Since March i've been on this train. I've been surprised what you can find made not only outside of China, but here in the US if you really look - most everything except certain electronics.
None of the Christmas gifts I bought this year are made in China, most are made in the USA. Feels good man.
Scouring the internet. There is stuff out there. When buying gifts you also may have to shift or narrow the types of gifts you're looking for. For example, very few electronics are made in the USA of course.
Assembled in USA is also something to look for.
I avoid buying on Amazon, but their reviews and Q&A sections for each product usually has info from buyers about where stuff is manufactured.
I try my best to only eat at or pick up from these days local restaurants as well. Screw big corporate chains. Their food sucks anyway. Support your local businesses for shopping and dining.
If you can buy local you always should. Even if the price is slightly higher, 50% of that purchase makes it back into your community instead of virtually 0! You’ll be investing in yourself and you’ll get that “savings” back in the form of a better economy.
Thanks to our governor a lot of the small businesses lost their shirt. Aside from some smaller restaurants, the thrift store was the only business to advertise for small business Saturday. I could only find $5 worth of stuff, but did stop by yesterday.

How? How are you doing it? There needs to be a US only version of amazon.
