Packing the Perfect Picnic: Strategies and Some Made in USA Help!

picnic

Summer concerts on the lawn, enjoying a cool breeze in a beautiful natural space, teddy bear picnics with the little ones--all of these summer memories will be picture perfect with a wonderful picnic!

Strategies for packing the perfect picnic:
  • Know your guests: You do not want to pack bananas for someone who is less than thrilled with their smell. Base your menu on what your guests like, not necessarily on the easiest items to fill your basket.
  • Make a list: Being organized will go a long way to ensure you have everything you need!
  • Think portable, finger food and less mess: We all have lofty ambitions and would love to make impressive creations to wow our guests. However, food items that are easily portable and even acceptably eaten by finger may be easier.
  • Don't forget cleaning items: Napkins are definitely a must. Also, don't forget a bag for refuse and one for dishes. Hand wipes may also be useful.
  • Cold packs: Depending on what you bring and how long you will be out, you may want a cold pack or two to keep things cold.
  • Entertainment: You can slip in a pack of cards, a Frisbee, jacks or some other small type of game to add a little more fun to your picnic.

Ready to put your basket together? We at Norton's U.S.A. have everything to make putting together a picnic basket a breeze--and it is all made in the U.S.A! From gorgeous hardwood baskets:

Fall into Autumn with Made in the U.S.A. Style

We are waking up to crisp mornings, leaves are beginning to change, squirrels are scurrying to store acorns and the smells of apples and pumpkins waft at local orchards and cafes. Fall is here! Fall is such a lovely time in the United States and we have some wonderful made in America items to help you celebrate this vibrant season!

Temperatures in the fall can really keep you guessing. We have some wonderful handwarmers that are perfect for cool fall weather. They keep your hands warmer while keeping your fingers free. They are made from 75% pre-consumer recycled cotton and 25% acrylic. Prewashed, they are a comfy as your favorite fall sweater. We have many adorable designs including this kitty:



Looking for a decoration that is adorable yet functional? We have some adorable pumpkin keepsake boxes that can serve as wonderful fall decor as well as a place to stow a treasure. They can also be used to give a gift to a loved one having a fall celebration! Each box is 4" in diameter. We have two styles available.




When you think about fall decorating, you think about gourds. Well, have you ever thought about a gourd birdhouse? This beautiful wren house will attract a wren when hung from a tree limb or wire. Studies have shown that birds prefer plain and natural environments. So, the insides of the gourd were dried during crafting to represent natural cavities found in trees and old wood posts. Size and shape do vary due to uniqueness of each gourd.



Planning a fall party? These 9" Vibrant Leaves Dinner Plates will brighten up your affair! We also have luncheon plates and napkins to help set your table!



Looking for a place to store that fall candy corn? How about this adorable glass pumpkin!

Collecting fall leaves is a time-honored tradition. Take this portable leaf press with you so that you can preserve your specimens easily! The kit comes with enough corrugated drying discs for 6 specimens.



In the fall, there is nothing like the smell of fresh pumpkin bread! We have a lovely pumpkin bread mix perfect to fulfill your craving. Just add eggs, water and oil to the mix to make an 8" loaf or 12 muffins. Easy and delicious!

Be part of a revolution by buying American

Have you ever heard about NorthernGRADE or American Field? If you have, I am sure that you are inspired. If you haven't, you will be inspired. NorthernGRADE and American Field are both pop up markets selling only American-made apparel. The markets only "pop up" a few times of the year in a few cities across the country. They provide a way for shoppers to see American craftmanship, meet craftsmen and ask vendors specific questions about manufacturing, sourcing, etc.

CNN published an article by Emanuella Grinberg this past November about these vibrant pop up markets titled Made in America markets create communities of like-minded consumers. Some attendees drove a considerable distance to the market in Chicago. It is quite inspirational to see that buying quality, made in USA clothes means that much. Additionally, the author of the article noted that the younger demographic was very much represented during the market, even teenagers! How wonderful to see so many dedicated to these Made in America brands.

When assessing market visitor's motivation, Grinberg noted: "One thing they all seemed to share was nostalgia for an era when clothing and accessories were made to last, regardless of whether they were actually alive during that time."

Consumers were coming to find something unique and something that would last. Plus, they had the remarkable chance to actually meet the people that designed and crafted the clothing. These markets do seem a bit like a revolution in thinking and consuming. How great to see more people understanding the quality and unique design of American-made products.  Definitely, check out the article!

