When friends and relatives get married, we're thrilled for them, but it usually means giving a substantial gift. The key to giving American-made wedding gifts is knowing which brands to look for on the registry and having some off-registry favorites. These are ours.

Best Wedding Gifts, Made in the USA
Authenticity 50 Luxury Sheets
Treat the special couple to American made luxury sheets from Authenticity 50.  Authenticity 50 luxury bedding is 100% made in the USA from American grown Supima cotton. Supima cotton has longer fibers than regular cotton, making it softer and stronger. The stronger cotton thread results in cotton bedding that is durable and long lasting.  The Authenticity 50 Signature Sheet Set comes nicely packaged as well, making a gift of luxury sheets even look fancy. Now available in 3 color choices; Carolina Gray, Pacific Blue, and Signature White.
Lime & Leaf Bedding, Pillows, Throws, Home Decor Items
Lime & Leaf offers a beautiful selection of nature inspired bedding, pillows, and other home decor items, all made in the USA. Lime & Leaf sheet sets are made from Supima cotton and are available with embroidered edging. Garment dyed duvet covers, and shams also make a great wedding gift. Throw pillows for the bedroom or living room are another gift option. Lime & Leaf pillow inserts are made in Mississippi and are filled with a luxurious combination of duck feather, down, poly fill blend. Decorative pillow covers are all made in the USA and have a hidden zipper for easy removal and are machine washable.  With many patterns and colors to chose from, Lime & Leaf throws would be an essential addition to any room in the new couples home. The throws are Eco-friendly too, as they are made partly from recycled cotton.
American Craft Towels by 1888 MillsÂ
Towels are a popular wedding gift item and American made towels are easier to find than you think! We love American Craft by 1888 Mills towels.  1888 Mills has been manufacturing textile products in the USA since, well, 1888. The 1888 Mills line of American Craft at Bed Bath & Beyond towels are soft, absorbent, and come in a vibrantly colored fabric with textured woven bands.
Liberty Tabletop Flatware
High quality, American made flatware is a wedding gift that will last for generations. Liberty Tabletop is the only flatware that is still manufactured in the United States, upstate New York to be exact. Liberty Tabletop stainless steel flatware is made from domestically sourced steel that is 8 to 10 percent nickel and 16 to 18 percent chromium. Unlike stainless steel in foreign flatware manufacturing, Liberty Tabletop guarantees that the metal mix in their stainless steel does NOT contain lead, mercury, or any other toxic metals that we don't want in our mouths. If you are soon to be married and aren't sure what type of flatware to add to your registry, Liberty Tabletop has a buyers guide on their website that can walk you through the process.
Fiesta Dinnerware
Fiesta comes in a huge range of colors for coordinating or mixing and matching. The lucky couple can't go wrong with the Fiesta 4-Piece Place Setting. When in doubt, Fiesta's serving pieces
Tervis Tumblers
Tervis has a devoted following in the South because their tumblers keep cold drinks cold without making the glass sweat. AÂ full set of Tervis Tumblers
KitchenAid Mixers
Every cook or aspiring cook hopes for a KitchenAid mixer
Wendell August Forge
For an affordable but special decorative or serving piece, Wendell August Forge makes intricate, engraved aluminum bowls and trays.
Lodge Cast Iron Cookware
Lodge has been manufacturing cookware in Tennessee since 1896 and is one of America's oldest and continuously operated cookware companies.  Lodge cast iron skillets, grill pans, and dutch ovens make fabulous wedding gifts and will last for ever. The Lodge Logic Cast Iron 3 Qt. Combo Skillet Cooker Set is a great gift choice, and the Lodge Logic 5 Quart Cast Iron Dutch Oven is as well.

Disclosure: USA Love List received some products in this post unconditionally for review purposes. Our opinions are always our own, and we aim to write fair and balanced reviews to promote only the very best of American-made products.
We received a set of Calphalon pots and pans when we got married (a while back), and we absolutely LOVE them. I never even realized that they were made in America. I think some people think that you can't get good products that are American made and Calphalon is the prefect example that you absolutely can.
My recent post Where has the time gone?
How wonderful it would be if we could do what ABC News suggested, and I try really hard, but I have a Calphalon Pn (I got my sweetheart to buy it for me for Christmas. It's this one: http://store.calphalon.com/calphalon-simply-calph… and it said 'made in China' on the box. Is it only certain series that are made in the USA?
I would be really interested if you would check that out.
Thanks for letting us know about this. We will contact Calphalon directly and get the scoop.
I’ve given so much Calphalon as wedding gifts – always seems to be one piece or many on wedding registries! So nice to learn that they are American-made!
My Kitchen Aid mixer is one of the best gifts I ever got!
I’m very surprised that I don’t see Lodge anywhere on your website or amazon store. They are very proud to manufacture in the states and are great quality.
You are right Robin! We love Lodge cast-iron. They last forever and they are one brand you can always find in the big box stores. I only wish their new enamelware that compares to Le Creuset was made in the USA. So just check your labels when buying Lodge but it is definitely a great pick.
Just stumbled across your website from Yahoo. I am very passionate about AM and I try my best to always purchase AM. I own a Kitchen Aid stand mixer and it is not all AM my bowl is made in India. My hubby purchase this mixer about 3 yrs ago not online but at Macy’s.
Keep up the good work!! Many people believe in American Made products.
Here’s an update from Calphalon on which of their lines are still Made in the USA:
“We currently produce our products in many locations. The bulk of our cookware which is manufactured from aluminum, is still produced here in Toledo, Ohio. Our Stainless Steel and Cast Iron products are entirely produced overseas. Likewise our Utensils, Bakeware, Electrics and Kitchen Gadgets are also produced overseas.”
So it is their classic lines of pots and pans, made from aluminum, that you want if you are aiming to buy American-made.
It never occurred to me to shop USA for wedding gifts, but that can also be part of what makes the gift special. I didn’t realize these great name brands are made in the USA – have to make sure I use these!!!
We’re a small company that makes ceramic dinnerware by hand, in Corrales New Mexico USA. Our place settings have been hugely popular registry gifts, and are durable long-lasting heirloom pieces. Our website is hanselmannpottery.com
I agree with your list, and I’ve bought a few items on it. I have one suggested addition – Rada Cutlery, which is made in Waverly, Iowa. When a bride registers for a pizza stone made in China, I just substitute it for a Rada one. Their website is: http://www.radacutlery.com/best .
great suggestions. i’ve been to the forge you mentioned
Great ideas. I especially like the Lodge cast iron. It’s a gift that lasts a lifetime!
Thanks for including Tervis. They make great wedding gifts. You can even monogram or personalize with wedding photos.
