Thirsties: Cloth Diapers with Adorable Designs
*Reusable *Save the Planet *Nice designs
Thirsties: one of the very few cloth washable diapers made in USA! Website is clean and modern, and the company is about as green as you can get. Their warehouse is 100% powered by wind energy, all product components are sourced locally… even packaging is made from recycled material.

Traigo: Trunk Bags, Coffee Sleeve and More
*Trunk bag is collapsible *Growing product line *Semi-rigid construction
Traigo Bags: creates two notable products and completely opposite ends of the spectrum. The first note is a coffee sleeve with Velcro adjustment – to minimize paper waste for the disposable ones. At about $10, I wonder if Traigo can accommodate custom logo patches for some usable tradeshow shwag?
The second product is the “Black Box” – a sexy and rectangular duffle bag that stretches across your entire trunk. It has some elastic cording and loops for quick hooking, and 3 zippable compartments accessible from the top. It is also collapsible and portable, and there are adjustable semi-rigid panels to keep it looking peppy. If you are like me, your groceries, your apples and oranges end up all over the place after a return trip from the grocery, so this could be for you! At $295 it is a pretty good deal too.
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!

All American Clothing Co: Great Designs and Prices!
All American Clothing.com: Another great American denim company that makes jeans with both odd and even sized waists… great for my ego during times of expanding waistline, I can upsize with single units vs only even-sized units. First I will mention the fantastic prices, then I will mention the great selection of jeans, hoodies, jackets, sweatshirts and many types of jeans for men and women. This company was founded by a man who worked for a jeans company that began outsourcing to Mexico – and that really bothered him, so he started his own family company. The All American Guarantee? “If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, return any item within 90 days for a refund or exchange…NO QUESTIONS ASKED!”
With 15K+ likes on Facebook, it must be good stuff! All designs are timeless favorites. Some of the outerwear is made by King Louie America (which sells mostly to distributors).

Bonus: the first jean company in the world that can trace your jean all the way back to the American farmers who grew the cotton that makes up your jeans.
