Holiday shopping in Cody Yellowstone comes with some pretty good stories. There’s a third-generation boot shop on Sheridan Avenue, a Meeteetse cowboy who makes chocolate, and local artists keeping Western craftsmanship alive.
We’ve rounded up some of our favorite gifts from local and regional businesses, each with a little Cody Yellowstone character. So, grab your list and see what the Untamed & True West has in store.
A good pair of cowboy boots never goes out of style, and a new pair of Ariat Western boots makes a pretty fine present for anyone who appreciates the cowboy look.
Find them at Wayne’s Boot Shop, a third-generation family business that’s been outfitting Cody since 1959. From traditional Western styles to boots made for long days on the ranch, the team knows their footwear and can help you find just the right fit.
A little silver goes a long way. A Western-inspired necklace or pair of earrings from Montana Silversmiths makes a great gift for someone who appreciates a bit of cowboy character in their wardrobe.
Head to The Cowboy Palace on Sheridan Avenue to browse its jewelry selection, including pieces from Montana Silversmiths. You’ll also find hats, belts, and plenty more for anyone looking to add some Western style to their wardrobe.
Here’s a gift that might not survive until Christmas morning.
Cody Crunch is a local favorite from Cowtown Candy Company, made with buttery corn puffs coated in creamy white chocolate. It’s sweet, salty, crunchy, and hard to stop eating once you open the bag.
Pick up a bag or two for stocking stuffers, holiday gatherings, or that friend who insists they don’t have a sweet tooth. And if you want to shake things up, try Cowtown Crunch, which adds a chocolate drizzle to the original recipe.
Rodeo cowboy Tim Kellogg started making chocolates to help pay for a new bronc saddle. What began as a side project eventually took him to Paris and London to study chocolate making, and today his Meeteetse Chocolatier has become a destination for chocolate lovers.
For a gift with a little Wyoming character, put together a box of his handmade truffles. Alongside classics like raspberry and mocha, you’ll find more adventurous flavors such as huckleberry, prickly pear cactus, and Wyoming whiskey.
Five generations of beekeeping have taught the folks at Queen Bee Gardens a thing or two about sweet treats.
Their handcrafted honey caramels come in an assortment of flavors, but the huckleberry variety is a particularly good way to share a taste of the Rocky Mountain region. For another sweet surprise, try their signature Honeymoons, honey-infused chocolate treats.
Made in Lovell, Wyoming, these sweets can be ordered online and sent straight to someone’s door. It’s a delicious way to share a little Wyoming goodness for the holidays.
For someone who prefers savory snacks to Christmas cookies, a Wild Boar Snack Pack from Wyoming Buffalo Company should do the trick.
This ready-made gift box combines wild boar summer sausage with smoked cheddar cheese, sourdough crackers, and champagne mustard. There are even a couple of chocolate treats tucked inside for good measure.
The family-owned shop on Sheridan Avenue also carries bison, elk, and venison sausages, jerky, and an assortment of Rocky Mountain berry preserves. It’s a great place to pick up something different for the food lover on your list.
For a gift that comes out of the box every December, consider a handmade ornament from By Western Hands Museum & Gallery.
Among the gallery’s creations are fused-glass snowflake ornaments by artist Ashley Delonas, along with handcrafted leather ornaments and other decorative pieces made by Western artisans.
They’re a lovely way to give someone a piece of Cody Yellowstone to hang on their tree, while supporting the artists and craftspeople who keep Western traditions alive.
Know someone who would rather spend their weekend climbing a mountain than sitting on the couch? Give them a few new places to explore.
Sunlit Trails, written by the team at Cody’s Sunlight Sports, features 90 trails across six regions of Northwest Wyoming and Yellowstone. It includes day hikes, backpacking routes, trail descriptions, difficulty ratings, and practical advice from people who know these landscapes firsthand.
With 90 trails to explore, it’s a pretty fine addition to any hiking pack, especially for someone with Northwest Wyoming adventures on the horizon.
