There is something for everyone at Bear Necessities Trading Company

This beautiful family-run upscale gift shop, located at 822 Main Street in St. Maries, recently celebrated their first year of business.

Donny and Marva, the owners, have done a tremendous job of creating a community-friendly space, with a little playhouse in the back for littles, and a lovely eclectic assortment of gifts for people of all ages and for all occasions.

The store showcases primarily boutique, small company, and Made In the U.S.A. products throughout, including t-shirts, gems and minerals, crafty wooden signs, beautiful jewelry, specializing in Southwest styles, soaps, body care, souvenirs, crafts, knives, and so much more.

No need to make the long trek to Coeur d'Alene or Moscow to find that perfect gift for the special people in your life, when you can find great gifts right here and support a local family-owned business to boot. Marva told us that they are absolutely willing to go the extra mile, and if they don't have something you are looking for, they will be glad to work with you to special order something that will fit the bill.

Having fun and connecting with community is a big part of what drove Donny and Marva to open up this lovely store, so feel free to stop by Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with winter hours closing at 4:30 p.m. and find something unique, creative, thoughtful, and beautiful.
