Outwit, Outplay, Out-gift

Toronto (May.19.06)

Finding the perfect gift can be such a challenge. Sometimes we feel like we’re playing “Survivor: Gift” (without the million dollar prize).
We know the game has begun when we find ourselves asking: “What statement does this candlestick make?”; or “Does a cactus make me look frugal?”; and of course: “Will I get kicked off the island for showing up with this?”

Now we have a sure bet for keeping the torch on fire.

Nestled discreetly in Leaside (not as inviting as a tropical island, but whatever…) Churchill’s Fine Gourmet Gifts is our gifting ace-in-the-hole. Owner/baker/former nurse Beverly Churchill Morris has four signature items: shortbread (otherwise known as “The Perfect Cookie”); “Heavenly Pecan Bars”; lemon meringue bars; and “The Perfect Brownie”. All are perfect, by the way, as are her other offerings (beware ye who opens the granola).

As if the outstanding quality weren’t enough, the high-class packaging is designed to impress: boxes made of ultra-firm cardboard with a glossy brown finish resembling liquid chocolate! All wrapped in a fabric ribbon to add that last touch of panache. Whether you go with a pre-designed box of goodies ($25 to $95) or get one custom-made, a choice from Churchill’s will trump any other present in the pile.

So, if you want to win Survivor: Gift, you should definitely form a secret alliance with Churchill’s!
