Nordstrom/Stephanie Maida for PureWow

Ah, gift-gifting: a classic holiday artform. We all know it’s better to give than to receive, but if you’re unsure where to even start looking this year, I’m going to give you a little clue: Nordstrom. Not only will the store’s two-day shipping policy come in clutch, its selection is wide enough that you can check everyone—from your favorite teen cousin and your millennial sister to your dad who doesn't need anything and the person you’re maybe-sort of-kind-of dating—off your list without breaking a sweat (or your budget). Better yet, I’ve already pulled together the best Nordstrom gifts for the holiday season, so you can get started on your shopping early. 

From a perfume you can sniff on Taylor Swift (Tom Ford Santal Blush, from $195) to comfy joggers he'll never want to take off (Ugg Tasman pants, $98), there is certainly no shortage of present-worthy options. In fact, I did a deep dive of hundreds of giftable selections for women, men, teens and kids on the site to find the 28 best of the very best that will have you feeling like Santa himself. Check out what made the cut below.

How I Chose the Best Nordstrom Gifts

All of the products on our list are either items PureWow writers own and personally love, ones with a large number of positive ratings from Nordstrom shoppers or are viral best sellers on social media. While selecting the items, I considered a wide range, so that there would something for everyone on your list (and then some). I also took price and quality into account.

Best Cozy Gift for Her

1. Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Robe

Barefoot Dreams

If you’ve ever owned anything from Barefoot Dreams, you already know why the CozyChic fabric has a cult following. It’s plush without feeling bulky, made from the brand's signature microfiber that somehow stays cloud-soft without shrinking or pilling—even after endless wash cycles. As for this robe, it has a unisex fit with a 48-inch length (size down if you want a more tailored look), and the double belt loops keep everything securely tied. It’s the kind of robe that’s so cozy, it makes a quick coffee run feel questionable because taking it off suddenly feels unreasonable.

Best Gift Under $100

2. Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream Mini Skincare Routine

Augustinus Bader

If you’re hunting for a wow beauty gift that feels luxe but costs less than $100, this mini set from Augustinus Bader is it. The four-piece lineup—The Serum, The Rich Cream, Eye Cream and Face Cream Mask—taps into the brand’s proprietary TFC8 technology without the full-size commitment, providing hydration, smoothing, brightness and deep nourishment in one polished box. It’s ideal for the person who loves high-performance skincare but hates a 12-step routine, and given that it's a $232 value for just $98, it’s an easy add-to-cart.

Best Sweater

3. Free People My Only Sunshine Sweater

Free People

If you're shopping for someone who aspires to live in a Nancy Meyers movie, pay attention. This pullover has that chunky, cozy texture that you’d expect to see on Amanda Woods as she pads through a snowy English cottage in cashmere socks in The Holiday. The thickset stitching gives it that plush, sink-into-it feel, while the cotton–acrylic blend keeps it soft (not scratchy). I love the relaxed mock neck and slightly slouchy fit—it reads effortless, not oversized—and the length hits just right with straight jeans or trousers.

Best PJ Upgrade

4. Nordstrom Moonlight Eco Crop Pajamas

Nordstrom

If you know someone who tends to run warm, they’ll appreciate the soft, breezy feel of these tencel modal jersey pajamas. Reviewers say the lightweight, silky fabric (which, BTdubs, is also sustainably produced) is “soft and dreamy” and washes and dries “very well.” More importantly however, they reportedly stay quite cool on. They come in a ton of colors and alternate styles, too, so you can choose a pair for any lady on your list.

If you watched Nobody Wants This, you probably recognize this piece. Kristen Bell’s character Joanne wears it in every pivotal moment—and this mini version is now the biggest gifting trend of the season. Handcrafted from solid 9-karat yellow gold with a groovy, '70s design, the charm is finished with a tiny 0.01-carat diamond that catches studio lighting and sunlight just the same. The hinged bail snaps onto a 15-inch chain—and because the letters are limited, grabbing their initial feels a little like securing a prop straight off the Netflix set.

