Welcome to The Nook of the North Original Designs. Mountain Spirit. Cartoons With Altitude.

Born in Whistler. Made for mountain lovers everywhere.

Your online hub for offbeat mountain gifts, sarcastic cartoon merch, and cozy gear that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Everything here starts with our original artwork — designed in-house and inspired by ski-town life, mountain culture, and a healthy dose of cheek.

Orders are printed and shipped on demand, one at a time — which means less waste and no warehouse full of hoodies. We also work with local shops and businesses to create small-batch swag and custom merch. If that’s what you need, we’re all ears.
