6/12/26 update – As promised, I’m continuing to update this list with great stuff as I see it. If you’ve been here before, scroll to the bottom to see the newest finds!
Original post follows:
This year marks the 250th anniversary of the date that the United States declared independence from Great Britain. Naturally, a lot of people are going to want to find commemorative America250 merchandise, from flags to ornaments to apparel.
Here’s what I see when I type “America 250 merchandise” in Amazon’s search bar.
Here’s the seller behind the first three products listed on this page:
And the fourth product:
And the fifth product:
You get the idea. Out of the 18 products that show up for “america 250 merchandise” on Amazon, 16 are made in China. 2 are made in Vietnam. ZERO are made in the USA.
So how free and independent is the United States really these days?
While Vietnam is arguably less repressive than China’s, both are considered to have poor human rights records and of course, both are authoritarian one-party Communist states. And with Amazon’s help, citizens of the United States are pouring millions of dollars into their coffers, while American manufacturers and entrepreneurs are cut out and left to wither on the vine.
Here’s the bitterest irony of all. America250 does have an Amazon Store, but Amazon won’t rank it in its search, even for searches for their own name! What makes things a bit confusing is that a company called Ace Specialities LLC is listed as the owner of the America250 Amazon Store. But I researched them, and they’re legit: they manufacture a lot of the America250 products. What this means is that America250’s own products cannot outrank China and Vietnam for Amazon searches on “America 250”.
As I wrote in my article on best American flags not made in China, there are certain categories where NO ONE should be considering buying something made other than in the USA, and America 250 merchandise is one of them.
Not content to let Amazon be the only one to send all the money to China, here’s what Google returns when you do an image search on the logo.
That’s right, Temu and Shein are flooding the market with counterfeits at prices too good to be true. Ironically, the shirts that Americans are snapping up for $5 were likely made by workers under worse oppression than George III ever dished out.
How do the counterfeiters get away with it? It’s simple. America250.org doesn’t have the funding nor armies of lawyers like Disney, Microsoft, or Nintendo to police theft of their intellectual property (and notice how the China sellers make subtle changes so they can claim their use is derivative and thus “fair use”).
We’ve all gotten used to paying dirt cheap prices, but we never consider that the reason they’re cheap is stolen IP and slave-level labor. We have no choice anymore but to buy toasters like that. But we have a choice here.
Yes, we have all been conditioned to think that $32.99 is too much to pay for a T-shirt. But when you consider that it’s made by American workers working in fair conditions legally using a design that was created by American designers—and that the garment you buy will last a lifetime, not just a few years—it’s a fantastic deal.
China design quality
Here’s what’s worse. If you’ve searched Amazon, Google Shopping, or anywhere else on the Web for “America 250 souvenirs”, chances are you’ll find T-shirts, flags, challenge coins, ornaments, drinkware, tablecloths, hats, and banners that are gaudy, cluttered, clichèd, and pretty much the equivalent of visual vomit.
If you’ve ever been on a street in China or most of Asian other than Japan, you’ll recognize the design aesthetic. There is no design, there is no aesthetic. The goal is to fill every millimeter of white space with clutter.
It’s the perfect metaphor for the “price” we’ve paid for the last 25 years for buying made in China items. We may save a few dollars, but what we get is the worst kind of schlock and the cheapening of our society through Temu, Shein, and third party sellers on Amazon.
Sadly, most Americans are oblivious. They see the price tag, snap it up, and pat themselves on the back thinking they’ve gotten a great deal not realizing that it just makes them look ridiculous and enriches the CCP.
What is America 250?
In 2016, Congress created the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission to celebrate and commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It’s a nonpartisan organization whose goal is the engage all Americans in the celebration of the 250th. A 501(c)(3) organization called America250.org, Inc was created to support the commission. Among other things, they created and trademarked this lovely logo that adorns all of the official merchandise created to celebrate the semiquincentennial.
Where to Find Official America250 Merchandise That’s Made in the USA
One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of the partners that America250 name are manufacturers who produce goods for sale in gift shops in museums, historical sites, and organizations; I see names like Cactus & Pearl and NC Custom (Amusemints) that make a lot of the food you see in museum and park gift shops. Similarly, Museum Store Products is a licensee, but you don’t see a lot of their stuff being sold online.
So to get the biggest variety of America250 merch, I’d suggest taking a trip to Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston, or another historical spot. Alternatively, they should have a lot of America250 souvenirs in the National Parks.
