LCBO Food and Drink Holiday 2016

MUST HAVES BY BRENDA MORRISON • PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAMES TSE

FROM PRETTY PRESENTATIONS TO PRACTICAL PRESENTS, GREAT FINDS FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

CENTRE OF ATTENTION The best centrepieces can be viewed from all angles, making this snow globe (or multiple snow globes) a smart choice. Fill with anything from small tree ornaments to peppermint candies—and add a warm glow with battery-powered LED string lights. Look for the DIY Snow Globe, $26.50, from Lee Valley Tools (Toronto, 800•267•8767, leevalley.com).

LUXE DELIGHTS Check out the ultimate Christmas crackers for cooks and foodies! These luxury handmade crackers ($125, box of 6) from Thornback & Peel each contain a practical kitchen treat, such as a citrus reamer or vegetable brush. Available at Hopson Grace (Toronto, 416•926•1120, hopsongrace.com).

JINGLE BELL TIME Oh what fun! Instantly add festive flair to your drinks and food with Jingle Bell cocktail stir sticks ($19.95, set of 4) and match- ing cocktail picks ($14.95, set of 4) for garnishes and appetizers. Available in silver and red at Linen Chest (linenchest.com).
