Meet the Heart Behind Beartooth Wild

Hi, I'm Ella! I am an 18-year-old entrepreneur and there is nothing I love more than my home state, Montana! I'm small-town girl with a big love for meaningful gifts, wild places, and the people who hold us together. I grew up in a town where you wave at every passing truck and neighbors swap casseroles during hard times. That spirit of "show up, pitch in, lift each other" is stitched into everything I do.

 I am currently getting my business management degree while working as a cashier at my home-town grocery store, and I am hoping this will give me a head start in my goals. The most amazing thing I've seen is the outfits in Montana doing everything they can to help those in their community, and I want to help them in return.

Beartooth Wild was born from the belief that a good gift should feel like a warm hug from home. After years of living between summers off the grid in Alaska and everyday life in a tight knit Montana town, I've come to deeply appreciate the power of community, simple comforts, and handmade touches. I wanted to start a business to help the amazing locally owned shops in Montana gain popularity. 

Each box I create is more than just a bundle of goodies--it's a story, a memory, and a reminder that someone cares. I hand select every item with heart, partnering with incredible Montana makers and small businesses who put soul into their crafts.

Whether you're sending love from across the country or just up the road, I hope these boxes bring a little bit of Montana's wild beauty - and a whole lot of joy - to whoever opens them.

Thank you for supporting my dream and the many small businesses in Montana! Let's make gifting feel like coming home.
