is normal bundle of a manifold trivial?

If you embed a manifold $M$ in Euclidean space, is the normal bundle always trivial? Or give an example with non-trivial normal bundle.

If $M$ is non-orientable, its normal bundle must also be non-orientable (or you could use it to find an orientation on $M$ itself).