Best Toiletry Bag

6. Longchamp Le Pliage Cosmetics Case

Longchamp

A PureWow reader obsession for a reason, this little cosmetics case (in the style of Longchamp's iconic Le Pliage tote) could double as a mini top-handle bag. Made from durable nylon with the brand’s signature textured leather trim, it’s water-resistant inside, feather-light at just 0.2 pounds, and perfectly sized for nights out or tossing into a carry-on without sacrificing space. The top handle makes it easy to grab and go, and it somehow manages to feel both practical as a toiletry bag and quietly luxe as a clutch. I especially love it in Fawn for everyday polish, Pebble for a soft neutral moment and British Green for a Royal-inspired pop of color.

Best for a Teenage Girl

7. Ugg Classic Suede Ultra Mini Platform Boots

Ugg

I have two cousins—one in high school, one in college—and these Ugg Boots are all over their Instagram posts like a uniform. With a chunky 2.25-inch platform, soft suede upper and cozy UGGplush lining that molds to your foot with wear, they hit the sweet spot between cozy and cool. They run true to size (size up if you’re between), pull on easily and instantly upgrade everything from baggy jeans to yoga pants with scrunched socks. If you want a Gen Z gift that will 100 percent get worn—and posted—this is the one.

Best Designer Perfume

8. Tom Ford Santal Blush Eau de Parfum Spray

Tom Ford

Taylor Swift herself reportedly reaches for Tom Ford Santal Blush—and once you smell it, the choice makes perfect sense. In a PureWow100 review, Beauty Editor Chelsea Candelario calls the scent “sexy, rich and luxurious,” saying it felt like “stepping into a 5-star hotel or putting on a very fashionable outfit.” Built around creamy sandalwood with warm hits of cinnamon bark oil and ylang-ylang, it wears close to the skin but lingers impressively—“even when I washed my hands, I still found the scent lingering on my wrists,” she adds. “You don’t have to be a huge Swiftie to enjoy the boldness of the fragrance. It leaves a warm scent behind that’s soft and cozy, especially during the winter months ahead.”

Best Red Light Mask

9. Omnilux Contour Face LED Mask

Omnilux

If you’re looking to gift a cult-loved red light therapy mask, Omnilux is it. With 132 medical-grade LEDs and red + near-infrared light, it targets fine lines, dark spots and overall skin laxity (without needles, downtime or the price tag of in-office treatments). Take it from a PureWow100 review from former editor Stephanie Meraz, whose 61-year-old mom tested it consistently (three to five times per week for six weeks): “I definitely see less wrinkles and am very impressed with my jawline area,” her mom reported. “The most noticeable change was in the saggy skin around the mouthline.” She adds, “The results are amazing—and I am not one who feels that Botox or surgery is for me, so the Omnilux Contour face device is definitely worth including in my collection.”

Best Bodycare Set

10. Nécessaire The Body Wash Collection Set

Nécessaire

This limited-edition body wash set from Nécessaire is the definition of quiet luxury for the shower—four minis of its cult-favorite formulas (Eucalyptus, Hinoki, Santal and Olibanum) for just $48 (a $60 value). The pH-balanced, glycerin-rich wash gently cleanses without stripping, while luxe oils of marula, cacay and meadowfoam, plus vitamins A, B3, C and E, leave skin genuinely soft—not just freshly rinsed. It’s sulfate-, phthalate- and paraben-free, cruelty-free, made in the USA and even doubles as a nourishing bubble bath. It's the easiest crowd-pleasing gift that still feels elevated (and will make their bathroom feel like a spa).

Best Gift for Anyone Who's Always Cold

11. FP Movement Pippa Packable Puffer Jacket

Free People

Give the gift of style *and* warmth with this PrimaLoft-insulated jacket from Free People. The slightly oversized fit and boxy cut leaves plenty of space for layering their favorite cashmere sweaters underneath, and the zip-front closure also makes it a cinch to take off once they’ve reached their destination. The best part, though? It can fold into its own pocket, making it conveniently packable—or able to quickly become a makeshift pillow on a plane.

