50 Best Canadian Souvenirs: Canadian Gift Ideas You’ll Love

I spent almost a year living in Canada and didn’t bring home one souvenir. 

In fairness, bringing home souvenirs didn’t really cross my mind at the time since I spent most of the year living cautiously thanks to COVID-19.

When I got home, I had to get creative since it naturally disappointed my nephew when he noticed my lack of Canadian gifts.

Thanks to the miracle of online shopping, it’s never been easier to get the best Canadian Souvenirs delivered to your home.

If you’re missing Canada, or simply forgot to bring home a present for someone, this list will give you all the inspiration you’ll need to deliver the perfect Canadian themed gift. 

Canadian Themed Foodie Gifts

Organic Maple Syrup

Once you’ve tried Canadian Maple syrup, you’ll never want Aunt Jemima again. 

Use it with delicious breakfast foods like pancakes or waffles, or get creative and make the Canadian dessert Pouding Chomeur. It’s basically like a really delicious maple cake. 

Either way, you can’t go wrong giving this organic syrup to friends or even to yourself.

Comical Canadian Mug

If you want something a bit more comical, gift them this fun novelty mug.

Being an Ed Sheeran fan, I think this one is funny on more than one level. If you don’t get it, allow me to fill you in—Ed has a song called The A Team.

Canadian City Themed Shot Glasses

These Canadian City themed shot glasses are perfect for friends who like to party. 

Or even for yourself. I have a few friends who collect one of these everywhere they go. 

It’s easy to personalize the gift, you can pick which city is on the glass.

I got ones for Montreal, Quebec City, and Toronto. 

Maple Sugar Hard Candies

I can’t believe these sweet little treats haven’t caught on more in the states. 

They make these little hard candies with 100% pure maple syrup. Basically, they aren’t great for the diet, but are perfect when you want a taste of something really sweet. 

Ice Wine

If you’re looking for a fun alcoholic gift, order up some Ice Wine on Drizly. 

I know some of you may be thinking “what is ice wine?”, well here’s what you need to know. 

It’s a dessert wine that comes from grapes that froze on the vine. If you haven’t tried it before, I highly suggest checking it out.

It’s super easy to order and even more fun to enjoy. 

Turkey Hill Maple Cream Cookies

These cookies are really great snack alongside some coffee or tea. 

They’re made with real maple syrup and give you just the right amount of sweetness.

Canadian Flask

Having a flask can be really fun. My friends and I used to have a blast using one to skip long bar lines during our girl’s trips every summer in the Hamptons. 

This Canada themed one is a good buy because it comes with two shot glasses and a funnel.

Ketchup Chips

Okay, so these funky chips are definitely a bit of an acquired taste.

Although it really shouldn’t be such a weird flavor considering most people put ketchup on fries.

Truthfully, they weren’t really my cup of tea, but I have friends who love them.

Maple Sugar Lollipops

These maple sugar lollipops are one of my nephew’s favorite treats.

Every time I see him, he asks me if I’ve brought him one of these.

They’re made from 100% maple syrup and also make a great tea stirring stick for adults. 

Canadian Flag Bottle Opener

It’s my belief that everyone should travel with a basic bottle opener. After all, you never know when you might need to open a bottle.

This fun Canadian flag bottle opener is small enough to fit in your purse, making it an easy travel item.

Dare Maple Leaf Cookies

These classic maple cream cookies are a favorite amongst Canadians and tourists. 

They’re made with real maple syrup and in a peanut free factory so that everyone can enjoy them.

This trio of award-winning Canadian maple syrups is a natural gift choice for any foodies. 

You can all do a syrup tasting to see which of these original harvests is your favorite.

How fun is this little maple leaf bracelet?

It’s made of hypoallergenic steel and you can even add on more charms if you wish.

The double maple leaf charms lay beautifully, and the chain is easily adjustable so you can make it the perfect length. 

This is another piece that’s hypoallergenic steel, making it a magnificent gift for anyone. 

Maple Leaf Earrings

These stunning maple leaf earrings are the perfect gift for the woman in your life. 

They are really dainty and represent Canada’s premier leaf.

The best part is that they come in a gift box, so no need to stress over wrapping them.

I love how this necklace could easily dress up or down depending on the occasion.

Either way, it’s a wonderfully timeless souvenir.

It’s gold plated hypoallergenic alloy and looks great on a jacket lapel.

Canadian Themed Clothing

Toronto Skyline Souvenir Shirt

I love how this t-shirt has a semi-vintage feel to it.

Plus, who doesn’t love a view of Toronto’s famous skyline?

The best part is that the shirt comes in men’s and women’s versions so that you can get the sizing just right.

Retro Maple Leaf T-Shirt

For a more general Canadian statement, tee buy this version. It’s got a more minimal vintage feel.

The tee also comes in four different colors, though my favorite is classic black. They also give you the option of choosing men’s, women’s, or youth sizing. 

Comical Canadian T-Shirt

If you’ve ever had a run in with a goose, you’ll get why this is so funny.

In case you weren’t already aware, let me fill you in—geese are mean if you get near them.

This novelty tee will give at least a few people a friendly laugh every time you wear it.

Moose Crossing Apron 

I think moose are absolutely adorable. One of my major disappointments with my time in Canada was that I never got to spot one of these cute creatures in the wild.

Though, I saw a few of these signs along roadways. 

If you know someone who likes moose as much as I do, this cooking apron is the perfect souvenir. 

Canada Moose Tank

Speaking of moose, how cute is this Canadian moose tank?

This one is definitely going into my summer tank rotation. 

It comes in seven different colors, so you can personalize the shirt a bit depending on who you’re buying for. 

Retro Maple Leaf Sweatshirt

I’m in love with this retro maple leaf sweatshirt.

It’s seriously the coziest thing ever, plus looks like something that you’d find in a vintage shop.

Canadian Themed Socks

There are two types of people in this world: people who adore fun socks and those who don’t.

If your buddy falls in the first category, then these Canadian Mountie socks and moose socks are a must buy. 

Modern Red Leaf Sweatshirt

This is another super comfy sweatshirt with the bonus of a hood.

It’s also well made and comes in six different colors. My favorite is the white with red maple leaf. 

Respect the Locals T-Shirt

This “Respect the Locals” tee is the perfect souvenir for anyone who loves moose. 

I love how it has a vintage poster feel to it. The tee comes in six different color combos, though my favorite is the grey.

Just imagine how cool this Canada car decal would look on your ride. 

Canadian Magnet Set

Since I don’t have a car, I settle for collecting fun magnets from places I go.

How much fun are these magnets?

They certainly had me laughing when I found them online. 

You can use them to decorate your fridge, or gift them to a teen to decorate their locker with.

With these bright Canadian flag coasters, your guests will never forget to use a coaster again. 

Each set comes with four hardwood coasters to protect your tabletops. 

Canadian Themed Ornaments

Every time I go on a trip with my mom, we buy a Christmas ornament to represent the city.

It’s a grand tradition that will always bring up special memories every year around the holidays as you put up your decorations. 

I really love the moose ornament, though the Canadian flag is a classic. 

Canadian Flag Blanket

This giant Canadian flag blanket is for the seriously Canada obsessed friend or family member. 

It’s polar fleece and super cozy, making it ideal for travel or staying warm on cold winter nights.

Fair warning, it comes unframed.

This cute Canadian Mickey keychain will be a hit with any child you give it to.