Father's Day: Celebrate with Made in the USA Style!



Father's Day is a special day set aside to honor our fathers in some unique way. Fathers have helped to build this nation. From our Founding Fathers to soldiers to pioneers to protectors of the family to baseball coaches and beyond, our fathers have helped to make this country through various contributions and sacrifices. To honor our fathers' contributions to this great nation, why not find them the perfect made in the U.S.A. gift?

We have come up with a list of some great gift ideas for Dad. Dad will definitely be happy with a wonderful made in America gift!

Who does not remember Dad pulling out his wallet to buy a piece of candy or an ice cream cone? Why not buy Dad a new wallet? If Dad has a particularly bulky wallet, maybe he would like to downsize with a World's Thinnest Wallet? The wallet is available in leather and several shades of nylon.

Perhaps, Dad would like to be comfy for Father's Day? We have some comfy, cozy sheepskin slippers that Dad will love to relax in! Grab him a cup of joe and he will be all set!

In fact, you can make him a cup of coffee with our coffee and espresso press. Using the ideal water temperature and gentle air pressure, the brew yields rich flavor with lower acidity and without bitterness. Micro filtered for grit free coffee – unlike other press-type coffee makers. Actual press time only takes 20 seconds. Perfect!

If Dad is looking for a new addition to his wardrobe, we have a collection of tees that will fit the bill. We also have some nice, lightweight carpenter jeans. How about an outfit entirely made in America for Dad?

We have a fun root beer making kit that Dad may love! With the kit, you can make 1 gallon of great tasting root beer in 3 days or less. Family fun with delicious results!

For a little bit of fun, how about a book of bar jokes? Dad will probably have a few laughs with this one!

We have so many perfect gifts for Dad. We even have gift cards if Dad would like to shop for himself! Or, better yet, maybe you should take him to Norton's U.S.A.!

Keep Asking for American Made!

We are making a difference! After reading this article, "Forget ‘Buy American’? U.S. Retailers Push an ‘Imports Work’ Campaign." I knew that the Buy American movement was really getting the message out and times are a changing. More and more of us are asking for Made in U.S.A. products and that scares many retailers who only sell imports. Change can only happen when the people demand it and we are demanding it! 

I encourage you to read the article and read between the lines. Here is one quote, "What’s more, as for those socks imported from China, Baughman says that such products help—rather than hinder—U.S. employment: “It’s Americans that unload the socks at the port. It’s Americans that are involved in the marketing and selling of those socks.” There will always be imports and retailers, so there will always be dock workers and sales associates, but just think how many more people are employed in America when we grow the cotton, make the yarn, knit the sock, package the sock, sell the sock, buy the sock, export the sock and how good we feel when we wear the sock that is completely made in the U.S.A.. By the way, we do make tons of socks completely in America so there is absolutely no reason to buy socks made anywhere else!

I have always believed that all countries should have a strong manufacturing base. What we need now in America is more competition within the industries to help bring prices down. We need a rebirth of our textile industry so we can have more towels, sheets and clothing made here. We need to bring the production of kitchen appliances back to America along with scientific glass, heating elements and power cords suitable to be used in these products. Americans are tired of cheap products that break or don't work after one use. We don't want to be a "throw away society", we want products that last.

Teacher appreciation {the American-made way}: Our Teacher Gift List


The end of the school year is rapidly approaching. Teachers have done such a wonderful job of instructing and guiding our children throughout the year. With the close of the academic year, it is time to think about the teachers that have made a difference in our children's lives this year.

Norton's U.S.A. has some wonderful gifts that are certain to make the teachers in your life feel appreciated. Teachers are a foundation to the future of the U.S.A. Why not reward them with a beautiful Made in America gift?

Speaking of relaxation, our bath fizzies and Napa soap are also perfect to help a special teacher unwind. The Napa soap actually comes in 12 different scents and includes natural ingredients! Attractively wrapped, you can even add either item to a gift basket!

If your favorite teacher loves cooking, how about making a culinary basket with some of our unique gourmet delights? We have sauces, dip mixes, cake mixes, cookie mixes and more!

Honoring a teacher who loves nature? How about a hummingbird feeder? Who can resist a visit from these beautiful little birds? Our hummingbird feeders are easy to fill and have ant and bee proof ports. We also have cute plant markers for the gardener. The markers will make for a cute and bright addition to any garden!

