ENTERTAINING & GIFTING Spring Things

Whether you’re stocking up for a party or shopping for presents, the LCBO carries a handful of essentials for entertaining and gifting. There are spring-themed gift bags and cards in vibrant colours and a lovely floral motif. There are also handsome tumblers in amber or sapphire. By the May long weekend, you’ll find a gorgeous ribbed glass pitcher for the first sangria of the season, a sleek decanter for a steak-worthy red and a smart set of blue and yellow–striped cocktail napkins so you never run out.
