Gift Guide Part 4--Ohio and USA made gifts

It's really hard to find something made in the USA these days, let alone Ohio.  We searched our store and found several things that are indeed made in the USA and, even better, in Ohio.

Jewelry is always a good gift to receive.  Our own What the Rock?! line of jewelry is made in Columbus and includes guitar pick bracelets, Ohio necklaces, octopus cameos, antique anatomy cameos, paper jewelry, recycled credit card earrings, and recycled record cuffs.  And Fender or Tenacious D. cuff links or bullet shell push pins make a cool gift for guys...
