Consumer Watch: Patriotic Merchandise Web Sites

UPDATED: 7:56 a.m. EDT October 9, 2001

Many viewers have called and e-mailed WTAE-TV asking where to find American flags and other patriotic memorabilia.

Wendy In USA Hat Local party stores and novelty shops cannot keep up with demand, but these well-stocked Web sites have plenty of items for sale.

Politicalgifts.com has plenty of American and military flags. The site also sells flag buttons and magnets, ribbons and lapel pins.

For more unique, crafty kinds of gifts, try dtgifts.com. The items are more expensive, Bell reports, but they're decorator pieces and not trinkets. You can also call the store at 208-265-0698.

4thofjulyproducts.com has more American paraphernalia. The company's toll-free number is 888-947-4400, ext. 240.

Last week, Wendy Bell reported on Albertsgifts.com, which connected people to a local man's warehouse of patriotic merchandise.

Also, Shannon Perrine visited Castle Printing in McKeesport, where thousands of buttons and pins are produced each day. The company's Web site is www.castleprinting.com.
