THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF THE HOLIDAYS
Check out what Toronto designers have in store.
Sure, the holidays are a time for peace, joy and goodwill. But we think they’re also a great opportunity to feed your face and slack off at work. Give in to the seven deadly sins – lust, wrath, gluttony, sloth, greed, envy and pride – with the help of our luxury gift guide. From mountains of gourmet goodies to glittering gowns and cutting-edge gadgets, these guilty pleasures are sure to bring out the shopping-crazed devil in you.
