What do you buy a Canadian for Christmas?

[underpants]

At work I am the "Secret Santa" for a woman who is from Canada originally.

They are an odd and mysterious people to me so I thought someone here could offer some cultural information on them.

Thanks in advance or maybe I should say Thankes.