Best Grooming Kit

12. Le Mini Macaron Gel Manicure Kit

Le Mini Macaron

This manicure kit's dessert-inspired packaging is sweet enough to eat, but don't be fooled, there is some serious salon-level power to be found inside. The polish is an all-in-one base coat, color and top coat, while included lamp cures each nail in 30 seconds, making whipping out a fresh set a breeze (though as our SEO editor discovered, there is a learning curve to it). At less than $40, it’s basically the cost of a single salon gel mani, and they can buy the polish ($13) separately for future manis as needed.

Best Slip-Ons for Him

13. Birkenstock Suede Boston Clogs

Birkenstock

Birkenstocks are the ultimate in comfort for their unrivaled arch support and legendary cork soles that mold to the shape of your foot with wear. While they’re versatile enough to be worn outside the house (reviewers say they “go with every outfit”), your favorite homebody can sport them to get the mail, take out the trash or make their twelve times daily trek from the office to the coffee pot. Keep in mind that they run a half size large. 

Best Beanie

14. Polo Ralph Lauren Cable-Knit Beanie

Polo Ralph Lauren

This cable-knit hat’s warmth is as no-nonsense as it gets, and for the outdoor enthusiast, that’s exactly what we’re after. The thick blend of wool, recycled polyester and nylon ensures weighty coverage and durability—something that he'll surely appreciate when it's keeping his head toasty on a cold winter’s day.

Most Lounge-Worthy Joggers

15. Ugg Tasman Joggers

Ugg

These are the kind of  joggers he’ll  want to pull on immediately after opening the box. They're made of a mix of cotton and recycled polyester that will keep him warm on the colder days of the year, and the braided detailing of the Tasman style at the pockets adds a unique touch. As a nice extra, they’re made in a factory that supports “women-worker empowerment” through HERproject.

Comfiest Shoes for Sneakerheads

16. New Balance 574 Sneakers

New Balance

PSA: New Balance isn’t just for hip dads. Your favorite sneakerhead is sure to appreciate the retro streetwear style of these unisex kicks, which feature suede overlays, EVA-cushioned midsoles and a grippy tread that performs just as well on dirt trails as it does on city sidewalks.

I’d be willing to bet that the wallet he’s carrying is the same one he’s had since the last person (maybe you?) bought him one as a gift—which means that it’s also probably high time for an upgrade. This one is crafted from responsibly-sourced leather, and despite its slim profile, has both card and hidden pockets in addition to the main currency compartment. It's also compact enough to not impede him from sitting on it in the car.

Best Gift for Music Lovers

18. Crosley C62 Record Player

Crosley Radio

If he’s a record buff who needs no excuse to soundtrack a party with his collection, he needs a player that looks the part and sounds even better. This Crosley model is aesthetically pleasing, is said to play beautifully and (bonus for you) doesn’t cost a ton—likely because the “wood” accents are actually made of MDF, keeping the price down without sacrificing sound. It plays records at two speeds (33 1/3 and 45 RPM) and has a built-in Bluetooth receiver if he wants to use it to play more modern jams.

Best Dressy Sneakers

19. Clae Leather Ellington Sneakers

Clae

These comfortable sneakers with perfectly coordinated laces are far from the type he’d wear to the gym and deserve a place in the closet of someone who takes their wardrobe game seriously. The leather is responsibly sourced to lessen the impact on the environment, and the insoles are removable for washing. All in all, shoppers say they’re a great shoe he can wear every day, and even dress up for work.

Best Gift for Him Under $25

20. Adidas Trefoil 6-Sock Set

adidas

OK, so I know socks may not be at the top of everyone’s wish lists, but these actually make for a solid gift. Made from a stretchy, sweat-wicking knit, they don’t skimp on comfort or warmth—reviewers say they’re “good quality” and “won’t fall down” in a pair of trusty winter boots, since they’re the right length to stay up. They'll also be around for the long haul, if reviews are any indicator: “Very long-lasting socks,” wrote one enthusiast.

