They have one side with about 50% off the price, and the other side changes. If you love a deal, go. The family that owns it is a bonus, I like chatting with them when I go in. They have a great attitude. I've gone three times so far, my sister and daughter go every week.

My husband and I do mountainman fur trade recreation and this is the best store to get authentic (well authentic as new beads can be, LOL) beads for my beadwork. And they are very nice to help out on steering you in the right direction if you have questions. I've not shopped in the rest of the store but it seems pretty nice. Not cheap wanna-be native american stuff. Or tourist-y stuff.

This happened to me and my prized possessions came back to me sad! I took my beautiful family ring into Buffalo Chips and had no worries. The staff works on your stuff right there! They can walk you through the process and describe all the details--giving you peace of mind. My husband stopped in the shop to get me an anniversary present--I was not disappointed with beautiful Montana sapphires and a Montana necklace. This place is my go to spot for all things jewelry--whether that's repair, commissions, or purchasing for that special someone.

Long story short, my puppy ate the baby's car seat when my family and I were on vacation at…read moreYellowstone. Since we drove to Montana from Los Angeles, and still needed to drive back to LA, we needed a new car seat ASAP. Drove over the Beartooth Mountains into Billings and found this gem of a store. The girls who were working there were so nice. The manager, Brittany, was the best and very knowledgeable. They only had 1 convertible car seat (the Nuna Rava) but they had it available in all 3 color options. I bought it in Frost. [Note: I called Bed Bath and Beyond and they didn't have a single convertible car seat available in store! Target had a terrible selection.] I could have looked around the store for hours and bought half their stock for infant boys, but I exercised self restraint and focused on the task at hand. I will for sure end up buying stuff off their website because they carry the cutest, high quality merchandise! I really wish there was a store like this in LA.

Big beads, "sorta" big beads, medium beads, medium-small beads, little beads, tiny beads, and even tinier beads barely visible to the eye. Glass beads and crystals. Here, you can buy the rainbow. Or just one color in the spectrum. Heck, you don't even need to buy a bead, you can buy stones, instead. And those, too, come in multiple sizes and colors. Some with patterns, some not. All of this leads to the inevitable -- what to do with the stash you see and buy. Make jewelry of course, or add some decoration to a favorite item. Anything you want. If making jewelry is your passion, or a wannabe passion, come here. They have all the supplies you need -- metal wire of every kind, chains in multiple sizes and styles, string, even large metal pieces to decorate or string. On the wall are some ready-made items for sale if you want to pretend a) you know the artist personally and bought it directly or b) that you made it yourself. Buy the Bead also offers classes and if you're looking for guidance or help in gathering things for your vision -- ask. It's clear they love what they do here.

I mentioned earlier it is Cordura nylon, not ballistic nylon, for most of the pieces. That has not been a problem. The Air Boss has logged a hundred flights and been in use for more than a decade. It shows minor scuffing. Repairs are done cheerfully, at reasonable cost. Really this is a company I am pleased to patronize. I have zero complaints. I wish they made their rail stuff in a smaller size. But I'm a repeat customer. I've bought multiple bags as gifts too.

We came for the children's books, and I was pleased to see many selections I'd yet to see elsewhere. The prices are definitely higher than an online purchase, but you vote with your dollar, and this is one business I'm glad to support where I can! The general manager told me it's actually a book co-op, owned by share holders. It was very interesting to learn about! We will be frequenting this location when we are in the market for new books or just a relaxing cup of tea!

Unfortunately ThebHouse of Books & Tea would fall into the latter category. I've actually visited this bookstore three time. The first time I made a purchase, the second two times was to browse I'm hopes of purchasing and the third time was to offer my assistance volunteeringly. On my third visit I was met with hatred and prejudice and worst - judgement. It's so unfortunate given the nature of their business... selling books. I expected to find a group of creative, free thinking, intellectuals. What I discovered was a person full of hate.and emptiness. I wouldn't waste my time unless of course you are the type of individual to support this type of "thinking."
