Like clockwork, the winter holidays are approaching and gift-giving season has begun. If you sort of forgot to start shopping for presents in September, October, or even November (oops), you’ve still got time to figure it out. In fact, even if you procrastinate a bit longer (though not recommended), you’ll be able to get tons of last-minute gifts from Nordstrom, no matter your budget or your deadline.

Whether the person you’re holiday shopping for is into traveling, cooking, or keeping warm, Nordstrom is the go-to destination. Besides the obvious Kate Spade New York and UGG items that you already knew to be available at the retailer, we’ve also included brands like Le Creuset and Béis. You’ll might even be tempted to pick up a few pieces for yourself, too.

Below, find 17 of the best gifts to shop from Nordstrom now up until the last very second.

UGG Scuffette Slippers

UGGs are the hot commodity once again, and although the options are endless (people are loving those platforms!), you can’t go wrong with a cozy pair of slippers. This pair rings up at less than $100 and would make the perfect cozy present for multiple people on your list, from your bestie to your mom.

This fluffy blanket is a fan favorite every year, probably because it’s super soft, warm enough for the winter months, and Kardashian-approved. especially during the colder months, and this pick happens to be a Kardashian favorite. We’re partial to this soft gray shade, but you’ll be able to choose from multiple colorways, including a white pearl and slate blue.

Riki Love Riki 10X Skinny Lighted Mirror

This bright LED vanity mirror comes with an attachment for your phone, so the TikToker in your life will always be able to find their light (even when the sun sets at 4:30pm).

Coach Bucket Bag

If someone on your list loves to keep up with current fashion trends (same), a Coach bucket bag will for sure make them smile. This shape is among the top bag trends for 2024, and although it’s small in size, this pick holds a lot of stuff!

ASOS Fleece Jacket

Give the guy in your life an updated alternative to his favorite hoodie. This ASOS fleece jacket is super soft and just as warm, and he’s bound to get compliments on that eye-catching graphic everytme he wears it.

Jo Malone London Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne

There’s no panic like realizing you (accidentally!) left someone off your gift list. Instead of trying to guess if they’d prefer a Starbucks or Dunkin’ gift card, add this fragrance to your cart now as a “just in case.” The clean, woody scent is unisex and a small bottle is less than $30. Plus, Jo Malone is beloved by so many celebrities and influencers, they’ll likely feel pretty fancy every time they look at the bottle.

Moonlight Eco Pajamas

Not only are these pajamas incredibly soft, there are plenty of patterns and colors to choose from. Get a set for yourself and the person you’re buying for, then plan a cute night in to rock your coordinated outfits.

Kiehl’s Creamy Avocado Eye Treatment

Everyone and their mother knows this eye cream stands out among the rest. Not only is it hydrating and soothing, thanks to that bit of avocado oil, it actually improves the look of fine lines and smoothes any texture. Add it to your cart while its on sale for a limited time.

Le Creuset Heritage Square Baking Dishes Set

For the amateur chef in your life, this set of baking dishes from cookware brand Le Creuset is bound to get some good use, especially during the holiday season. They can break it out as they whip up some delicious meals — which, hopefully, you’ll get to taste, too.

Lancôme Holiday Beauty Box

Whether your friend is a longtime Lancôme fan or is simply curious about the products (hey, those Zendaya and Amanda Seyfried campaigns are pretty convincing), now’s the time to make their dream come true. The brand’s limited-edition holiday beauty box comes with its bestselling mascara, makeup remover, lipstick, and other must-have items, and while it’s technically $588 in value, it rings up for just $79. The one catch is that you’ll have to make another Lancôme purchase, so perhaps you can pick up some lipstick for yoruself, too (the shades are so dreamy).

Stanley The Quencher H2.0 Flowstate™ 40 oz. Tumbler

By now, you probably know that this tumbler is more than just a water bottle. It’s become a sort of status symbol (all the cool kids have one) and we recently learned that even after being engulfed in flames, it’ll still keep your drink cold.

Kate Spade Brilliant Statements Pavé Mini Huggie Hoop Earrings

If you’re looking for a gift that feels both special and versatile, give your person a pair of Kate Spade huggies. These tiny hoops will add sparkle and shine to their outfits but at the same time, won’t feel too extravagant for everyday wear.

Pura x Capri Blue Volcano & Tinsel & Spice Pura 4 Smart Diffuser & Fragrance Set

Know someone who is constantly buying and burning through candles? Save them a few bucks in the long run with Pura’s diffuser, which will allow them to switch between two different scents and can be controlled with their phone (they will even be able to alter the intensity level).

