NO PHONE ZONE Imagine making it through dinner without text notifications and ringing phones! Start a family tradition of time-outs from technol- ogy, aided by a Mobilhome ($130), designed with pockets to hold up to four cell phones or handheld devices and a tablet. Choose from five colour combinations, at Brika (Toronto, brika.com).

truffles, dinner mints or even Easter candies.
