If you are anything like me, your gifting gets done at the absolute last minute as you struggle to find the perfect gift for each and every person on your list, hopefully this gift guide for Made in Montana products will make that process a little easier!

There are of course those on the list that tell you exactly what they are looking for … if only everyone was that easy! On the other hand, there is something so special about picking out that perfect gift for a loved one and seeing their face light up as they unwrap something they weren’t expecting. As I mentioned in the Baking with Wheat Montana post, there is pride to be found in shopping local and when possible taking that one step further to purchase Made in Montana products. Luckily for us, there is an extensive list of these products as well as local gift shops that can be found throughout Southwest Montana which offer the perfect gifts!

Most of these shops offer online ordering options, so don’t worry if you are not able to make it into the store! You’ll find everything from Montana designs and clothing to candles and pottery. You’ll even find some jerky, craft spirits and candy on the list!