That said, the most popular products that sell at those venues will of course be sold online. This list represents the most popular America250 souvenirs that are going to be sold at these venues to commemorate the semiquincentennial. Happily, you can purchase them in the comfort of your own home.
The vast majority of these gifts is made in the USA, and I’ve linked to sources that I’ve verified are official. The best places to shop, of course, are the official America250 store, as well as online gift shops of museums, parks, and historical sites run by the US government, including America’s National Parks store. But of course, many people prefer to shop on Amazon. For any Amazon links, double-check that you’re buying from Amazon, the seller “America250”, or a seller who’s based in the USA. Anyone else is likely to be a counterfeit.
Sadly, there are certain categories where the supply chains have been completely taken over by China. For example, I can’t find a folding chair or tailgate chair that’s not made in China. Disney has a collection of baseball hats, jerseys, keychains, shirts, and headbands. All made in China. Some brands like Stanley have made commemorative products, but all those do are enrich their manufacturing hubs in Zhejiang and Guangdong. No thanks.
But for the most part, these products below are made by Americans and if not, they’re made in a country that at least values freedom. In 50 years, at America’s Tricentennial, YOUR kids can proudly show them to their kids and have them explain them how their parents (you) took the word “independence” seriously more so than anyone else in this generation.he
Best America250 Merchandise Made in the USA
1. Official America 250 T-Shirt
Of course, the quintessential souvenir to commemorate America’s 250th is a good T-Shirt.
The America250 store on Amazon and their Web site have the official version you see here. This design is a big, bold, and beautiful. It’s perfect for wearing to celebrations of the 250th like July 4 and beyond.
As I said, there are a lot of knock-offs, so make sure to check the product listings to make sure you’re buying the officially licensed version, and even then, take a careful look at the seller to make sure it’s Amazon, America250, or an established seller in the USA. I’d even avoid the typical T-shirt printing companies, which generally import their blanks, print them in the USA, and call them “Made in the USA”.
There are two official sources where you can get an authentic one.
The National Park Store has another version, which is actually the one I prefer, which you can see here.
It’s a 100% cotton T-Shirt that’s made in the USA. It’s dark grey and has the official America250 logo on the chest. I like how it’s more understated, so it’s as appropriate for work as it is for casual wear.
America250’s Amazon storefront and store also have additional designs and styles you might not see on their Web site, including different colors, women’s cuts, sweatshirts, and hoodies.
If you’re looking for a high-quality, made in the USA T-shirt that has fun, cute, and funny designs but not necessarily the official America 250 logo, check out the Americana collection at Life is Good.
It was hard finding a company that had professionally designed shirts that are made in the USA, but theirs are definitely among the best.
2. Official 2026 White House Christmas Ornament
The White House Historical Association was founded by Jackie Kennedy in 1961 and is a private, non-profit organization with a mission to protect, preserve, and provide public access to the White House. Every year dating back to 1981, they’ve released a commemorative ornament to raise funds to support the operations. These ornaments have become highly sought-after collector’s items. Each commemorates a president or a major milestone event.
Beacon Design creates the official White House Ornament each year. I’ve talked about Beacon Design before; they’re an American company based in Rhode Island and continue to manufacture their ornaments there. Contrast this to other ornament companies who couldn’t move their manufacturing to China quick enough. While the quality of those other ornament companies is junk nowadays, Beacon still produces some of the most stunningly beautiful ornaments.
This one certainly falls under that category. On one side is a beautiful image of the 1776 and 2026 flags over the White House, with the official America 250 logo. On the other side is a tiny replica of the Declaration of Independence. It all fits in the palm of your hand and is a must-have for your Christmas tree this year.
On a recent trip to Washington, DC, this is the one I ended up getting. I picked it up at one of the Smithsonians for $40 before realizing that it was more than $10 less on Amazon. These things do become collectors items, so grab while you can!
If you prefer a more simple ornament, America’s National Parks sells this ribbon ornament with the official America 250 logo. It’s also made in the USA.
3. Neoprene Beverage Insulated Sleeves / Drink Cooler
I was kind of shocked to see this product, not because it’s anything especially unique, but because it’s made in the USA. It’s an insulating sleeve for putting cold soda or beer cans in, and it’ll keep your drink ice cold for hours longer than the can would last on its own. The sleeve is made of neoprene—the same stuff they make wetsuits out of.
