Red, White & Blue are this Year's Holiday Colors

December 9, 2009
Are you looking for something that is red, white and blue with a side of stars and stripes this holiday season? At this point you may be thinking, “Jennifer is confused. It’s Christmas not the Fourth Of July!”
I can assure you that I know it is December 9th. I also know, that just like you, I am feeling a bit of
stress trying to find those elusive, final gifts.

Therefore, I want to spend this week’s column discussing some perfect gifts that are Made in the USA. I have spoken to many shoppers who want to support our domestic economy and workers, yet lament the lack of products that they can find are manufactured in America. When these folks come into Davis Ace, I am proud to show them the diverse assortment that we have. Some examples are:

#1 Vic Firth Gourmet Rolling Pins
All of the wood and materials come from America and are assembled in the company’s Newport,
Maine facility. Vic Firth, CEO, says it is American manufacturing at its finest.

#2 USA Bakeware Pans
These high quality cake pans and cookie sheets are made of commercial grade heavy duty aluminized
steel. It is cut, shaped and manufactured in the USA. Each pan’s corrugated surface allows heat to circulate and the nonstick silicone coating eliminates the need for oil or parchment paper.

#3 Plasticware by Preserve
These fun, colorful mixing bowls, colanders and cutting boards are made in America from 100% recycled
plastic. Available in green, red and white, they are perfect holiday colors.

#4 Epicurean Cooking Utensils and Cutting Boards
These items are manufactured in the USA from American-made materials. Even the trees used to make the eco-friendly fiber are harvested from certified, managed forests in North America. You will love the way they look and feel!

#5 Chef Marcus Samuelsson Cookware by Regal Ware
This beautiful, satin-finish cookware has superior heat conductivity and cooking performance because of the tri-ply construction. It is professional grade stainless steel sandwiched around a pure aluminum core. It can be used on any cooking surface and is dishwasher safe.

#6 Root Candles
Since 1869, the Root family of Medina, Ohio has laid claim to “making the best candles in America.”
Each candle is handcrafted using the latest in manufacturing technology. Enjoy their subtle fragrances
and sophisticated color palettes.
