Shopping for a coworker in Toronto
In Toronto, gift shoppers head to Kensington Market, Queen Street West, Yorkville and St. Lawrence Market.
The subway and streetcars cover the downtown shops, and the PATH walkway links many of them underground when it is cold.
Buying for a coworker
Work gifts should be modest and non-personal. Keep to the office budget and avoid anything intimate, like perfume or clothing.
A card with a specific thank-you matters more than the object.
If you are shopping at the last minute
New Year gifts can be small and still feel considered. Flowers, streaming subscriptions and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.
Keep it light. After the holidays a small, thoughtful gift is more welcome than a large one.
A gift that does not depend on Toronto
Shops in Toronto cannot sell this one: a pixel game with them as the hero, two letters from you and a quiz about your friendship. It is emailed, usually within an hour. The final level is set in Almaty today, with New York and Tokyo coming soon.
Where can I get a last-minute New Year gift for a coworker in Toronto?

The subway and streetcars cover the downtown shops, and the PATH walkway links many of them underground when it is cold.

Yes. A digital gift reaches them instantly wherever they are. An oin game is generated automatically and emailed to you, usually within an hour, as a private link that works in any browser; flowers are an even quicker option.
