Curious of the ways you are avoiding buying mass-produced junk as gifts for people this holiday season. Share your ideas and tips, what you make or do, or how you otherwise partake of the joys of togetherness this time of year, without consuming for the sake of consumption.

I'm OK buying quality mass produced items, and if Trump follows through on his tariff nomsense, it makes sense to do it now.

For example, Le Creuset is imported from France (cast iron) or SE Asia (ceramic), prices on all that will explode under Trump.

Nordic Ware is also great stuff, and it's made in the US, but tariffs on imported aluminum will move demand to US sourced aluminum, which will also raise prices. :(
