This one’s for the boys
Pinch and punch, it’s the first of a festive month. To kick off our round of gift guides, we turn to the lads in our lives.
No self-respecting Canadian goes through winter without sporting a toque, and this one ($30) from North Star is the syrup on top. At The Drake General Store, www.drakegeneralstore.com
Some take the mickey, and others are just seriously chic. Either way, there’s a Green Shag cufflink (from $80) for every man on your list. At Green Shag, 670 Queen St. W., Toronto, 416-603-742, www.greenshag.com
Send your chap to his next hockey game with a flask ($22) full of hot toddy. When someone belts him with a stick, he’ll feel nothing. At La Merceria, 506 Adelaide St. W., Toronto, 416-848-0057, www.lamerceriatoronto.com
With its mountain sheep collar, this peacoat ($750) is warm enough to go to sea in. All the nice girls love a sailor, and this one’s got a stylish twist. At Philip Sparks, 63 Ossington Ave., Toronto, 647 -886-0467, www.philipsparks.com
For the man who enjoys daredevil frolics in the snow, this steam-bent Ontario ash toboggan ($199.95) is the ultimate ride. At Swipe, 401 Richmond St. W., Toronto, 416-363-1332, www.swipe.com —Athena Tsavliris
