Personalized Christmas Gifts Made in Ontario

There's always someone on the list who's tough to buy for. They've got enough sweaters, and a gift card can feel a bit impersonal. A personalized metal sign with their family name, their camp, their garden or their workshop on it is a gift that tends to get hung up after Christmas and stay up for years.

Every sign here is made by us in Sturgeon Falls, Ontario. Pick a design, tell us the name, and we'll make it theirs. Signs start at $59, and personalizing one is +$20. Christmas orders for custom signs close December 15, 2026.

For the Family

The Andersons Family Sign

A family name sign is a nice way to welcome the new year, a new house or a family that's finally settled in. The Andersons Family Sign is a round design with the surname and the year they settled in, framed by oak leaves and acorns. It sits well in the front hall, on a covered porch or over the mantel.

For the Cottage & Camp

The Pine Ridge Cabin Sign has mountains, tall pines and a little cabin, with room for the camp name and the family name underneath. For the lake family, the Loons Lake Sign puts a pair of loons on the water, with the lake name or family name added to make it theirs.

Moose Address Sign

Up here, an address sign at the end of the driveway is as practical as it is good-looking. Our wildlife address signs carry the house number and road name with a little bit of the North Woods: the Moose, Bear, Wolf and Fox in the Birches address signs, plus more in our address signs collection.
