July Fourth is a day like none other in these parts. As we celebrate freedom and independence with a healthy dose of rebellion thrown in, I’m sharing some personal favorites that not only honor the land of the free and the home of the brave, but also the plucky, determined American character.

First up, no one brings the American terrain to vibrant life quite like the Anna Bond! I love her color palette, somehow these destinations seem that much more exquisite than you picture them in your mind. Rifle’s United States of America art print is available in three sizes, and you can even add a custom frame.

If you are not yet acquainted with catstudio, it’s time to change that! Each of these sensational hand-embroidered pillows takes about two weeks to stitch using organic cotton thread before being finished with black velvet piping and a three-button closure. It’s pretty hard to squeeze the Continental USA’s 3,537,441 square miles into 432 square inches of embroidery, but this magnificent pillow does so with fabulous flair!

I am a big fan of Corkcicle’s canteens — I have an oversized pink one that is always a joy to use. These two starry-eyed canteens are crafted from stainless steel with proprietary triple insulation. They keeps drinks cold for up to 25 hours (and even longer if you put ice in). Drinks stay hot for up to 12. No freezing or sweating here!

Finally, I have one another product from one of my all-time favorite all-American makers: Emily McDowell & Friends. This heavyweight canvas American Values Tote has proven so popular, it’s a magnet now too!

So before you head out for a well-deserved day and night of festivities — in the middle of the week, no less — consider indulging in these American beauties to let your love of the good old USA to shine all year! Happy Fourth, everyone. Be safe