Usually, you only see products like this made in China, but somehow they’ve managed to make it in the USA and keep the price point at under $7. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking—how do we know they didn’t get the sleeves mass produced in China and imprint them in the US? There’s no way to knowing where they sourced the raw materials from, but I’m trusting that with the increased scrutiny of the FTC this manufacturer is on the up and up. In the worst case scenario, at least we’re sure the workers who did the imprinting are in the USA.
4. America250 Caps
The official America 250 caps are beautiful hats sporting the official America250 logo. Appropriately, they come in red, white, and blue colors, as well as camo. They also come unstructured, meaning unlike traditional baseball caps they have a soft, non-rigid front crown for a more casual and relaxed look and fit.
I can’t believe I’m saying this about a baseball cap, but they’re all made in the USA. You can’t tell from the image, but the logo is embroidered, so it’ll be a cap that holds its style well beyond 2026, and like most of the items here will almost certainly become collector’s items.
5. America250 Flags
Of course for any patriotic event, you’ll want to get flags. My article on the best American flags made in the USA is up-to-date, and should steer you to the very best American flags you can buy, none of them made in China.
If you’re looking for a flag commemorating the 250th birthday of America, from what I can tell, the only flag maker who has obtained an official license to produce the America250 logo is Annin Flagmakers (listed as one of our top flagmakers). You can see other top flagmakers like Grace Alley, Gettysburg Flag Works, and Tidmore Flags reselling Annin’s product.
Annin has two main designs. The first is the America250 logo, available in blue or white in the standard 3′ x 5′ size, and also available in a large 4′ x 6′ size as well as a larger 5′ x 8′ size. They also make small handheld flags sold in packs of 4 and individually. They also make a 12″ x 18″ garden or front porch banner.
The second is the classic Betsy Ross 13-star design, with the number “250” printed in the center of the stars.
Shopping online might get confusing because Annin is a mainly manufacturer who relies on other companies to resell its flags. If you’re shopping offline, you can simple read the label or tag to make sure it’s authentic. Onlline, just make sure that the Seller has an address in the USA and ideally has more than a handful of reviews—anything overseas is virtually guaranteed to be counterfeit. Alternatively, skip Amazon altogether and go to the America250 Official Store.
Both are excellent flags to fly on indoors or outdoors to celebrate the 250th.
If you don’t need a full-sized flag, these flags with the official America250 logo are available for sale on Amazon. They’re also made in the USA, rare for small handheld flags like these.
Pair them with small USA flags of the same size from GiftExpress, also made in the USA, and featured on our blog post of the best US flags made in the USA.
6. America 250 Cowbells
In my post on best Christmas ornaments not made in China, Bevin Bells was my top pick for their “It’s a Wonderful Life” bell that wasn’t just inspired by the bell that gave Clarence his wings—Bevin Bells was the company that made that bell in the movie, along with many other iconic bells in American history, from the New York Stock Exchange bell, to Salvation Army bells, to Good Humor truck bells.
And there was one more iconic American moment where a Bevin bell was used—in the “Gotta Have More Cowbell” sketch of SNL that aired on April 8, 2000 with Christopher Walken and Will Ferrell giving a performance for the ages.
It’s only fitting that they signed on as a licensee of America250 to make a commemorative cowbell, following the same design as their Gotta Have More Cowbell cowbell, but painted red, white, and blue with the America250 logo.
You’d think the bell would be in the shape of the Liberty Bell or something, but you can’t argue with success—this appears to be one of the fastest selling items on the America250 store. Perfect for a loud 250th 4th of July celebration.
If you don’t need something that loud, Bevin Bells is also selling commemorative Sleigh Bells and this gorgeous Eagle Bell that makes a delightful tinkling sound and not a CLONK CLONK CLONK sound.
7. America250 Socks
Here’s one product where the phrase “Don’t Tread on Me” won’t apply. They’re a blend of cotton, nylon, and spandex socks that provide comfort, breathability, and stretch. And amazingly, they’re made in the USA. You can choose from 8 different designs, all officially authorized by the America250 organization, and all a wonderful way to show your patriotism.
8. Official America250 Sticker
Vinyl stickers are, of course, one of the best souvenirs you can get for America 250. The problem is that this is one of the easiest things to counterfeit. While the America250 organization seems to be doing a decent job of policing its trademarks on Amazon, there are countless print-on-demand companies and China resellers who are flooding the market with fakes or mass quantities of garbage designs printed on garbage material.
Remember that America250 isn’t a money grab: their licensed merchandise goes to fund their educational and outreach program to celebrate the semiquincentennial. Foolish consumers may think they’re getting a “deal” by buying stolen IP at a fraction of the price. But they’re just getting used.
