According to a study released by American Express and The Harrison Group, 65% of high-end shoppers now prefer to buy American. That’s good news for companies who make their products in the U.S. Brands like Tiffany & Co., whose jewelry is made in the U.S., and Topcor, where each Clipa is made in house in Irvine, CA. Worldwide, American made products are coveted for their high quality. Last week, a study by J.D. Power & Associates showed American loyalty to U.S. car manufacturers is rising.

In today’s Los Angeles Times, an article appeared about the germs found in restaurant play lands. Chandler Arizona mother Erin Carr-Jordan has collected and sent samples from restaurant play areas in seven states to labs for testing. The results? Pathogens–including staphylococcus and streptococcus–were detected in many of the samples. Although more dangerous bacteria such as MRSA and listeria weren’t detected, they could be present. Since kids might need a boost up or a hand in a ball pit; how can you help them without giving those nasty germs a hand? The Clipa instant handbag hanger. This smart purse hook can hang purses from narrow spaces commonly found on play structures as well as fencing, rails and tables. Clipa keeps your handbag or backpack off surfaces and away from germs. Antibacterial wipes or pocket sized sprays are handy if you visit these areas often and before leaving, always wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water.
