An editor’s guide to Canadian-themed gifts, food and books

Most "shop Canada" pages on the open web are a slurry of dropshipped maple-leaf mugs, T-shirts printed in some other country, and "100% Canadian" branding bolted onto products with no actual Canadian content. This page is different. It is curated by the All Canada editorial team, organised around the categories real readers tell us they actually want when they email us from outside the country, and tied to every region of Canada we cover elsewhere on the site. Where you see an "Amazon" button on this page, it links to an Amazon search rather than a single product — that way the page stays useful as inventory, prices and Canadian sellers come and go on the platform.

Disclosure first, because it matters

The Amazon links on this page are affiliate links: if you click through and buy something, Amazon may pay All Canada a small commission, at no extra cost to you. The price is identical whether you click our link or not. We do not let those commissions decide what we recommend, and the categories above are organised by what readers ask for, not by which products pay the highest commission. Full details are in our Advertising Policy. Reader questions or corrections to this page go to [email protected].

Maple syrup, maple sugar and maple cream

Real Canadian maple syrup is graded by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency into four colours: Golden, Amber, Dark, and Very Dark. Most exported syrup is Amber, which has the cleanest "wake the pancakes up" flavour; Very Dark, sometimes labelled "for cooking," is the workhorse choice for glazes and barbecue sauces. About 70 percent of the world’s maple syrup comes from Quebec, with smaller producers in Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. If you have never had it, start with a 250 ml glass jar of Amber from a Quebec producer. Read more about the syrup industry on our Quebec page and our Canadian cuisine guide.

Canadian snacks and pantry items

The snacks Canadians actually crave when they live abroad are not subtle: Coffee Crisp bars (chocolate and coffee wafer, easy to find in Canadian supermarkets but rare elsewhere), Smarties (the Nestlé Canada version, with hard candy shells, not the British tablet kind), Hawkins Cheezies (a 1949 Belleville, Ontario invention — brittler and cheesier than American cheese puffs), all-dressed potato chips (the Quebec-born flavour combining ketchup, salt-and-vinegar, sour-cream-and-onion and barbecue), ketchup chips, dill-pickle chips, and Mr. Big bars. Real Canadian Tim Hortons coffee in tins is also a popular care-package item for the diaspora.

Canadian books we keep recommending

If you are buying for a reader who wants to actually understand Canada rather than collect souvenirs, the books worth shipping include Margaret Atwood’s Survival and the Booker Prize-winning The Blind Assassin; Michael Ondaatje’s In the Skin of a Lion; Thomas King’s The Inconvenient Indian; Joseph Boyden’s Three Day Road; Lawrence Hill’s The Book of Negroes; Mordecai Richler’s The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz; Esi Edugyan’s Washington Black; and for a younger reader, anything by Robert Munsch or Jean Little. For Canadian history, Pierre Berton’s sweep of the country — The National Dream, The Last Spike, and Vimy — remains hard to beat. Full author profiles are on our hub.

Hockey, ringette and curling

Canadian-made hockey gear (CCM, Bauer and Sherwood all design in Canada, even where individual SKUs are manufactured elsewhere), team jerseys for the seven Canadian NHL franchises, replica vintage CFL jerseys, curling brooms, and ringette sticks are all popular gift categories for Canadians overseas. We recommend buying replica jerseys from authorised retailers rather than mystery overseas listings, particularly anything claiming to be "official" at an implausible price.

Apparel that actually came from Canada

Canada Goose, Roots, Tilley (hats), Manitobah Mukluks, Tentree, Smartwool, Mountain Equipment Company’s house brand, Tuck Shop Trading Co., Mukluks by Manitobah, and Hudson’s Bay Company point blankets are the ones we keep recommending. Many of the cheapest "Canada" branded hoodies you will find online are printed in countries that have never seen a snowflake; checking for an actual Canadian retailer name on the listing helps.

Indigenous-made gifts — how to choose ethically

The phrase "Indigenous design" is, unfortunately, frequently misused on global marketplaces. To buy ethically, look for products sold directly by a recognised Indigenous artisan, cooperative or nation (the Inuit Art Foundation, Manitobah Mukluks, Eighth Generation, Authentically Indigenous brand-mark holders, and provincial Indigenous tourism associations are all good starting points), and avoid mass-market "tribal" or "native-inspired" products that pay no royalty to any community. We discuss this further on our Treaty Territories page.

Travel posters, prints and maps

Parks Canada releases a small number of officially licensed posters each year for its most iconic national parks — Banff, Jasper, Cape Breton Highlands, Gros Morne, Auyuittuq, Wapusk. The retro Canadian Pacific Railway posters from the 1920s and 1930s remain in print in poster-size reproductions and remain among the finest pieces of Canadian commercial illustration ever made. Vintage TTC subway-roll signs, Montreal Metro posters and CN tower architectural prints are perennial souvenir hits.

For the kids

Robert Munsch picture books (start with Love You Forever, Stephanie’s Ponytail, and The Paper Bag Princess); Sandra Boynton-style Canadian board books; the Kids Can Press I Am Canada historical series; plush Mountie bears; and the Canadiana Aurora board game are the items we hear about most often from parents abroad.
