Just in time for the colder months, the Canada Goose Men’s Expedition Parka is one of their most iconic and warmest styles. This jacket is a great gift for any adventurers in your life, with stand-out features like a down-filled hood, snow skirt, and fur trim for extra protection. Plus, it has the warmest rating that Canada Goose has to offer, keeping you warm at 30°C and below. This jacket is also available in a women’s style and a junior style.

P.S. This jacket comes in limited quantities and is only produced in the Canada Goose Toronto factory. Why wait?

This go-to tumbler is a thoughtful gift for any beverage lover. Whether they want to keep their drink piping hot while hiking or working from home, or ice-cold on a hot summer day, the Rambler® 20 Oz Tumbler by Yeti does the trick. It’s sleek, double-wall insulated, and comes in a variety of colours making it oh-so-Instagrammable.


If you have someone on your list who is looking for ethical, sustainable apparel, the Women’s Better Sweater® by Patagonia fits the bill. It’s made from 100% recycled polyester, is Fair Trade Certified™ sewn, and is part of a product line that is dyed with a low impact process, saving energy and water. Not only is this sweater great for layering when you’re outside, but it’s also a stylish everyday piece, coming in a variety of must-have colours. Get everyone in on this one — it also comes in styles for men and junior boys.

This year, making sure you spend time outside is more important than ever. The Men’s Lookout 25 Snowshoe by Tubbs is the perfect gift to encourage others to explore the outdoors and get active. These lightweight snowshoes are great for any level of experience and the aluminum frame reduces the impact on hips, knees and ankle joints. Your giftee will love these snowshoes for a light walk, or an intense hike.

Canadians love The Winter Boot by Blundstone. These warm, premium leather, waterproof boots are made with the same all-weather features that Blundstone is known for, but with added warmth. They have a sheepskin footbed that you can remove depending on the season, and a PORON® XRD™ heel pad that helps to absorb impact while you walk. So, they’ll take your giftee from chilly winter walks to casual spring hangouts on a patio. These fashion-forward boots come in unisex sizing, so check out the sizing guide before you click Add to Cart!
