    25 Amazing Gifts To Get At Nordstrom This Year

    No matter what they told you, they don't actually want a gift certificate this year.

    What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.

    Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it. You can see Nordstrom's full shipping information here.

    1. A stainless-steel block alarm clock that'll be a chic addition to your work buddy's WFH setup. If your loved one can often be found waxing poetically about the charm of old-school alarm clocks, this battery-powered classic is for them — and it has an alarm and snooze feature, too.

    2. A plush throw to up your loved one's couch decor game, while also helping them feel as cozy as a cloud.

    3. A Boy Smells scented candle that smells so lovely, you'll want to get one for yourself, too. This candle combines the deep, floral scent of fig leaves with a grounding spiciness derived from black pepper and cardamom. Plus, it works as a great decor piece, so consider this a 2-in-1 gift.

    4. A Pure Radiance body care set, because everyone deserves the gift of soft skin! This set, which contains a scrub and body butter to whisk away dead skin cells and add a glow to the arms, legs, and chest, is great for your friend who's just getting into skincare — since skincare definitely doesn't end with your face.

    5. A SKIMS pajama set that the entire internet is buzzing about. This ribbed stretch model pajama set feels luxurious against the skin and comes in nine neutral colors — perfect for the friend who's cultivating a minimalist wardrobe.

    6. A magnesium reset spray for relaxing tense muscles, because everyone deserves a reset, especially the work- and workout-loving person in your life! This magnesium spray is perfect for soothing soreness after workouts or pulling long hours, and even helps to alleviate occasional stress. I love using this when I've worked myself to the bone (and, because I'm a Capricorn, that's quite often).

    7. And a massage gun, to help your loved ones who need something a little bit stronger to soothe their aching muscles. I have this percussive massage tool, and I love that it completely gets all the kinks out of my legs after a long run. And if I close my eyes and imagine hard enough, it even feels as if I'm getting a real massage. Yes, it's that good.

    8. A Byredo Bibliotheque Eau de Parfum, just in case your giftee fantasizes about having an old-fashioned, leather-bound-book-filled library in their dream home. This scent smells both musky and floral, like being in the most luxurious bibliotheque you can imagine.

    9. An ultrasonic cool mist aromatherapy diffuser that'll diffuse lovely scents to whisk their minds away from the daily hustle and bustle. While not in use, this diffuser also makes for some great decor on any nightstand.

    10. A Bluetooth micro speaker for the music lover in your life who is always cranking up the volume when their favorite songs come on. This portable speaker is small, yes — but it is LOUD! Plus, its compact size will help your friend take their favorite music on the go, to the beach or pool, or even the shower.

    11. An adjustable desk stand that'll help your technology-loving friends stand while they work, and improve their tech-neck and posture woes. This desk stand is also great at supporting tablets or cookbooks in the kitchen, too.

    12. A set of round mirrored coasters with felt bases, because there is no better way to spruce up a coffee table while also protecting it from condensation rings. If Danny Tanner were a real person, he'd likely already have this in his cart — so pick some up for the stylish neat freak in your life.

    13. A hair oil that pretty much does it all — softens, detangles fussy knots, and helps to diminish frizz for a shiny finish. Consider this for the person in your life who is always after perfect-looking tresses.

    14. A slim drop vase for those who enjoys minimalist design at home. Simply add a few tall flowers into this vase, or display it by itself on the coffee table.

    15. A NuFACE facial toning device that is all the rage in the beauty industry because of its tightening and toning effects. This device uses microcurrent technology to tone facial muscles. Stars like Hailey Bieber, Miranda Kerr, and *many* others are already obsessed, so your skincare-loving friend likely will be, too.

    16. A round blow-dryer brush to help give your blowout-obsessed loved ones a salon-worthy style with the simple flick of a wrist.

    17. A faux orchid planter, because flowers immediately bring life to a room, and even your most plant-murder-prone friend should be able to enjoy that.

    18. A reversible faux leather tote with matching wristlet, so that your bestie can carry a tote bag that fits it all while still looking chic.

    19. A colorful framed art print, because whether your friends hang this in the bathroom, the bedroom, or even the kitchen, it will surely add a ton of pizzazz to their bare walls.

    20. A pair of cashmere-lined leather touchscreen gloves to keep your best friend's digits warm and cozy this winter, while still allowing them the opportunity to text you.

    21. A jewelry polishing tool for your loved one who is always rocking some major rocks, and is obsessed with properly caring for them. This formula-free pom will clean and illuminate even the most tarnished metals and gemstones.

    22. A brass cotton jar so your loved ones can finally get rid of their plastic bags full of cotton rounds, and store their skincare supplies in style.

    23. An LED light therapy mask that pretty much every skincare-aficionado has on their wish list. THis LED light mask uses red and blue LED lights to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and help eradicate acne-causing bacteria. I use this whenever I need a helping hand with my skincare woes.

    24. A cozy fleece robe from Ugg to help your giftee stay warm and comfy on Sunday mornings, or after a soothing post-workday bath.

    25. And a pair of colorful Kate Spade glittery huggie hoop earrings, because 'tis the season for glitz and glam, baby! Let your giftee shine like the star they are with these earrings that will work not just for the holiday season, but every season of the year.
