Why Shop True North Treasures?
There are plenty of places to shop online. Here's what to expect from our Canadian gift shop, built for people who want useful gifts without international shipping surprises.
1. It ships from Canada. Every single order.
Our suppliers and makers are based in Canada, so your order never crosses a border. That avoids international customs processing. Delivery timing still depends on the items and your address.
2. No duties. No brokerage fees. No surprises.
Nobody likes paying a delivery driver extra at the door for something you already paid for. With us, what you pay at checkout is what you pay. Here's how that works.
3. Prices in Canadian dollars
No guessing at exchange rates at checkout. The price you see is in CAD, and tax is shown clearly at checkout.
4. Chosen with care, not by the thousands
We'd rather carry a shelf of things worth giving than a warehouse of things you'll never find. Every product in our store is picked for life up here: warm, cozy, useful and gift-worthy, from leather gloves and hand-poured candles to winter dog coats and province-shaped cribbage boards.
5. Support Canadian makers and small businesses
By Canadians, for Canadians. Our treasures come from Canadian businesses, and our Made in Canada collection is made right here: beach-sand ornaments from Nova Scotia, cutting boards handmade in Quebec, caramels from Quebec City, maple syrup from New Brunswick and notebooks from Montreal. When you shop with us, your money stays in Canadian communities.
6. Gift shopping made easy
Not sure what to get? Our gift guides do the thinking for you:
- Canadian Gift Guide 2026: by person, from mom to the dog
- Gifts Under $50: stocking stuffers and Secret Santa
- Cottage & Cabin Gifts: for lake lovers
- Canadian Winter Essentials: for the coldest days
Sending a gift? Ship it straight to them. With no duties, they'll never get a surprise bill at the door.
7. Real people, real answers
Have a question about a product or an order? Email us at truenorthtreasuresca@gmail.com and a real person will read it. Quick answers live on our FAQ page.
8. Clear shipping and return information
Shipping is calculated at checkout so you can review the cost before paying. If an order contains items from different suppliers, the parcels may arrive separately. Return eligibility can vary by item, so check the Returns & Refunds Policy or contact us before buying if you have a question. You can also read our Shipping Policy.
