Default Canadiana gift idea

I'm looking for an idea for a gift for a man from out of country, something typically Canadian. I thought of a Tilley hat but he doesn't really wear hats. About $100 or less and the recipient is in his 60s and loves to travel.

20 gallons of maple syrup, 3 bottles of Canadian Club whiskey. And a hockey puck.

Difficult for him to take home on an aircraft, but otherwise a great idea.

Just give him a handful of dirt. It's Canadian soil after all. Price is definitely right.

I would have molded it into a glorious work of art, too.

Another good idea is a Group of 7 print, a very Canadian gift.

This is awesome.
