Holiday Gift Guide: 10 best bets at the One of a Kind Show — John Black, a 24-year-old from Moncton, creates stylish cutting boards pieced together from 40 types of wood from around the world. As unique as fingerprints, the boards are beautiful and practical: wood cutting boards are said to harbour fewer bacteria than plastic versions and can prolong the life of your knives. JJ’s Wood Creations, booth X-08, jjswoodcreations.ca.

The annual arts and crafts show is back. Running now through next week, the one-stop holiday-gift-buying shop features the works of 800 artisans (and complimentary daycare service). Here, 10 items that will help you cross names off your shopping list.
