With taxis, streetcar tracks, cars and rogue pedestrians to contend with, biking in Toronto can feel like a high-stakes road race. This Fred Perry shirt, designed by seven-time Olympic medalist and Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins, will help the cycle commuter in your life feel up to the challenge. Wiggins, a fan of 1960s style, took inspiration from vintage woolen jerseys, rather than the skin-tight suits in eye-popping colours worn in today’s peloton. Thank goodness. $105.

Do you have $1,999 to spare? That’s the highest price we’ve seen for a single front-row ticket 
There are many reasons to get excited about the holidays, but elbowing a mom for an iron skillet during a sale at Williams-Sonoma is not one of them. Seriously, people get crazy during the holiday rush, but pop-up shops—those here today, gone tomorrow stores that have been popular for years—get us away from malls and big-box retailers, and there’s a new kid on the block: Glory Box. Local girls Natalie Petozzi and Abigail Van Den Broek have sourced housewares from Le Creuset, Staub, Breville and Pottery Barn Kids, and clothing from Versace, Tiger of Sweden and more. The pop-up shop will be bursting at the seams with stuff, and everything is marked up to 75 per cent off. This means that you’ll seem like you broke the bank on people when in reality you paid pennies on the dollar (not really in line with the consumerism of the season, but we’ll never tell). Glory Box’s pop-up hours are Saturday, December 17 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, December 18 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
