It's day number thirteen of my quest to find some of the best gifts in Toronto. Today's Pick: Cipolla recycled cup sleeves. I fancy myself pretty eco-minded but I'm still guilty of "forgetting" my reusable coffee mug at home (OK, truth is, it's too cumbersome to carry in my purse). When I do opt for take-out, I use an awful lot of unnecessary paper. Cipolla's cup sleeves help the cause, and don't take up too much real estate in my handbag.

Toronto's own Cipolla promises that their sleeves keep hands cool and drinks warm while being a planet-friendly alternative to paper sleeves and double cupping. They also roll up tightly and attach to a key chain thanks to an elastic and loop. Pretty smart.

Best for: Large double-doubles (and stockings)

Additional Specs: Fits most 12-20 oz. (M-XL) cups, machine-washable, hand-stamped and made with 100% recycled felt

What they'll cost you: $11.00

Where to get 'em:

Shopgirls Gallery Boutique, 1342 Queen Street West
