Canadian gifts for large budgets
#1 A trip to Canada
Okay, let me start this list of Canadian gifts with the number one gift for someone who loves Canada:
A trip to Canada!
So if you have a large budget, head over to Skyscanner and book a flight and hotel for the recipient.
You can also go to Tinggly and book a fun tour or activity in Canada, such as a helicopter flight over Niagra Falls or a whale-watching tour. Tinggly is especially great for gifts since you can book the activity without picking a date, and have the recipient schedule the activity themselves.
Lastly, if you are not sure which type of activity the recipient likes, you can also go for the Tinggly gift card, that way the recipient can pick any activity they like!
#2 Canadian snack box
Do you know a Canadian who moved abroad? Then they must be missing something from home. So why not comfort them with this ultimate Canadian snack box?
It contains chocolates, candies, and snacks that carry the taste of nostalgia! It has lots of flavors that’ll make them tear up and think of their home.
If you’re a local yourself, this is also a great gift for yourself (we won’t judge) or for foreign friends and family. Give them a taste of your homeland!
#3 Canada landownership
This is probably the most unique Canadian gift idea on this list!
I know it sounds unrealistic, but you can actually gift a real piece of Canadian land to your friends or family members.
Once the one-time payment is done, they’ll receive an official title deed with their name on it. Plus, they get to use the piece of land whenever they like, whether for birthdays, weddings, Christmas, or even for just a picnic. It’s perfect for celebrating any occasion or just chilling out!
#4 Map of Canada
Maps of Canada are great Canadian gifts for people’s homes. The two options I liked the most were the illustrated print of Canada you can see in the photo and a personalized map of Canada.
The personalized map is a great wedding gift for people who got engaged or married in Canada. But also for people who simply love Canada. Because you can completely customize the message.
#5 Maple leaf waffle maker
Are you looking for the best Canadian gifts for people who love waffles? (And come on, who doesn’t love waffles?).
Then this waffle maker in the shape of a maple leaf is the perfect gift.
Fun fact.
Did you know that Canadians eat about 2,65 times more waffles than people from other countries?
Yeah, apparently the Canadians love waffles. (source).
#6 Canadian outdoor clothes
Canada is home to many great outdoor and winterwear fashion brands. One of those is Canada Goose. A great brand with high-quality outdoor clothing, such as the men’s rain jacket.
But really all items from Canada Goose will make great Canadian-made gifts.
#7 Local Canadian beauty box
Do you have a friend who just moved to Canada?
Why not get her up to trend with this monthly Canadian beauty box?
Let her explore the wonders of proud Canadian brands that’ll be the twist on her wonderful adventure and lifestyle. Allowing her a whole new experience – leaving her feeling both happy, patriotic, and beautiful!
#8 Canadian ice hockey jersey
Ice hockey is the official national sport of Canada, it has the highest number of indoor an outdoor rinks in the entire world!
So if you are looking for gifts from Canada for sports fans, a jersey of the national ice hockey team is the gift you need.
#9 Indigenous art
Want to buy Canadian-made gifts and support the indigenous community of Canada at the same time?
Give them a painting from indigenous artists on Canadian Indigenous Art. And if you’re not sure of their taste in art, you can also let them pick their own piece and buy a gift card instead.
All paintings are 100% original, very stunning, and unique pieces of art!

The art of soapstone carving has been a long tradition for the Inuits, an indigenous tribe in Canada. The earliest known carvings were believed to be worn by Inuit’s ancestors as an amulet to keep bad spirits away.
If you want your family or friends to get in touch with Canadian culture and tradition, then gifting them this DIY bear soapstone carving kit is the right way to go!
It’s great for kids and adults alike and might even spark their inner artist.

Tim Hortons (or as the locals say: Tim’s or Timmies) is the most popular coffee, donut, and restaurant chain in Canada. It’s a bit comparable to Dunkin’ Donuts or Starbucks (but don’t tell the Canadians, I said that).
So basically all items from Timmies will make great gifts from Canada!

Thinking of a useful and aesthetic gift for families new to Canada?
Give them this handmade cutting board! Not only is it of high quality that’ll last for years but it can also be personalized, giving that famous warm Canadian welcome.
#20 Traditional board game
Crokinole is a traditional dexterity game that originated in 1876 in Perth County, Ontario, Canada. It is said that it was made by Eckhardt Wettlaufer as a birthday present for his son.
The game is fairly simple. Each player will flick one disc towards the center of the board, once the first disc is on the board, the player must take turns in hitting another disc or else, the player must discard his disc which doesn’t count for any points. The first one to reach 100 points wins.
But if they get tired of all the action, they can just flip the board and play Checkers!
Canadian gifts for mid-budgets
#21 Ice wine
If you are looking for unique gifts from Canada, then a bottle of ice wine is the gift you need.
It’s perfect for people who love sweet dessert wines.
In case you are like me, and you are wondering how it’s possible for wine to be produced in such a cold area in the world. The grapes that are used for ice wine are actually supposed to be frozen in the vineyard, which gives them a unique taste.
#22 Funny book for people moving to Canada
This is a funny and informative gift for someone who is moving to Canada soon, a book with everything they need to know about their new home country!
#23 Inushuk gifts
For generations, the inukshuk has been a part of Canada’s culture. Ancestors of indigenous tribes such as the Inuit built these stone landmarks which serve as a guide to travelers, and a warning sign for danger. It has helped a great deal in assisting hunters and is made a place of reverence.
If you’re looking for a Canadian souvenir that’ll remind you of this amazing tradition, then why not choose a small replica or imitation of the Inukshuk, such as this statue?
You can choose from a variety of options on Etsy like hand carved sculptures, key holders, pendants, and many more!
By the way, did you know that it’s illegal to destroy an inukshuk? So if you ever see one, remember, it’s a sight to behold.