The sticker above is being sold by the National Park Service in their stores and is my personal favorite: it’s a simple die-cut sticker of the America250 logo on a white vinyl surface, suitable for laptops, cars, lockers, or sticker books. It’s created by Eastern National, an official licensee of America250.
I also like the bumper sticker being sold by Rico Industries, another licensee. Rico Industries has multiple America250 products for sale on Amazon, including magnets, drinkware, banners, and license plate covers. Be careful though, as all of them aren’t marked as made in the USA (their stickers are)
If you’d like to buy stickers in bulk for handing out, Amazon is carrying 5″ x 3.5″ and 4″ x 4″ stickers in bulk packs of 10, 25, and 50. They’re great for giving out at family gatherings, church events, or any other celebration.
9. Tablecloth with America250 Designs for Coloring
If you’re planning a Fourth of July get-together, here’s a super-fun activity that’ll keep the kids busy, which will help the day be a true “day of independence” for parents (or at least a few minutes). It’s a whimsical, delightful, officially-licensed America250 tablecloth from Creative Crayons Workshop, an official America250 licensee, that’s printed on premium, thick paper which you can spread over a dining table, picnic table, or party setup. It has lots of different designs with patriotic and iconic American scenes.
It doesn’t come with markers, but you can of course get a bulk set of Crayola Markers, made in the USA.
For something a little more individual, you can get these America250 placemats, a miniature version of the tablecloth that’s great for an individual place setting. They also have youth and toddler t-shirts that you can color with fabric markers for a great Fourth of July kid’s activity.
10. Patriotic M&Ms
You can buy red, white, and blue M&Ms directly from mms.com. They’ll be fresh and they come imprinted with patriotic symbols like an eagle, a flag, and fireworks. All made in the USA, of course.
If you’re a company or small business looking for a unique promotional giveaway, iPromo sells these bags of M&Ms with the officially licensed America250 logo next to your own logo (they won’t have the imprinted designs on them). It’s a great way to promote your brand, fundraise, and celebrate.
11. America250 Playing Cards
Creative Crayon Workshop also sells this deck of playing cards with the America250 logo. It’s packaged in a paper box and makes a great commemorative gift. And of course, it’s made in the USA.
12. Coins and Medals
While not a product of the America250 organization, one of the best souvenirs from the semiquincentennial will be coins. That’s right, the very coins you carry in your pocket.
Anyone who was alive in 1976 remembers the thrill of seeing a quarter that had a patriot playing a drum instead of an eagle on the back, and the numbers “1776 – 1976” on the front. Of course we all saved them, thinking they’d be worth something one day and they turned out to be worth…25 cents. But the memories were worth a lot more than that.
It’ll be the same this year. But instead of just the quarter changing, every circulating coin will get a facelift for this year.
The design of the Half Dollar will replace John F. Kennedy with the face of the Statue of Liberty on the front (just for this year), and the back will be a quote from James Madison, “Knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty”, with an image of a torch being passed. These became available on May 5, 2026.
There will be five new quarter designs throughout the year commemorating five key moments in American history, including the Mayflower Compact, the Revolutionary War, the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and the Gettysburg Address. Joining George Washington on the front of the quarters will be a pilgrim couple, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln.
There’s also going to be a new design—for one year only—for the nickel and the dime. And the penny is back…sort of. It’ll be available in commemorative coin sets, but not in circulation.
The nice thing about this “souvenir” is that everyone will have them in their pocket change. Of course, you can also buy uncirculated and proof versions of these circulating coins, as well as precious metal coins, at the US Mint.
If you’re looking for commemorative medals or “challenge coins”, the official licensee for those is Symbol Arts Shop, who manufacture their coins in the USA and have made a number of beautiful and meaningful designs for challenge coins and commemorative coins. These aren’t legal tender, of course, but they do make great giveaways and rewards, and they themselves often become collector’s items.
You can buy these directly at their store or at the America250 official store. Be careful of other vendors who tout themselves as selling “challenge coins”, as almost all are made in China. You can see them from a mile away because almost all of them are tacky.
Another option for challenge coins (not affiliated with America250) is Bradford Exchange. Look specifically for coins marked “made in the USA”, “US Minted”, or “Minted in the USA”. Note that Bradford Exchange coins don’t typically appreciate in value, but they’re often well designs and make great keepsakes nonetheless.
