American-Made Magnets and So Much More
One of the most personally
satisfying ways to buy American I’ve found is to support smaller,
privately-owned and even family-owned American companies whose American-made
products can’t be and won’t be found at Wal-Mart or any of the other
big-name retail chains. Perhaps it’s the uniqueness of these American-made
products in particular that makes it so personally rewarding to buy
American, because we are able to buy and own something that most folks don’t
even know about, and it makes you want to change that by telling everyone
about it.
One such company is Mo8
Designs (which stands for Mother of 8 Designs) based in Butte, ND. From
hand-cast and hand-painted magnets, pins, jewelry and ornaments to intricate
and impressive custom-tiled tables and desks, this family-run business sells
to gift and specialty shops in 38 states and they sell directly to patriotic
consumers as well.
Once you visit their website
at
www.mo8designs.com,
you’ll see a wide variety of uniquely American-made items. When is the last
time you looked at several American-made Christmas ornaments? Who can find
those anymore in any store? You know they’d make a nice addition to your
American-made artificial Christmas tree (more on that one later). Custom
designing is available for that special Christmas to remember, whether
you’re celebrating a new member to the family or a special gift to a special
someone with a custom-designed ornament that will bring remembrance to that
gift for years to come. The commemorative ornament might even outlast the
gift itself!
Mother of 8 Designs makes
plaques, pins, ornaments and magnets for your loved-ones, your company, your
fundraiser or just for yourself. In all, they make 160 designs in 20
categories. They even offer custom tiling using intricate, hand-cut tile
pieces for your table or desktop using the logo or artwork of your choice as
a theme made on a traditional oak base with traditional American
craftsmanship, of course. These intricate custom designs are a conversation
piece at the very least but will more likely be the envy of the
neighborhood.
I personally have some of the
Mo8 Designs magnets and the attention to detail and quality is so
impressive, I can’t imagine how floored I would be if I were to see these
designs on a larger scale as part of a desk or table for the home or office.
The photos of these magnets on
www.mo8designs.com
look great, but they simply cannot duplicate the look of the actual product
itself. Once you order and receive some for yourself, you’ll know what I
mean. I gave some of these magnets as a gift to my parents and they liked
them so much that I really had to stand firm on the ones I showed them that
I wanted to keep for myself. Yes, the quality is really that good.
You’ve probably heard before
that smaller businesses provide the backbone that makes America tick, and
that’s entirely true. But smaller businesses often aren’t able to export to
foreign countries or land contracts with big-name retailers such as Sears,
Target and JC Penney like larger companies and corporations can.
So pay a visit to
www.mo8designs.com
and support smaller American companies that make their products in the USA.
They pay the taxes that make the things “We, the People” demand from our
country possible. Workers in foreign countries don’t pay taxes to America.
Only American workers do, including the hard-working Americans at Mo8
Designs.
