Most "standard" indoor hardware store type cords are 16 gauge, which is good for 10 amps. Just keep the cord as short as you can. Short cords are more safe (they are less likely to become tripping hazards) and you also get the benefit of less voltage drop in a shorter cord.

750 W is just over 6 Amps at 120VoltsAC. Most 18 gauge 6-foot or 9-foot indoor extention cords are rated to 15 amps. If that is all you use on the extension cord (no other applicances -- ever), then a standard indoor extension cord will do just fine.

At 120 volts AC, 750 watts is 6.25 amps. Use a 14 guage cord
You could probably get by with 16 guage, but i'd use 14 if it were me..
