Your Local Guide For Holiday Shopping in Billings, MT
‘Tis the season for turkey, Mariah Carey, Christmas lights, and of course LOTS of holiday shopping. Every single year I tell myself that I’m going to get all of my Christmas shopping done early…
And then the week of Christmas hits and I’m like, “oh crap! Did I buy so and so a gift?”
When that little bit of panic sets in, I freak out for a minute and might even Pinterest some DIY ideas that’ll get me by and then I remember… not EVERY Christmas gift has to be bought online.
In fact, there are tons of local businesses that have some really amazing things that all of the people on my list would love. And as someone who is BIG on community, I love to support local when I can.
Which is why this year, I decided to compile a local list of shops and stores in Billings, MT that have my stamp of approval that are GREAT options for holiday shopping.
Whether you’re searching for some local Black Friday deals, want to participate in Shop Small Saturday, or find yourself in a pickle like me and need somewhere to go for a quick gift, this list is for you!

I love thinking outside the box when it comes to holiday shopping and really try to put some extra effort into the gifts I give by making them really special to the person.
Anyone can order something on Amazon, but there are just some things in life that not everyone would buy for themselves and one of those things is often a color or style analysis.
I got my colors done a few years ago and it’s made getting ready SO much more fun and easier! And it just so happens that one of my besties owns a color analysis franchise in Billings, MT.
If you’re looking to gift an experience to the person on your list that’s hard to shop for, a color analysis appointment makes for a great option. It’s truly a gift that keeps on giving.
You can learn more about the owner, Kaitlyn, here and you can view her appointment calendar here!
Top Deck is my personal GO TO for all things facials, botox, laser hair removal, IV therapy, spray tans, and much more.
I’m friends with the owner, Jamie, and she is such a gem. She has an unbelievable passion for what she and her team do at Top Deck (you can read more about that here!) and even though I love gifting physical gifts, a gift card to Top Deck is a time where I’ll gladly make an exception.
If you have a girl (or guy!) on your list who seems to have everythinggggg already and you’re simply looking for a way to pamper her, look no further!
Looking for a non-traditional shopping experience where you’re sure to find some unique gifts? The antique mall is your best bet!
Inside you’ll find all sorts of vintage goods provided by various vendors and you truly never know what you’re going to stumble on.
With your finds at the antique mall, you won’t have to worry about someone duplicating your gift – it’ll truly be one of a kind.
Another unique shopping experience is located just a drive away in Laurel, MT!
The Front Porch is a creative boutique filled with handmade goods from women owned businesses, making the perfect spot to find something unique for someone on your holiday shopping list.
The boutique also doubles as a venue that you can rent for events or attend fun community workshops like cookie decorating, make your own signs and candle pouring, so if you want to gift an experience, click here to view their event calendar and schedule something fun!
While holiday shopping can be fun and it’s of course exciting to give and receive gifts, one thing that’s so apparent is how much STUFF we compile as humans over time.
If you’re in your minimalist era (or have someone on your list who is!), Frae Everyday Goods is the perfect shopping spot for you.
Their mission is to be a marketplace for shoppers who are overwhelmed by the process of sourcing and acquiring sustainable products for daily living and they pride themselves on their simplified shopping experience!
Inside their store, you’ll find a curated collection of household items that are truly useful. So, if you’re worried about someone receiving a gift and really not using it, try something new this year and stop into Frae for something unique and different.

While I’m definitely guilty of online shopping and adding to cart without blinking an eye, I challenge you to step outside of your comfort zone and actually go into your local stores and see what you find (I’ll be right there with ya!).
