HOME AND KITCHEN WARES THAT MAKE ENTERTAINING AND EVERYDAY TASKS A STYLISH SNAP.

MAKING THE CUT With an ergonomically designed casing to help protect your fingers, the OXO Good Grips Clean-Cut Pizza Wheel ($16.99) features a super-sharp, 4-inch stainless-steel cutting wheel that easily slices even thick-crust and deep-dish pizzas. Comes with a blade guard for safe storage. For retailers: danescoinc.com.

KEEPING TABS If you’re spending a winter afternoon poring over magazines and cookbooks looking for new recipes to try, rather than turn- ing down the corners of individual pages, keep them in mint condition by using these charming Cookbook Page Flag Sets ($7.98 for 375 flags/set). Pre- sented in matchbook-style packages, they come in a variety of designs at Town (Toronto, 647•748•8696, townthestore.com).

CANUCK CHIC The ultimate gift for Canadians! This Mountie Thermos ($34, 750 mL) is an official product under licence from the RCMP Foundation. It’s ideal for sipping cocoa at the ice rink, indulging in a hot toddy après-ski, or taking your own coffee to work. Available at Drake General Store in Toronto: 416•538•2222, drakegeneralstore.ca.