Giving a gift to a science teacher? Our DNA kit or Crystallography kit may be interesting for them to play with our even use in class! We also have a fun Pet Tornado, great for a weather fanatic! These science kits will add a little something different to a teacher gift!

Can't quite put your finger on what you should get? We have sophisticated yet durable journals suited for various passions. Bird watching, road tripping, reading and teaching--we have quite a selection, so take a look!

Bring apparel production back to the U.S.A.

Recently, there have been a number of victories in the realm of "inshoring" (bringing manufacturing back to the United States). GE and Apple are bringing some production back to the U.S.A. Lenovo began a new production line in North Carolina this year. Walmart has pledged to increase the number of American-made products on its shelves. Great changes are happening!

When it comes to clothing, a disturbing 97% or more is made outside of the U.S.A. We need to turn this around! Americans have become dangerously addicted to cheap clothing. By importing more of our clothing, we have also become separated from how our clothing is produced.

The tragedy in Bangladesh has shed light on the damaging effect our clothes shopping habits have on others working under deplorable conditions. Since these clothes are not produced in our country, we do not witness this firsthand. Additionally, many nations do not have sufficient environmental regulations. Even though we support a cleaner, healthier environment, we still buy cheap clothing without realizing the impact its production has had on the environment. Not only are we are harming others, but we are also harming ourselves. The environment acts globally. Environmental damage affects the world.

As consumers, we can work to make more educated choices about shopping. We can make an effort to research the clothing we buy. We can also make an effort to buy more American-made clothing. With the internet, this is easy. In fact Norton's U.S.A. has easy to find sections for our selections of American-made Women's, Men's and Kids' clothing.

According to an NBC News article, the clothing industry faces hurdles in returning. Many of the components used to craft garments are no longer made in the U.S.A. Talent is also an issue as the clothing industry in the U.S.A. has found it more difficult to find seamstresses. However, as we begin to buy more American-made clothing, the demand will be there providing the incentive to grow the American apparel business.

In a CBS News interview, Bob Bland who heads Manufacture New York (an initiative to bring back the apparel industry) stated of the Bangladesh tragedy: "Those people who died were making clothes for us here in America. And that's important because we owe it to them not to let this happen again. I would like to see Americans take a look at when they are buying that $5 T-shirt, they need to think about that and know that there is a cost. Fashion should never kill."

We can change this. There are so many wonderful designers making clothing right here in the U.S.A. You will definitely be inspired after taking a look at some of the wonderful creations at Norton's U.S.A. (including the dress above.)

CBS News Apparel advocate: Bring clothing manufacturing back to the US
NBC News Clothing excluded from US manufacturing resurgence
The Washington Post Is US manufacturing making a comeback-or is it just hype
Time How Walmart plans to bring back 'Made in America'

Make Mother's Day American Made with Norton's U.S.A.



Mothers are a building block of America. Think about all of those founding mothers who have given so much to this country: Abigail Adams, Mary Ludwig Hays McCauley “Molly Pitcher”, Martha Washington, Mercy Otis Warren and many more. These are mothers who spoke up for our freedoms, supported the fight for our freedom, gave their husbands and sons to fight for their freedom and even braved the battlefield for this country. Since the beginning of our nation, mothers have worked to build the U.S.A. Why not reward our mothers with a wonderful Made in the U.S.A. gift? It is the ultimate celebration of what mothers do for our nation!

Norton’s U.S.A. has some many wonderful gifts perfect for Mother’s Day and all made in the U.S.A. Here is a peek at some good gift idea:
We have some beautiful Pearl Peapod Necklaces. You can select one with one, two, three or four pearls to represent your family. Very elegant, yet meaningful.

For the knitters, we have adorable little yarn bowls that help keep yarn in place.
For the chefs, we have a number of cookbooks. Why not pair a cookbook with some beautiful Nordic Ware.

For mothers in need of a little pampering, we have a range of beauty products including lotions, soaps and even bath fizzes.
How about a picnic for mom? You can gift one of our lovely picnic baskets to mom and even prepare a nice picnic lunch for the big day!

There are so many ways to celebrate Mother’s Day with Made in the USA. Will you have an American-Made Mother’s Day?
AND, don’t forget to come to the Cake Auction on May 11th! Just in time for Mother’s Day! When you buy a cake at the live auction, all proceeds will go to American Cancer Society’s Relay for life. You might just help save a mother’s life!
