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 bestie 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 the perfume that has all of TikTok in a tizzy (Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum, from $210), to the softest blanket (UGG Coastline Plush Throw Blanket, $98) known to man, there is certainly no shortage of present-worthy options. In fact, I did a deep dive of hundreds of giftable selections for women, men, homebodies and kids on the site to find the 40 best of the very best that will have you feeling like Santa himself. Check out what made the cut below.

1. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum
Maison Francis Kurkdjian
This perfume has been making the rounds on social media for a while now, and for good reason: It smells expensive, it lasts all day and it has none of the alcohol or overpowering musk you’ll find in its dupes or other high-end perfumes. (Trust me, I’ve put it to the test.) With notes of jasmine, saffron, cedarwood and ambergris, this sophisticated scent is best suited for someone worthy of spoiling. At $210 for the smaller size of 1.2 ounces, it certainly doesn’t come cheap. Because of the price, it’s something they’re unlikely to buy for themselves often, however, making it a gift they’ll truly appreciate.

The rain can't stop your bestie from walking in style thanks to these adorable waterproof booties. These Chelsea-style boots are timeless and perfect for all seasons. Not to mention they add some major lift with a 2 1/2-inch heel and a 1 1/4-inch platform (

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 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). The polish is an all-in-one base coat, color and top coat, and the top of the magnetic lamp can be flipped over do a pedicure, as well. 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.

Monogram gifts are the way to go when you want to show someone you put thought into choosing something just for them, and this sterling silver or 24K gold-plate over sterling silver necklace is so much more chic than a set of monogrammed towels. Customizable with up to nine letters, it’s delicate enough to stack with other necklaces, but also makes a statement on its own. Whether you personalize it with the name of the recipient (or maybe the name of their child or S.O.), they’ll appreciate that you went the extra mile to get them something truly unique.

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 gal on your list.

- Size range: XXS to XL
I love diamonds as much as the next person, but sometimes, you want sparkle that will do a little less damage to your bank account—particularly if you’re picking up a gift for your bestie or sis who loves a bit of glamour. These cubic zirconia studs are as glittery as it gets according to reviewers, who say you “would never know they weren't real.” They’re also just the right size for travel. For $50, I think you’d be totally justified in buying a pair for a loved one and your own jewelry box—I won't tell.

Whether she’s commuting to the office or just needs something cozy to toss on while running errands, these shorter versions of the classic UGG shearling boots ($180) will be the way to go. They've garnered more than 1,600 5-star reviews on Nordstrom alone for their soft, warm UGGplush lining, which is a moisture-wicking material made from a wool blend that's meant to keep her tootsies feeling warm, but never sweaty. Even Jennifer Garner loves them!

- Size range: 5 to 12
Foldable and fashionable, a Longchamp bag is a ultimate timeless accessory they’ll have for years to come. The nylon body makes it lightweight (i.e. perfect for travel), while the leather handles are strong and durable. The lining is also water-resistant, so they won’t have to worry about carrying their electronics in it (even in inclement weather). I recommend this larger version (12.25 inches wide by 11.75 inches high), which is big enough to hold your larger tablet, but is still just under a pound.

For the gal who loves to have her hair perfectly styled at all times, but has no time to do it, this revolutionary flat iron will be just the gift. It has a curved barrel back, which means they’ll be able to create soft waves and curls as well as sleek, straight looks, all with this practically personalized tool. (Can you say time saver?) What’s more, it uses smart technology to analyze the thickness of its user's hair and their average styling speed to maintain its optimal temperature of 365 degrees at all times.

When it comes to loungewear, it can be hard to find a set that delivers in looks, comfort and quality. I love Eberjey for pj’s, and this two-piece will reportedly be as soft as any your giftee is liable to own while still being put together enough to wear outside in darker colors. (The material is on the thinner side, however, so reviewers say you’ll want to choose your undergarments wisely.) I also like the oversized ties on both the pants and the top that give this set a stylish upgrade from your basic tee-and-jogger combo.

