BEST MONTANA-MADE SOUVENIRS

There's no denying it - Montana has it all.

The Treasure state is abundant with trout-filled streams and alpine lakes, snow-crested jagged mountains and prairies filled with bison and antelope. But there's more to the story: Montana also has a mountain lion's share of small businesses and local artists producing some of the highest quality products anywhere in the world.

At Montana Gift Corral, we proudly support these creators and entrepreneurs and the beauty they bring to our western state. Here's some of our favorite Montana-made souvenirs!

Huckleberry Jam - 11 oz. Jar by Huckleberry Haven

Huckleberry Jam - 11 oz. Jar by Huckleberry Haven
Now, we can't mention Montana gifts without huckleberries!There is nothing quite like the taste of huckleberries. The perfect marriage between a cranberry and a blueberry, that deep, tart flavor makes you salivate at the very word. Add a hint of the wild outdoors, because huckleberries only grow wild on the edges of meadows in the Rocky Mountains, and you have yourself a flavor beyond comparison.

This Huckleberry Jam captures the true essence of the berry and allows you to enjoy it in your home whenever you'd like. Time and time again, people return to Montana seeking out huckleberries, which is why we offer it in an 11 oz jar that will hopefully be enough for the whole family.

It also makes a great gift for that foodie in your life, though we understand it's pretty hard to part with!
