What's a good souvenir from Canada and/or Seattle?

You know how Hawaii have these different kinds of souvenirs like a dolphin magnet, anything that has hibiscus flower on it, chocolate covered macadamia nuts, etc... what about Canada and Seattle? Im going to both places. What are they famous for? I want to bring back something for my friends. Any idea?

What's a good souvenir from Canada and/or Seattle?
If you were going east coast of Canada, you would probably be looking at maple syrup, magnets of the parliament buildings, Maple Leaf / Ottawa Senators / Montreal Canadiens jerseys or caps, Niagara falls snow globes, inuit art having to do with seals.



Since you mentioned Seattle, I assume you are looking at west coast of Canada, so I would go with totem poles, redwood carvings, postcards of the Rockies, Calgary Flames / Edmonton Oilers / Vancouver Canucks items, and indian art. There is also edibles in the form of smoked salmon, and bear claws (a chocolate cluster similar to "Turtles")
Reply:If your going to victoria,bc, you should bring them back some chocolates form purdys chocolates! soo yummy and pretty affordable. They are in the bay center on the bottom floor!!

SEATTLE: ???
Reply:Seattle people have the bumpershoot which is actually an umbrella. Washington State has was called the banana slug and is sold in tourist areas. Its a big fat slug. Seattle is also known for its Starbucks coffee.
Reply:Canada: Totem pole figure, smoked salmon, native art.



Seattle: Native art.



Happy travels!
Reply:Canada is very diverse and depending on where you go you'll find different things:

Standard - Mounties, beavers, Maple anything



Western - beer and hockey, farm art



East/west coasts - whales, salmon, fishing in general, art



Enjoy your trip!
