American-made gifts for moms

This guide is grouped by what a gift is for rather than by what a mother is supposed to want: something that gets used up, an upgrade to something used every day, something for the table or the kitchen, something to wear or to travel with, and something to keep.

Two of these carry a qualifier, and each is printed on its card rather than smoothed over. The teddy bear is made by hand in Vermont from materials that include imported ones, and its bow tie is made overseas. The fry pan is made in the USA, in the maker's words, with global materials. Both makers say so on the product page itself. The wool throw's card says something different: the page claims the throw, and is silent about where the wool comes from.
