The craft brewing and distilling scene has been booming in the West for a while now, but the guys at Big Lost Meadery are doing things a little differently. Located in historic downtown Gillette, Big Lost creates a honey-based liquor that is sure to keep you warm on a brisk Wyoming evening. The first and only meadery in Wyoming, Big Lost calls to your inner viking. Plus, they make some great mead. Their honey concoctions are meant to be consumed from a horn, but no matter how you drink it we recommend that you buy an extra bottle for yourself.

Go Slo & Surf Wyoming

Fun fact: the first river surfing ever recorded in America took place on the Snake River right here in Wyoming. Surf Wyoming is a fun and visually pleasing apparel brand that sits at the base of the Bighorn Mountains in one of Wyoming’s most charming western towns — Sheridan.

Recently, Surf Wyoming & Go Slo partnered together to open a store front in Cheyenne, too. At this location, Go Slo Wyo represents Wyoming’s wild, windy and free spirit. Their love for celebrating Wyoming can be seen in their artful graphic apparel, jewelry, prints and iconic bison hats, all of which are certain to delight any Wyoming-loving friend on your gift list.

Queen Bee Honey

Queen Bee Honey

This family-run business has been gathering honey from bees for over 40 years in Lovell, Wyoming. The honey is used to make soaps, candles, lotions and, most famously, candy. Queen Bee Honey is best known for its honey caramels, but you can also find truffels, toffee and more for the sweet tooth on your list. While candies are only available in-store, you can find other products, including honey, online. You’ll find the sweetest Wyoming gifts here.

Centennial Woods

There’s truly nothing quite like a quality handmade wood piece of furniture or art. Not only are the products from Centennial Woods beautiful, but they’re also made from recycled Wyoming snow fences. In case you’re not familiar, snow fences (ranging in lengths of 6 to 12 feet) line many of Wyoming’s highways to prevent snow from piling on the roads. Turns out, Wyoming’s weather is the perfect aging process for the fences and the folks at Centennial Woods create furniture, decor and stunning wood paneling with the upcycled wood

Meeteetse Chocolatier

Meeteetse Chocolatier

If you don’t think artisan chocolates and cowboys go hand in hand, then we’ve got news for you: They do. Tim Kellogg originally made truffles to sell at the Cody Stampede to raise money for a new bronc saddle, and to put it simply, the rest is history. The Meeteetse Chocolatier uses only the best ingredients, and each item is made fresh by Tim every day in his shop in Meeteetsee. These chocolates aren’t meant to be frozen or stored, so we recommend planning accordingly if you order online. Our advice: Treat yourself to one of these Wyoming gifts by ordering an extra box just for you.

The Bent & Rusty

This Laramie store was founded by a woman, Billie Eckhardt, who had a passion for creating furnishings from reclaimed materials. She started a booth at a local flea market with two other women, one specializing in jewelry and one specializing in quilts. The three went on to open a store that continues to sell those types of products plus antiques, glassware, soap and more. While a majority of their products can only be found in-store, you can shop a small selection of what they sell online.