- Size range: XS to XL
Got a stylish someone on your list who loves designer accessories, but doesn’t love to wear leather? Whether they’re vegan or just prefer the durability and water-resistance of faux leather, the plant-based material (BioFabbrica Bio-Tex, if you’re curious) of Tory Burch’s super popular new BIo tote is made of 64 percent USDA-certified bio-based content (read more on that here). The embossed signature Tory Burch logo is large-yet-understated, and it’s embossed into the material. Did I mention this bag can also fit a laptop of up to 13 inches (or more)? Fashion and function—bestill our hearts!

If you had told me ten years ago that I’d be able to give my loved ones real roses that last more than a year, I’d never have believed you. This Venus et Fleur bouquet makes that entirely possible, however, with four flawless roses in one of four gorgeous shades that are preserved to retain their scent and their velvety petals past the one-year mark with proper care, per the company. The box is elegant as well, making the whole package worthy of a place of honor in their home.

The Barbour jacket is a staple in any closet, but I love this quilted twist. It features a tie in the front to pull everything close and you'll still get that classic Barbour collar that has a peek of tartan under it as well as on the lining. It's made of 100 percent recycled polyester so it's good to throw on during windy and rainy days.

Quite luxury meets affordability in this stylish mockneck sweater. It comes in eight different hues, that feature a fun stripe along the neckline and cuffs of the vented sleeves. It's on the thinner side, so it's perfect for tucking into trousers for the workday or pairing with a pleated skirt.

- Size range: XXS to XXL
Bootcut jeans are making a major comeback this year, and to that, I say, "Yeehaw!" With a midrise fit, this dark wash is universally flattering and comes in a wide size range (including petite for the shorties). They do run a bit large, so it's recommended to size down to be safe. Now, your giftee just needs some cowboy boots and they'll be off to the races.

Give the gift of style *and* warmth with this puffy jacket from Free People. The slightly oversized fit and boxy cut leaves plenty of space for layering their favorite cashmere sweaters underneath, and the snap-front closure also make 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 super packable or can quickly become a makeshift pillow on a plane.

Size range: XS to XL
While there will always be a place in our closets for the classic white sneaker, a teen may have more fun stepping out with a bit more color—especially in a trendy style, like these platform Chuck Taylors. The 2-inch platform will give them a bit of lift, and the removable OrthoLite insole is said to give that comfy bounce with each step. Shoppers say that there’s “no break-in required,” so they’ll be able to pull on these fun sneakers and hit the ground running.

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.

Whether he has a perfectly trimmed beard or mustache or likes to keep his face facial hair-free, odds are, he’s probably using shaving products—and probably not the ones that are as kind to his skin as they could be. This travel-sized kit means he’ll never be far from his new favorite essentials, which will have him covered from pre-shave prep to post-shave bliss. While this set doesn’t come with a razor, he’ll get a shaving brush, an oil, a cream and a balm that will take his grooming next level.

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 his runs in the colder month 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.

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 and a “heavily nubbed tread.” The insole comes out for easy cleaning, and it certainly doesn’t hurt that New Balance has received the Fair Labor Association accreditation for its manufacturing practices that also supports workers—a win/win!

Nordstrom describes this hat’s warmth as “no-nonsense,” and for the outdoor enthusiast, that’s exactly what we’re after. Reviewers say the fit is “amazing” and that it’s “so soft,” too—something that he'll surely appreciate when it's keeping his head toasty on a cold winter’s day. The 100 percent acrylic knit is also known for its strength and durability.

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.

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.

These sleek leather 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.

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 recycled materials to put the planet first, 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.

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.

Consider this your sign to toss those ratty slippers he’s had since college. This sleek leather pair is lined with UGGplush, aka the same moisture-wicking wool-based material that the company uses to line its signature shearling boots, ensuring that his feet will stay just as dry as they do warm. The removable insole will allow him to customize the fit to his needs, which is extra helpful, since they come in whole sizes only. Note that while they may start off snug, they’re made to stretch out over time.

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."

This genius appliance washes and sterilizes, killing 99.9 percent of germs in less than eight to 12 minutes, according to the company. It even perfectly dries bottles in another good ten minutes.
