The Saint Paul Cube is one of many unique Minnesota gifts featured in the Made in Minnesota Holiday Gift Guide= which is published by Minnesota 2020.
According to Minnesota 2020 Fellow Lee Egerstrom:
Buying Minnesota-made products will improve Minnesota’s economy and environment. If Minnesota families spent 25% of their holiday shopping budget on Minnesota-made goods, the small business ripple effect would feel more like a tidal wave. Additionally, Minnesota-made goods represent a dramatically reduced “carbon footprint,” an increasingly important Minnesota family lifestyle value.
Full disclosure: the Saint Paul Cube is actually a global operation; it was designed in Saint Paul and Rome, Italy and manufactured in China by Made in Museum. Nonetheless, it is the brainchild of local preservationists and all proceeds from the Saint Paul Cube go to support Historic Saint Paul’s neighborhood preservation, advocacy, cultural heritage outreach and education programming.
Historic Saint Paul also encourages you to peruse the Made in Minnesota Gift Guide= and support the local artists, craftspeople, chefs and retailers this holiday season.
