The snow is melting, the sun is starting to peek out, and it's clear to us that a brand-new season is arriving. Hello Spring! We're so glad to see you.
After a long, cold, snowy winter here in Montana, springtime is always a welcome visitor. What better way to celebrate the change in seasons than with some fun Big Sky State-inspired and Made in Montana gifts, housewares, accessories, and more? You've come to the perfect spot for a little spring shopping. We asked our staff to share their spring favorites, and here’s what they chose!
Hand-Thrown Clay Pottery from MJB Ceramics
From spring to summer, and fall to winter, coffee and tea are comforting drinks to enjoy year-round here in Montana. We might be a little biased, but when it comes to choosing the perfect brew or tea blend, keeping it local is key! If you're looking for an awesome Montana coffee company to support we love Morning Glory Coffee. They've been roasting coffee for over 15 years in West Yellowstone, MT, and are a fan favorite. For tea lovers, Steep Mountain Tea House in downtown Bozeman is a great choice!
Now, for every deliciously roasted coffee, or unique tea blend, you'll need to get your hands on a mug that is just as amazing! Newer to our stores, MJB Ceramics creates amazing mugs, dishes, and more that add character to any kitchen. Crafted here in Bozeman, these Montana-made mugs are crafted from hand-thrown clay on a potter's wheel by artist Matthew Biasotti. Each mug is completely one-of-a-kind and comes in a couple of colorways–a beautiful blue glaze or a classic neutral glaze. Plus, it's available in three sizes (small, medium, and large) so that you can choose the perfect mug for your coffee or tea-drinking habits!
Montana-Inspired Accessories from Beyond Cushions
Now that spring has arrived and the weather is warming up, it's time to start spending more time outdoors!