13. Drinkware from Rolf Glass, Tervis, and Boelter Brands
If you’re going to raise a glass this Independence Day, do it in style. Rolf Glass is a licensee of America250, and has created an entire collection of glasses, decanters, and other drinkware that’s perfect to show your patriotism. This whiskey glass is a great example of the quality and workmanship they still put into their glassware, all created in the USA. They also sell pint glasses in cobalt blue, and wine tumblers.
If you don’t need fine glassware, there’s another option. We mentioned Tervis in our post on the best water bottles not made in China, and they remain a solid, made in USA brand for plastic tumblers, including their signature double-walled insulated tumbler with the America250 logo in multiple patriotic designs. This is one of those gifts—for yourself, a family member, or friend, that is practical every day well beyond this year, and is backed by Tervis’ famous lifetime warranty.
Another excellent tumbler is the one made by Boelter Brands (they sell under the America250 brand). It’s got a stainless steel interior and a nice powder-coated paint exterior. And of course it has the America 250 logo. It’s a lot like Yeti’s tumblers, with the wide mouth and tapered bottom similar to a Yeti tumbler, which of course is made in China.
Boelter decorates all of its products in Ohio and Wisconsin, and its Web site says it makes a substantial amount of their products in the USA. I don’t see any indication that this one isn’t made in the USA.
There’s another option for drinkware: this beautiful stoneware coffee mug that’s for sale at America’s National Parks. It comes and goes out of stock regularly, so if you see it in stock, grab it right away.
While they don’t divulge the original manufacturer, it’s pretty clear to me that these are made by Deneen Pottery, who supplies many of the National Parks with ceramics and stoneware mugs, bowls, tankards, and crocks.
As I wrote in my blog post about best coffee mugs not made in China, Deneen makes some of the best ceramic mugs you’ll find anywhere—I have so many in my cupboard that I have to stop myself from buying more every time I go to a National Park.
Deneen Mugs are all made in their factory in St. Paul, Minnesota. It’s one of the great success stories of how an American manufacturer refused to capitulate as everyone else was sending their products to China to be mass produced, while they continued to insist on hand-making all of their products in the USA. Their success is well deserved, and their products are absolutely the best.
14. National Park Passport Stickers
If you have a National Park Passport, you’ll want to get a hold of these commemorative stickers that you can put into your Passport. They picture the Statue of Liberty, Washington crossing the Delaware River, and Independence Hall. They all have the America 250 logo on them.
Here’s another great idea from the National Park Service. They’ve printed a commemorative version of the National Park Passport called Passport to the American Revolution that focuses on National Historic Parks related to the Revolution, like Minute Man, Independence Hall, Valley Forge, and Yorktown.
Like the National Park Passport, there are spots to stamp the books (this year’s stamp cancellation locations have the America250 logo as a commemorative stamp to put next to the regular stamp). But unlike the regular Passport, the pages are filled with history talking about the American Revolution and how each site played a role. It’s a unique, once-in-a-semiquincentennial gift, and it’s the same one they’re selling in the National Historic Parks.
15. Glass Ornament from Jamestown Glass
Here’s another option for a really meaningful Christmas ornament. It’s an ornament made of glass in Jamestown, Virginia. It comes in clear glass or cobalt blue glass.
While these may not look like the fanciest ornaments by modern standards, they’re literally a direct connection to America’s past. Glassmaking began in Jamestown in 1608, and Jamestown Glasshouse still produces these works of art using the same glass blowing techniques as they did over 400 years ago at the same site (located in Historic Jamestowne in Colonial National Historical Park).
They’re stamped with the America 250 logo. The blue is colored in the same way that they would have in colonial times, by mising cobalt oxide with the molten glass.
If you prefer a more traditional glass ornament, American Ornaments, America250 Store and Bronners are selling this glass ornament by Heart Gifts by Teresa, a wonderful small business who hand-paint all of their ornaments in the USA. The ornament features the word “America” in a bold font that evokes the colonial era, and the “250” logo is hand-painted with beautiful red and blue glitter.
16. Iron-on patch
Customize your own backpack, jacket, cap, or Scout uniform with these official America250 logo iron-on patches. It’s available in black or white, and applies easily onto your garment with an iron.
16. America250 Polo Shirt
If you’re looking for something just a little more classy and suitable for business casual settings, Flag Shirt sells the official America250 Polo Shirt by Antigua.
It comes in white and navy blue and in men’s and women’s cuts. Just a heads-up that this is most likely not made in the USA; Antigua typically manufactures their shirts overseas, but from what I can tell, most of their production happens in countries like Vietnam and Thailand, not China.
