I'll start the shameless promotion of Michigan-made gifts with my wife Annie's Aurora Borealis Designs beautiful beach glass & silver jewelry. I'd also like to point you at the Leelanau Holiday Gift Guide we put together on Leelanau.com. Gifts that I'll be giving include William G. Milliken: Michigan's Passionate Moderate by Dave Dempsey (read an excerpt!) and something from The Heifer Project. I really hope all of will feel welcome to add to the list - even just a Michigan gift you'd like to get!!
