We don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to spend a small fortune on the perfect present. Oftentimes, holiday shopping on a budget gets a bad rap for being restricting. But with a little bit of creativity, you can have a treasure trove of thoughtful presents — all while staying comfortably within your budget.
Want proof? Take a gander at the best presents you can buy at Nordstrom for $25 or less. It doesn't matter if you're shopping for your close colleague or your inner circle's resident beauty buff, there are so many great picks to choose from ahead, you might even end up wanting some, too.