17. America250 Ties
Here’s a poly satin tie being sold by Flag Shirt. They also sell a tie that looks like the Stars and Stripes, as you can see in the image to the right.
This one is a bit tricky, as the blue one is only available on Flag Shirt, as far as I can tell, and they unfortunately don’t reveal the country of origin for either tie.
After a bit of searching, I believe that these ties may be made by Nelson Enterprises in Steubenville, Ohio. If that’s the case, it’s likely made in the USA. But I wish they or their distributors would be a little more transparent here.
There is one company that makes high quality Italian silk ties that have the America250 logo; check out Preferred Living’s America250 ties. These are definitely top quality ties that are made in Corso, Italy. They’re a bit pricier, but if you can afford them they’re great ties that come in one of two patterns: a traditional red, white, and blue striped pattern with the America250 logo, or a classic design of American flags on a dark blue background.
18. America250 Dog Bandana
Make sure your four footed member of the family isn’t left out on your celebrations! The America250 official store is selling these dog bandanas in four different designs.
19. America250 Onesie
If you have or know a baby born in 2026, there’s no better way to commemorate the conjunction of their first year with America’s 250th. This 100% cotton onesie is made in the USA from premium 100% combed ring-spin cotton for a feel so comfortable it’ll keep your little one cool and calm with all the celebratory commotion going on around him or her.
20. Coca Cola’s commemorative bottle
I’ve been collecting Coca Cola cans and bottles for years, to the point where I now have boxes of them commemorating baseball games, soccer games, football games, limited edition designs, and different colors and sizes from multiple countries. At some points I realized that the cost of storing them ended up being much more than any resale value they would ever get—so collecting these is less an investment and more just a way to have fun.
For America’s 250th, they sell commemorative glass bottles. You should be able to find these in your local supermarket. You can buy an official one at the Coca Cola Store for $10, but in all honesty you’re probably much better off looking for one on eBay. The version they sell on their site is a bit different than the one they sell in the stores.
They’re also doing something fun with mini cans. They’re releasing a can with the abbreviations of every state in the union, as well as DC and Puerto Rico.
As you collect them, you can scan them into an app to “collect them” and be eligible to win a bottle of Coke or a collectible state pin (which are quickly being depleted as of this writing—there are only 500 available per state).
Their Web site is aggravatingly buggy, and it’s pretty clear they slapped this promotion together pretty quickly without a lot of thought (as of this writing, pins for states like NY and CA are long gone, while other states are barely touched). And half the time their Web app is failing to scan cans and giving me error messages. But this is one of those “it’s the thought that counts” things. If you do manage to register on their Web site, you have a decent chance of scoring a free Coke.
Again, your best bet is to find these cans for sale in your local supermarket, but if there’s a particular can you want to find, your best bet is eBay.
20. America250 Zippo Lighter
The America’s 250th Anniversary Special Edition Zippo is an officially licensed lighter that has a commemorative design with the America250 logo, flags, and red, white, and blue finishes.
As with all Zippo lighters, it’s made in the USA out of the same plant in Bradford, PA that’s been making them since 1932. It has all metal construction, is windproof, and has a lifetime guarantee.
20. Fanatics USA 250 Limited Edition Jacket
If you’re looking to splurge one this once-in-a-lifetime event, check out Fanatics’s 250 Limited Edition Iconic Full-Snap Jacket. It’s a letterman style jacket that’s made in the USA, and there will only be 250 of them made. It’s filled with patches and embroidery that celebrate the semiquincentennial.
There’s also a stylish polo sweatshirt, a white fleece hoodie, and a T-shirt, all also made in the USA, and also with only 250 in production.
If you want these, hurry up and grab them before they disappear.
21. Food and Drinks
There are a lot of consumer packaged brands that have gotten into the spirit of things. Here are a few of my favorite ones from a recent trip to Walmart:
Check out Walmart’s full collection of red, white, and blue food for more options.
Conclusion
This is usually the part where I say “if you’ve seen others, please share them in the comments”. And in this case, that request still applies. But rest assured, from today until July 4, I’ll continue to keep an eye on new merchandise that’s released and post about it here. Amazon may make money when they hide the best America250 souvenirs from the public and push China-made ones, but so help me, I’m going to find every high-quality made in USA product by America250 and put it here for everyone to find.
Let’s make 2026 the year we declare independence from China manufacturing once and for all.
Thank you so much for this list! It’s so hard finding things not made in China and I just cannot bring myself to buy from that country. I’ll definitely be getting a few things from this list and will keep checking back for more!
