Montana-Made Merchandise
Montana-Made treasures
If you’re looking to bring home a true taste of Montana, Billings offers plenty of shops and markets where every item is crafted with local pride. Downtown is a great place to start, with spots like Joy of Living, known for its Montana-made gifts and whimsical décor, and This House of Books, a community-owned bookstore that highlights regional authors and locally crafted goods.
Visitors can also stop into Rock Creek Soaps, a woman-owned shop offering handmade soaps, candles, and bath products created right in Billings, or browse the Yellowstone Art Museum Store, where jewelry, prints, and gifts reflect the work of Montana artists.
Frae Collective is a modern marketplace that brings together local makers and small businesses under one roof. The shop features eco-friendly and socially conscious goods ranging from pantry items to body care.
Those looking for wearable Montana treasures will find them in places like Terakedis Fine Art & Jewelry, which often showcases pieces made with local stones, or Montague’s Jewelers and Goldsmith Gallery, both known for featuring the iconic Yogo sapphire. Western flair shines through at boutiques that carry Montana Silversmiths jewelry and belt buckles, handcrafted with a nod to cowboy culture.
For gourmet treats, shops such as Zest Billings stock huckleberry jams, candies and artisan snacks from across the state. Check out Brockel’s Chocolates for locally crafted sweet treats. Local breweries, including By All Means and Meadowlark Brewing, also offer take-home cans, growlers and branded merchandise as authentic Montana souvenirs.
Markets and seasonal events round out the experience, offering visitors the chance to connect directly with makers. The Yellowstone Valley Farmers Market brings together dozens of vendors selling handmade crafts, baked goods, textiles and specialty foods, while the Downtown Billings ArtWalk invites shoppers to meet artists and purchase original works. Larger showcases like the Made in Montana Marketplace occasionally pop up in Billings as well, celebrating artisans and products from across the state.
If there are any anglers in your travel party, a visit to Stonefly Studios is a “must” to pick up a custom-made river map fly box – a perfect piece of Montana that lets you showcase your favorite fishing flies in a bespoke wooden box with expertly hand-drawn river maps.
