Huckleberry Goodies by Huckleberry Haven

If you’re looking for a classic Montana gift, huckleberries are the way to go. At Montana Gift Corral, we carry a wide selection of Made in Montana huckleberry products from Huckleberry Haven, where every berry is handpicked, because they can’t be commercially grown.

You’ll find everything from huckleberry jam and huckleberry syrup to coffee, chocolate, and more. These sweet and tart treats are a true taste of Montana and make fantastic last-minute hostess gift ideas.

Wrap up a jar of jam with a pretty ribbon, or pair a bottle of syrup with pancake mix for a cozy breakfast gift. It’s thoughtful, local, and oh-so-delicious!

Bottle Stoppers and Openers by Blue Moose Metals

For the host or hostess who loves a good drink, Blue Moose Metals is where it’s at. This Missoula-based company crafts gorgeous, functional pieces that are as unique as the people you’re gifting them to.

A personalized bottle stopper is perfect for the wine enthusiast, while their bottle openers are a great match for someone who loves a good bottled beer. And for the holidays, their ornaments make a sweet little extra to tie on top of a gift bag or basket!

These Montana-made products aren’t just practical, they’re little pieces of art that show you care!
