THE FINE BALANCE: ALDO

When I was a kid, I hated vanilla. Vanilla ice cream, vanilla cookies, vanilla anything. I always had chocolate or, better yet, went for something that looked different (the pistachio-avocado ice-cream looked like it needed to be eaten). It’s been the same in many of my choices in life in general – challenging myself in areas where most people would think twice, choosing one of the more difficult, less travelled roads to see where I would end up. In most cases, I have come out on top, but not without a few battle scars along the way. It wasn’t until recently that I realised that I actually enjoyed vanilla (yay vanilla bean ice cream!) which made me come to a wonderful realisation. While it can be enthralling to try something new and daring, sometimes plain old vanilla is just what the doctor ordered.

The holiday season always leaves me scrambling for gift ideas especially for ones under $100 dollars, and more so under $50. I find that more often than not, a lot of websites I visit focus on items available in the US. For us Canadians the shipping and duties can be daunting. I’ve focused on items that are available in most major Canadian urban areas (or where shipping and duties will not cost an arm and a leg). My favourite has to be the ALDO stackable bracelets. They’re perfect for a holiday outfit without the hefty price tag. Holiday Gift Guide - Under $100
