There's no denying that the holidays are hectic. From going all out on holiday decorating to attending a never-ending stream of Christmas parties with your loved ones, and maybe even a community event or two, it's easy for things to fall through the cracks. If you're feeling a little strung out, and haven't gotten around to finding those perfect Christmas gifts, we have your back. Here are our top picks for last-minute gifts for anyone on your list this year!

Huckleberry Goodies

If you are looking for an easy gift that anyone on your Christmas list will love, you've surely come to the right place. Whether you're finding a gift for a Montana local or a Montana lover, you can't go wrong with anything huckleberry! What makes Montana huckleberries special is that they cannot be grown commercially. Each and every berry that has been used to create our delicious goodies from Huckleberry Haven and Huckleberry People has been collected by hand. They're a true treat from the mountains of Montana!

You can't go wrong with anything you choose from our line of Huckleberry Food and Huckleberry Gifts. If the person you're choosing a gift for has a sweet tooth, we know they'll love any of our several flavors of huckleberry candy bars. From dark chocolate to white chocolate, we have a flavor for every candy craver! If your loved one is more of a taste tester, we recommend grabbing them the Huckleberry Syrup and Jam Gift Box. This set includes a 10 oz. bottle of Huckleberry Syrup, a 3 oz. jar of Raz-Huck Jam, and a 3 oz. Jar of Huckleberry Jam. Who doesn't love getting a little bit of everything?!

Warm Weather Accessories

If you are looking for a last-minute gift that is both thoughtful and practical, check out our line of winter accessories from Sapphire Suri. Sapphire Suri Alpaca is a Montana-based company that uses cutting-edge knitting tech and alpaca wool to create high-quality scarves and beanies.

You can choose from our range of beanies or scarves from Sapphire Suri (or even get a matching set!). The beanies feature a 2x2 ribbed style and are available in 7 different colors. Plus, they are super lightweight, weighing in at only 1.7 oz. Our scarves from Sapphire Suri are available in 14 different styles and only weigh 5.5 oz! Anyone on your list would appreciate a gift that would keep them extra warm this winter. 

Fun fact: Alpaca wool is comprised of hollow fibers that trap air and body heat, providing extra warmth versus sheep wool. So cool!

Books for the Kiddos

If you have a little kiddo in your life that needs a Christmas gift this year, we have plenty of options! Among our favorites is the Christmas Visitors Book by Karel Hayes. Karel Hayes has written 7 books and has illustrated over 25! You might have come across her illustrations in your social studies books or even in Appleseeds Magazine. We love the worlds she creates in her work!

Christmas Visitors tells the story of a family of bears that live near a cottage by a lake. The bears are getting ready to celebrate Christmas, however, the human family who owns the cottage unfortunately leave their presents on the train and feel like their holiday fun is ruined. Bear family the the rescue! Behind the human's back, the bears put in overtime to restore the holiday spirit for this family's celebrations, and ultimately rescue Christmas! 

Whether you are 4 or 40, this book is beloved by all, and will surely make an excellent last-minute Christmas gift!

Made-in-Montana Treats

When it comes to choosing the perfect last-minute Christmas gift, you can't go wrong with our selection of treats that are made right here in Montana. Caramel Cookie Waffles from Dutch Brothers, Huckleberry Coffee from Morning Glory, Wilderness Tea by Steep Mountain Tea House, the list goes on! One of our top picks, however, is undeniably Bequet Caramels.

They have a dedication to quality and that surely stands out in their deliciously buttery treats!