Vinglacé Wine & Champagne Chiller

A wine and champagne bottle chiller is exactly the kind of gift they’d never go out of the way to buy for themselves. Get this gift for the friend who knows way too much about alcoholic beverages so that they can keep their favorite bottle of bubbly chilled for hours on end.

Men’s Nike Travis Kelce Red Kansas City Chiefs T-Shirt

Sure, you could get this tee for the sports lover in your life (as long as they’re a Kansas City Chiefs and/or Travis Kelce fan). But we have a feeling your favorite Swiftie will appreciate it more.

The Old Money, Quiet Luxury aesthetic doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, which in turn means that the ballet flats trend will become even more popular. Unless they’re adamant about leaving this shoe in the past (they might have had their fill in the early ’00s), they’ll appreciate this adorable pair from Steve Madden. They may even slip them on in place of some fancy (but uncomfortable) holiday heels.

Nori Handheld Steamer and Iron

At first, a steamer may seem like it’s in the same realm of buying someone a washing machine (frowned upon). But for anyone who has ever panicked about wrinkled clothes, this gift will be much appreciated. Reviewers say this product — which is also half iron, complete with non-stick plates — practically works miracles, giving them smooth shirts and pants in minutes.

Béis The Carry-On Roller

If anyone knows how to make quality luggage, it’s a celebrity who jetsets around the world for a living. Shay Mitchell launched her luggage brand in 2018 and since then, it’s only risen in popularity. This carry-on is perfect for the person who is always on the go. Aside from being lightweight, easy to roll, and including pouches for products and dirty laundry, it also has a weight-limit indicator on the side handle.

Ember Mug 2 Temperature Control Mug & Warmer

Anyone who works from home regularly knows the drill: you make coffee, get distracted by Slack/emails/doing your job, and soon enough, your coffee is cold. This mug and warmer set allows you to skip the step of reheating your drink in the microwave, keeping the temperature between 120ºF and 145ºF for as long as you need.

SKIMS Soft Lounge Long Sleeve Dress

Even if the person you’re buying for isn’t the biggest Kim Kardashian fan, they’ve likely seen that her brand, SKIMS, continues to get rave reviews. While this dress — which ranges from size XXS to 4X — is labeled as loungewear, it’s simple and sexy enough to wear out on the town, too. Reviewers say it supports them in all the right places, giving them some extra va-va-voom.

Adidas Gender Inclusive Samba OG Sneaker

Some “It” items might cost you thousands of dollars, but the Adidas Samba is still a reasonable $100 — kind of suprising, considering Olivia Rodrigo, Jennie Kim, Jennifer Lawrence, and Kaia Gerber are all big fans (and that’s just naming a few stars who love the shoe). Aside from being spotted on celebrities, the sneaker is a classic one and is also gender inclusive. If you really wanted to, you could buy a pair for your whole family and have a cute matching moment.

Native Union Snap 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger

There’s always someone on our list who seems impossible to buy for, but chances are that person also owns a cell phone and maybe some earbuds, too. This magnetic wireless charger works on three different Apple products — an iPhone, AirPods, and an Apple Watch — and can fit right on their nightstand or desk, reminding them to keep those batteries full.

Diptyque Baies (Berries) Scented Candle

When all else fails, go with a cozy candle. Diptyque’s products are so special and elevated, and while this fruity, floral scent is one they’ll surely enjoy, it’s also frequently used as decor due to its clear, clean design.

Vitabrid C12 Dual Drop Serum

You really can’t put a price on glowing skin, but this lightweight $62 serum will give you just that. Filled with antioxdients, it’s meant to brighten, firm, and reduce fine lines, and since it works for all skin types, you can gift it to anyone who loves (or could use) a good skincare routine.

Fjällräven Kånken Water Resistant Backpack

This is the perfect sized backpack for just about any situation, whether you’re spending the night at a friend’s house or spending the day on a hike — and it makes for the perfect gift under $100. This backpack is an ideal gift for someone you don’t know very well or someone who’s usually impossible to shop for.

Nordstrom Gift Card

If you’re truly a last-minute shopper (as in, the day before you’re meant to give that person their present), a gift card is definitely the way to go. Nordstrom has the brilliant option of sending an e-gift card — which means you can buy it as soon as you remember that you didn’t get anything for your 15-year-old cousin. It’ll show up in their inbox within minutes.
