With the holidays in full swing, your shopping carts are likely filled with products and gifts for all of those who you love in your life. But if you are a shopping addict like me, there's always room for a few presents for yourself as well. Since the spirit of the season is giving, it's wise to put aside most of your present budget for others, but a couple of under $50 gifts for yourself never hurt anyone, and if you ask me, it is greatly encouraged.

Since I tend to do a lot of my Christmas shopping online at Nordstrom, there are always heaps of items I end up wanting along the way, and today, I've shopped them all out for you below. Each item you'll see as you scroll is under $50 but looks anything but. From going-out tops to jade rollers, the selection ahead is wide and it's chic. Because that's the best thing about Nordstrom—you're always bound to find exactly what you're looking for and then some.
