What makes a good souvenir? Something that brings back memories of a place. Something worth displaying, keeping or sharing. Or something with a story worth telling.
British Columbia has plenty of those stories.
From the Pacific coastline and ancient forests to mountain towns and bustling Vancouver streets, BC is home to remarkable landscapes, cultures and creative people.
We've picked 10 of our favourite gifts from British Columbia. Some celebrate familiar places. Others introduce you to Indigenous artists, local makers and the wildlife that makes this part of Canada so memorable.
Whether you're visiting, shopping for someone far away or looking for something uniquely BC, we hope you'll discover a few Good Things worth sharing.
Some gifts are beautiful. Others have something important to say. Corrine Hunt's Namwayut collection does both.
Corrine Hunt is a celebrated Kwakwaka'wakw and Tlingit artist whose contemporary designs draw on her cultural heritage. Her Namwayut artwork brings together the Orca, Raven and Wolf in a story about family, harmony and connection.
Namwayut means "we are all one." It's a message that feels especially meaningful when shared around a table.
The nesting serving bowls feature Corrine's design on a functional piece of art, made in North Vancouver using recycled marble and crushed glass resin. They can be used for serving, displayed on a shelf or hung as wall art.
Why it's a good BC gift: It combines Indigenous artistry, meaningful storytelling and local craftsmanship. A wonderful choice for weddings, housewarmings or someone who appreciates art with a story.

Ask someone what they remember about Vancouver, and Stanley Park is likely to come up.
The seawall winds between the ocean and the coastal forest, with views of the mountains, beaches and city skyline. It's a place for morning runs, long walks, cycling and simply watching the water.
BC artist Heather Johnston captures that familiar scenery on a tiny 3 × 3-inch canvas.
Her Stanley Park Seawall ornament is a miniature artwork rather than a conventional souvenir. Small enough to travel easily, it can hang as a decoration or become part of a collection of favourite places.
Why it's a good BC gift: It's an affordable piece of original BC-inspired art that celebrates one of Vancouver's most recognizable places. Especially lovely for someone who has walked or cycled the seawall. It also makes a fun Christmas ornament, adding another memorable destination to a collection of ornaments from places visited.

Salmon are far more than a familiar symbol of British Columbia.
They connect the ocean to rivers and forests, nourish wildlife and have sustained Indigenous communities along the Pacific coast for countless generations.
Haisla and Heiltsuk artist Paul Windsor celebrates this relationship in his Salmon design. He describes salmon as a source of life and nourishment, honouring their determination and their role in sustaining future generations.
His artwork appears on a beautiful pair of silver-plated serving utensils from Native Northwest, designed in Vancouver and presented in an elegant gift box.
They're practical enough for family dinners and special enough to bring out when guests arrive.
Why it's a good BC gift: A meaningful gift for people who love gathering around the table, with an artist's story that connects everyday life to the natural world.

In 1986, Vancouver welcomed the world.
Expo 86 was a major moment in the city's modern history. The international exposition focused on transportation and communication, brought visitors from around the globe and helped reshape Vancouver's waterfront.
Decades later, its colourful graphics and unmistakable 1980s style still bring back memories.
This Expo 1986 T-shirt by Tees.ca celebrates that era with a retro design that feels just as good worn around Vancouver today.
For those who remember Expo 86, it's a bit of nostalgia. For younger visitors, it's an introduction to an interesting chapter of Vancouver history.
Why it's a good BC gift: A wearable Vancouver souvenir with a real historical connection. A thoughtful choice for design lovers, history enthusiasts and anyone who remembers the excitement of Expo 86.

Mountains shape everyday life in British Columbia.
They're the backdrop to Vancouver, the reason many people visit Whistler and a constant invitation to explore. But you don't have to be a climber or skier to feel connected to them.
Treeline Collective captures that connection in a simple sterling silver mountain ring.
Its clean mountain silhouette makes it easy to wear every day, while the design carries a personal reminder of places explored, challenges overcome or adventures still to come.
Why it's a good BC gift: A thoughtful piece of jewelry for hikers, mountain lovers and anyone who feels most at home outdoors. It's understated, personal and easy to keep close.

Not every memorable place is a famous viewpoint.
Sometimes it's a quiet trail, a familiar bend in the path or the way the sunlight falls through the trees.
Whistler's Valley Trail connects neighbourhoods, lakes and parks, offering a different way to experience the mountain town beyond its ski slopes.
Our Valley Trail wooden coaster features a photograph by AGBC founder Adela Beranek, who has called Whistler home since 2013.
Made in British Columbia from responsibly sourced maple wood, it turns a personal view of Whistler into something useful for everyday life.
Why it's a good BC gift: A genuinely local Whistler souvenir with a photographer's connection to the place. Small, practical and easy to send to someone who loves the Sea to Sky.

Beneath the waters of the Pacific Northwest lives one of the ocean's most fascinating creatures.
The giant Pacific octopus is known for its intelligence, remarkable ability to camouflage itself and extraordinary flexibility. It's also an unforgettable subject for art.
Haida artist Ernest Swanson, whose artist name is Stlaay hlang'laas, brings his Octopus (Nuu) design to a reusable water bottle.
It's a contemporary way to carry Indigenous artwork into everyday routines, whether that's commuting, heading to school or exploring a new trail.
Why it's a good BC gift: It combines a useful everyday item with distinctive Indigenous design and a connection to the Pacific coast. A good choice for travellers, students and wildlife enthusiasts.

There are few things quite like the smell of a forest after rain.
For many visitors, the forests of British Columbia are among the most memorable parts of the trip. Towering trees, moss-covered ground, damp earth and fresh mountain air create an atmosphere that's difficult to describe.
Based in Whistler, Hollow Tree creates home fragrances inspired by the forests, mountains and natural surroundings of the Sea to Sky region.
The Lumberjack room spray is handcrafted in Whistler and offers a different kind of souvenir: one connected to the experience of being here rather than a picture of the place.
Why it's a good BC gift: A locally made gift for someone who loves the outdoors, forest-inspired fragrances and the feeling of returning to a favourite mountain destination.

Few figures are as closely associated with British Columbia's popular folklore as Sasquatch.
Stories of mysterious, large, humanlike beings have circulated in different forms for generations, while modern Sasquatch sightings and legends have become part of BC's cultural imagination.
But Sasquatch is more than a quirky roadside souvenir. Related beings and stories have significance within particular Indigenous traditions, with meanings that differ between communities.
This enamel pin features Sasquatch artwork by Indigenous artist Francis Horne Sr., offering a small, wearable interpretation of a familiar West Coast figure.
Why it's a good BC gift: An affordable and distinctive souvenir for collectors, curious travellers and anyone fascinated by BC stories. Small enough to add to a jacket, backpack or travel bag.
Sometimes the simplest souvenirs are the ones that stay with us longest.
Vancouver's Dominion Building is one of the city's most recognizable historic landmarks. Completed in 1910, its distinctive red-and-white exterior and Second Empire-inspired architecture make it stand out among the surrounding downtown buildings.
Bowen Island-based artist Anja Jane celebrates the building in her colourful Vancouver postcard design.
Designed and printed in British Columbia, the postcard offers a cheerful interpretation of this city landmark. Send it to a friend, frame it as miniature artwork or keep it tucked into a travel journal.
Why it's a good BC gift: An affordable Vancouver souvenir with a connection to local architecture and BC illustration. Proof that a meaningful reminder of a place doesn't have to be costly.
