Thunder Bay Gift Ideas

THUNDER BAY, ON — The holiday season is in full swing, and for Thunder Bay shoppers, the annual ritual of finding the perfect gift has returned. Don’t worry if you’re lost. Superior News Now has compiled five ideal presents that capture the local spirit — and the baffling existential dread of gift-giving.

1. A Two-Hour "Guess Who" Session with Santa at Intercity Mall
   Avoid the pressure of actually buying a gift. Just sign up your special someone for a Santa sit-down where they can drop hints for you about what they actually want. Bonus: They’ll cry less than most kids do.

2. One-Month Subscription to the “I Can’t Believe It’s Not a Pothole!” Alert App
   Give the gift of smooth drives (or realistic expectations) with this groundbreaking app that maps every crater in Thunder Bay. Nothing says love like protecting your loved one’s suspension.

3. Customized "Sleeping Giant" Yoga Mat
   Stretch and meditate on a yoga mat featuring Thunder Bay’s most iconic landmark. Because nothing soothes the soul like reminding someone they’re bending over backwards in a town where even the rocks look perpetually exhausted.

4. Gift Certificate for “How to Pronounce Kakabeka Falls” Class
   Let’s face it, no one from out of town ever gets it right. Help a newcomer save face at parties with this two-hour intensive. Graduates walk away fluent in local pronunciation, ready to tackle other local pronunciations.

5. Exclusive Limited-Edition Snow Shovel with Heated Handle
   Available in the “Elite Neighbour” package: Help your loved one flex their superiority during snow-clearing wars. Bonus points if they send their driveway selfie to their friends in Toronto.

If these ideas still leave you stuck, remember: Thunder Bay shoppers never fail when they resort to the universal local classic — socks.

Merry shopping, and good luck out there.
