Some people have a lake. They grew up on it, they sail it, they swim in it in June when they shouldn't, and they will correct you if you get its name wrong. These are gifts for them.
Everything here is designed in Canada by a Canadian-owned shop and printed to order. Canadian orders over $60 ship free, so any two tees qualify.
1. For the one who won't call it anything else
The It's Lake Ontario Tee. The original statement: "It's Lake Ontario. Always has been. Still is." Navy lettering, red maple leaves, relaxed oversized cut. Nine colours, XS to 3XL.
2. For cold mornings on the dock
The It's Lake Ontario Hoodie. A small LO maple leaf mark on the front and the full statement across the back. Midweight fleece, kangaroo pocket, fifteen colours, XS to 3XL.
3. For the history buff
The Vintage Lake Map Tee. An antique-style map that labels the lake "Lake Ontario or Cataraqui," the way mapmakers once did. It comes with a story to tell at dinner; we wrote it up in Lake Ontario or Cataraqui? Sizes XS to 4XL.
4. For the cottage crowd
The Lake Ontario Social Club Tee. A retro illustrated badge with pines, water and a sailboat. Made for canoe trips, campfire nights and long weekends. Membership is open to anyone who shows up with snacks.
5. For when you don't know their size
The It's Lake Ontario Cap. The easiest gift on the list: one size, adjustable snap closure, seven colourways. Good on a boat, on a dog walk, and on a bad hair day.
6. For the one who's always cold
The Lake Ontario Zip Hoodie. Collegiate "Lake Ontario" lettering on a fleece-lined full zip. The one that lives on the hook by the door from October to May. Sizes S to 2XL.
7. For the minimalist
The Lake Ontario Canada Tee. Just the name of the lake and the country it's in, set in a clean navy wordmark. No explanation required.
When to order for Christmas
Everything is printed to order. Allow 2 to 5 business days to make it, then 5 to 10 business days to reach you in Canada, or 7 to 14 to the U.S. To be safe, order by December 1 in Canada and by November 25 in the U.S. Tracking is emailed when your order ships.
Not sure on size? There's a size chart on every product page, and the cap fits everyone.
