Find Boots That Were Made for Buying

This holiday season, trade in your Christmas stocking for a cowboy boot! If you’re in the Cody Yellowstone area, Wayne’s Boot Shop features a great selection of top-of-the-line cowboy boots. Their expert staff can make sure you find the perfect boots for your needs, as well as all sorts of accessories to complete the look.

Unleash Your Inner Cowboy

Speaking of the Western look, the Cowboy Palace is the ideal spot to visit for head-to-toe Western wear for the whole family. Whether you’re looking for hats, clothing, jewelry from Montana Silversmiths, or other accessories, the Cowboy Palace has you covered. For those who go beyond looking the part, head over to Custom Cowboy for an assortment of working cowboys essentials. From tack and equipment to handmade knives, books, and apparel, this is where cowboys go for tools of the trade.

Give a Taste of the Old West

Looking for something deliciously different for the foodie on your list? Have we got a tasty suggestion for you! From the heart of downtown Cody Yellowstone, the Wyoming Buffalo Company offers the finest selection of wild game sausages, salami, and jerky, as well as syrups, preserves, and candies made from local native berries.

Then, make your way to Cowtown Candy for all kinds of seasonal gifts and treats, as well as their signature offering, Cody Crunch! These buttery corn puffs coated in special white chocolate are a year-round favorite, but especially tasty during the holidays!

Put the Pedal to the Metal

Is there someone in your life who loves to get outside and explore? Help them hit the trails with a new ride from Joyvagen! Joyvagen is home to all things bike in Cody Yellowstone, and their friendly and knowledgeable staff can help you find the perfect ride for anybody in your life. Bert of all, Joyvagen’s team is also able to do repairs and tune-ups — what better way to show you care than by ensuring the biker in your brood is all set for a day of cycling?

Treat a Friend to a Sweet Surprise

You haven’t tasted chocolate until it’s been made by a Wrangler-wearing, belt buckle-boasting, hat-tipping cowboy. Tim Kellogg of Meeteetse Chocolatier traded in his boots for bonbons and now makes a delicious array of artisanal chocolates, truffles, and treats, including seasonal flavors like candy cane, gingerbread, and eggnog.

Share a Meal

Cody Yellowstone is home to some fantastic restaurants, and there’s no better way to show someone you care than with a great conversation over a delicious meal. Consider supporting one of our many local establishments like Blanca Tatanka, Sitti’s Table, Cody Steakhouse, Trailhead, and more, by going out to eat or purchasing a gift card. 

And, if you’re hoping to have some friends and family over for a meal, pick up some treats from Wyoming Heritage Grains, or grab a gift card for the enthusiastic amateur chef in your life.

Brighten Up Someone’s Day

Want to light up someone’s life during the holidays? Olive & Pearl offers a wonderful collection of handcrafted coconut-wax candles in popular scents such as Lemongrass + Coconut, Magnolia, or their new Brown Sugar + Fig. And for seasonal scents, try Spiced Cider, Cranberry Chutney, Pumpkin + Clove, and more.

Go Western for a One-of-a-Kind Gift 

From Western accessories and jewelry to unique furnishings and décor: Shop for some of the best locally made wares at the artisan organization By Western Hands Museum & Gallery. An added bonus: A portion of your purchase supports their mission to educate, conserve, and perpetuate the legacy of Western functional art and design. 

For smaller gifts that support the local community, make your way to Powell to explore Heartworks Crafters. Heartworks offers a unique opportunity for local artisans to sell and display their fantastic creations. From alpaca socks and gloves to hand-carved sculptures — you’re sure to find a special gift for everyone on your list here.  

Say Cheers to Some Beers

To really put a smile on the face of the beer lover in your life, give a gift card from Cody Craft Brewing. Keeping it local whenever they can — using locally grown or sourced ingredients in their brewing process — the company offers a wide range of beers such as Buffalo Bilsner, Jellystone Sour, and Cast Iron Coffee Stout. 

Help Keep the West Wild 

And for the aspiring cowboy or cowgirl on your list, here’s a unique gift idea. Give a membership to the non-profit Buffalo Bill Center of the West, home to five separate world-class museums: the Buffalo Bill Museum, Cody Firearms Museum, Whitney Western Art Museum, Plains Indian Museum, and the Draper Natural History Museum.
