Re: Hi from Europe!
Welcome Paul! We're still pretty small here and to be honest, I don't think we'll ever get to the popularity of a site like r/avoidchineseproducts (which I'm on as well and I love), but I figured I'd set this up anyway, as we need as many voices as we can get out there. Most of my analysis is US-cen...

Re: 2021 Christmas Presents that are NOT made in China
That's amazing! Yeah, a lot of people complain about how hard it is to find stuff not made in China, but it's really not hard at all...in time it becomes almost second nature to just glance at a product label and move on to the next one if it's from China. And I'm finding more and more that the pric...

Re: School supplies not made in China
Thanks for sharing, Paul, and great work!

Re: Reading Glasses
Yay! Thanks so much for posting your findings! It's doubly satisfying to hear you've found something made in Taiwan with all the bulling and saber rattling that Beijing is directing towards Taipei. For everyone's reference here's a link to Target's collection of ICU eyewear. https://www.target.com/b...

Re: Baseball, softball, or T-ball glove for kids
It's getting tough. Wilson is 100% owned by a China conglomerate now. Spalding and Franklin seem all-in on China. Rawlings is still owned (sort of) by people in the USA. I say "sort of" because they're owned by Seidler Equity Partners (the owner of LA Fitness) which is a private equity fir...

Re: Headphones
Looks like your bet bet will be Samsung Galaxy Buds. They're all made in Vietnam these days.

Re: Reading Glasses
Wow...I just looked through all of the 100 top selling reading glasses on Amazon and it's not looking good at all. The vast majority were not only made in China, they are sold directly by China manufacturers with names like dongguanshiqingyimaowangluokejiyouxiangongsi and Name:WENZHOU SENDE DIANZI S...

Re: eyeglass frames made in the usa
I recently got a new set of prescription Dunhill glasses, which were made in Italy.
I came out and asked the optician to find me frames that were not made in China, and she was shocked at how much of her inventory was made in China.

Meat slicer for home use not made in China
I got a question from John on Facebook looking for a meat slicer for home user that is not made in China. We've seen a pattern in other kitchen appliances, like coffee makers. Most manufacturing, especially for consumer units, has long since gone to China. But in some cases, the very high end, profe...

Vacuum-seal plastic food storage containers (like Tupperware)
Thought I'd share a great find with everyone. I looked EVERYTHING to find a plastic storage container that let you vacuum out the air in it. I had one of these years ago (actually, a hand-crank version that I got by redeeming the old Coke Rewards). My old ones broke and so I looked around for a new ...
