, so after a while, I gave up and felt a little guilty about it. I didn't think that there was a solution to this problem until I was discussing the latest rash of toys made in Asia using lead, and was presenting a danger to our children.
The friend I was talking with had shared the similar opinion, that it is wiser to buy American made kid products, since they have high quality standards, besides the fact that they support the national economy. She then told me that she had come across an awesome website that sold products that were made in the U.S. that were ideal for all kids and were made with high quality.
I could hardly believe this exciting new and I quickly asked her where I could find this website since my son's birthday was coming up pretty soon. She happily gave me the web address, so I went home and logged onto my computer in order to find out more about these American made toys and see if there were any that might make a good gift for my own child.
As I looked through the website, I was delighted with the fantastic variety they had, and the excellent quality of the products, and before I knew it I had an enormous order. When I finished going through the toys that were offered through this website, I looked at my virtual shopping cart and found that I had put several dozen toys, way more than I needed, in there. Once I narrowed down my choices, I managed to get it down to a more sensible amount and then I went ahead and placed my order and waited anxiously for the toys to come. My kid loved each one of the toys, and it made me feel like the parent of the decade!
