I Bought These 16 Nordstrom Items as Gifts But Ended Up Keeping Them for Myself
Sponsor Content Created With Nordstrom
The holiday-gift-shopping season has officially commenced, and while it's easy to get caught up in the chaos, I recommend finding a retailer that you can trust to get you to the finish line. Nordstrom is the one destination I turn to year after year for its well-curated selection of fashionable gifts for every person in my life. I tend to shop for cozy, chic essentials that make the cold weather feel a little more bearable. This year is no different, and my shopping cart is overflowing with elevated loungewear, winter accessories, and jewelry. And while my original intention was to shop for my friends and family, I'm unashamed to say that I'm just going to keep these 16 finds for myself. (Yes, they are that good.) Keep scrolling to see what's in my cart.
