Zippo: Lighters, Handwarmers and Gifts
*Affordable *Custom Printing *Proven Hardware
Congratulations to Zippo for 500 Million lifetime sales! (June 5, 2012)
Not only does Zippo make the classic flip-lid lighter- the stainless steel canvas that is ready for any artwork or message, and will endure for centuries…. but Zippo also is also evolving with the “Zippo Utility Lighter” for candle and stove lighting. I wonder if they have a patent on that wonderful “click” sound that accompanies each lid opening?
My antique lever-arm Okinawa Zippo was working great up until the day I lost it. Oh well, thanks for dedication to making it in the USA!

Tom Bihn Bags: Modern, Asymmetric, Urban
*Stylish *Variety *Reasonable prices *Well-made *Customer Service
I would like to point out one in particular that is designed for the 13” Macbook Air, although it will likely work with the slew of Intel Ultrabooks coming out. Since it is 4.75″ deep, likely it will hold some older 13″ models as well. The hardware looks pretty solid and it has a nice vertical design for the modern laptop warrior on the go. The asymmetry is a nice touch. Tom Binh bags are made in Seattle, and they have quite a variety of travel bags, briefcases and backpacks too. At $135 this is a reasonable price for its attractive design.

Also of great note is the Large Café Bag in cocoa: only $65

Fryes: Boots, Shoes and Handbags
*Timeless *Broad spectrum of designs *Precise craftsmanship *Rugged
Fryes: admit it. These are the toughest, baddest, iconic boots and shoes out there. And they are STILL made in the USA. Traditionally they have survived the test of time on design and functionality, and they are still breaking new ground with designs like the Coby… a strappy shoe for women, as well as refined casuals and oxfords for men, and even a huge dynamic assortment of attractive and well-proportioned clogs.
