    In my opinion, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is better than Christmas—at least in terms of gifting. You get all the things you've been wishing for, and nothing you don't. No awkward moments, no annoying returns—just the products you love at a fraction of their usual price.

    I love shopping for friends as much as the next person (more, probably), but during this sale, you get to be selfish. These buys are for you and you only. Indulge in the silk tank top that's both luxurious and lightweight. Grab that high-tech LED you can use while you work. Click "add to cart" on the easy-glide luggage you've been yearning for. You deserve it!
