The holidays are a time of tradition, of connection and of cherishing the ones you love. Naturally, you want the gifts you buy to express your love and gratitude. And you certainly want them to be worth your hard-earned money.
With that in mind, consider the gift of quality, ingenuity and American craftsmanship with Grip6, a local brand that makes high-quality, American-made belts, wallets and socks that will last for a lifetime. Here are just a few reasons why you — and everyone on your list — will love what Grip6 has to offer.
Each one tells a story
Grip6 isn't just any company; it's a proud emblem of what American dedication can achieve.
"As a father of five young children, I felt like I was throwing out broken toys constantly," Grip6 founder BJ Minson says. "I have a low tolerance for waste and it bothered me more and more over time. I began to notice most products, not just toys, were cheap, low quality, and disposable."
Minson was also troubled that very few products seemed to be made domestically. According to McKinsey & Company, manufacturing accounts for $2.3 trillion in gross domestic product and employs 12 million people. And yet it only accounts for 11% of U.S. GDP.
That's when Minson knew he needed to create something people loved, and he wanted it to be simple, functional, long-lasting — and made in the U.S. So he started with belts. It wasn't easy, and many business experts told him it couldn't be done. But eventually, he figured out how to manufacture his belts domestically and has since expanded his Grip6 product line.
Each belt, wallet or pair of socks that comes out of their workshop tells a story of passion, resilience and the pursuit of excellence.
Built to last — forever
It all starts with the materials. Grip6 believes that their customers deserve nothing but the best. This isn't just a motto; it's a commitment they take to heart.
Every belt is crafted from a singular piece of high-grade material, ensuring durability and a sleek, timeless design.
The wallets are thoughtfully designed, not just to hold essentials but to stand the test of time. Even their socks are crafted from the highest quality wool, sourced right from the Rocky Mountains.
Many fast fashion products wear, rip or tear within weeks or months. At Grip6, the aerospace-grade materials they use to make their products are built to last for decades. And if your item ever wears out, you can exchange it for free on their website. That's a lifetime guarantee.
Made with heart
But it's not just about the materials. It's about the hands that mold, shape and refine them. The engineers at Grip6 pour their heart and soul into every product to make sure that each item isn't just functional but durable. They understand the importance of the holiday season and the sentiments behind every gift.
The beauty of an American-made Christmas is that it brings you closer to home, to your roots. These gifts become reminders of the strength of the nation and the grit of its people. Grip6 stands as a symbol of these values, ensuring that every Christmas gift is a reflection of love, care and the American spirit.