Best Gift for Teens (and Hikers)

21. Fjällräven Kånken Backpack

Fjällräven

This Swedish-designed backpack hits all the marks for both functionality and attractive design. It’s water-resistant, so he won’t have to worry if he gets caught out in the rain, and there's a removable cushion insert inside that can be used for an on-the-go seat pad. Beyond that, the backpack has also become a hit with Gen Z for its minimalist style—and the fact that it’s lightweight and durable, yet roomy enough to hold all your daily necessities.

Best Men's Robe

22. Majestic International Ultra Lux Robe

Majestic International

You heard it here first: This is one of the most gift-worthy robes around. With large patch pockets and the cotton terry fabric of a plush towel, it’s bound to become his go-to for tossing on straight out of the shower. The removable tie belt makes it customizable (always good for gifting, especially when you’re unsure of the recipient’s exact size), and reviewers say it lives up to its luxe name: “It is downright heavy with fantastic weight that hugs your entire body,” wrote one. “It also has the length you need to stay warm head-to-toe."

Trendiest Tumbler

23. Stanley The Quencher 40-Ounce Tumbler

Stanley

You’ve no doubt seen this distinctive water bottle in the clutches of your favorite influencers, friends and pretty much anyone who wants to up their hydration without sacrificing style. This 40-ounce version will keep them sipping away for hours: According to the company, it can keep drinks cold for 11 hours and hot drinks hot for up to seven, while ice will reportedly stay icy for no less than two days. The ergonomic handle is also designed to make carrying this larger amount of liquid a breeze.

Best Gift for Travelers

24. Nori Handheld Steamer

Nori

For those who hate to iron (who doesn’t?), travel a lot or simply don’t have the space to lug out the old board each time they need to erase some wrinkles on their outfit, the Nori steamer will be a godsend. This finely tuned appliance has six fabric-specific settings, meaning they’ll never scorch their favorite button-up again, and it can be used to press the front and back of the garment at once, cutting their ironing time in half. There’s a reason it made Oprah’s favorite things list, people!

Best to Encourage Healthy Sleep Habits

25. Hatch Restore 3 Sunrise Alarm Clock

Hatch

If they’re more of a night owl than an early riser, they’ll appreciate this understated clock that will not only enhance any bedside table, but wake them up with a gentle light that’s meant to emulate a sunrise. (And if that doesn’t work, there’s a soothing melody to go along with it.) Its nature-inspired noises will also work to help soothe them to sleep. Although they can also control it through an app, the device is meant to encourage phone-free bedtimes, so most of its controls are right there on it.

Best for Nostalgic Design Lovers

26. Smeg Retro Kettle

Smeg

If they know anything about home decor, they’ll know Smeg. Famed for its cheeky retro aesthetic, this brand is coveted by design lovers everywhere. They’ll want to place this kettle on display even when not in use, but when they do use it, they’ll be thrilled with the 360-degree swivel base and easy-to-read water level indicators, as well as the soft-opening lid that will reportedly prevent a sudden dangerous release of steam. It also has a removable limescale filter for better-tasting tea, hot water and more.

Best for New Parents

27. Nuna Revv Car Seat

Nuna

This car seat has so many adjustable elements, it might as well be customized for your baby. Free of chemical flame-retardants, the apparatus can be used with baby from birth through toddlerhood (5 to 40 pounds) with its wealth of features. It can be positioned for rear- or front-facing riders, with modifications that range from ten height positions, flip-open cupholders and five-point harness adjusts, so little one should be extra safe and secure—particularly since it also has side impact protection pods. Many, however, cited the seat’s swivel base as its most helpful feature, since it made it that much easier to get kiddos out of the car.

Best Newborn Gift

28. Little Giraffe Luxe Baby Blanket

Little Giraffe

Nothing is sweeter than a baby wrapped in a snuggly blanket, and this thick cover, which is “super soft” by all accounts, is one that will grow with them, since it’s made with a durable polyester that will hold up to multiple washings—a must when looking for quality baby items. Its silky satin is bordered by a fuzzy faux fur that’s meant to be gentle on sensitive skin, and at 29 inches wide by 35 inches long, it’s big enough to tuck into a stroller or toss on the ground for a safe and cuddly playtime.
