Great Gifting
our favourite gift spotsToronto
(Nov.27.09)
We love online shopping (thank you Gift Guide) and in-advance organization but sometimes all we need is a quick trip to a local shop to find a great gift. Here are five of our favourites:
 |
Pistachio
When we're looking for a green gift, this is the place. The eco-friendly store has everything from gift cards, to gift wrap to the gifts themselves. Definitely a one-stop-shop.
2433 Yonge St.; 416-322-9451; www.epistachio.com

The Drake General Store
The right mix of quirky and Canadiana finds, this shop makes picking up gifts easy. (Not to mention a second, Rosedale location, coming soon with even more fun finds.)
1144 Queen St. W.; 416-531-5042. ext 101; www.thedrakehotel.ca
