The best gift isn’t always at the top of your wish list. Sometimes, it’s the one that’s a total surprise. We combed the city’s shops to find an unexpected assortment of products that your friends and family might not know they want—like a high-end shisha pipe, a local handmade baseball bat and the finest toothpaste and mouthwash—but will be excited to receive.

  1. Advocating a puppy as a present is irresponsible. Advocating the breeding of mutts when there are lovely mutts in the shelter looking for loving homes is unconscionable. Very disappointing.

  2. When there are so many dogs in shelters looking for homes it seems extremely irresponsible to be advocating the creation of more mixed breed pups. Further, it is not a good idea to give a pup as a gift – particularly if it not an expected gift. Pups should be planned for, expected and cherished, they should not be an after thought or a poorly thought out impulse purchase.

  4. I am disappointed that you are endorsing the breeding of mutts. Any worthwhile breeder knows the health issue prominent in their breed and do testing when planning potential litters. Unfortunately, when mixing breeds you increase the potential for disease from each of the parent breeds.

    How disappointing that Toronto life didn’t put the time into researching expert opinion prior to endorsing this type of breeding.

    Let’s hope the kids receiving puppies pay more attention to them after the New Year than they do their toys.
