Gift Ideas for the Holidays from Nordstrom

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wake Forest chapter.

Nordstrom has more options for gifts than you can imagine! Ranging from super cheap to quite expensive, there are thousands of items to choose from for all of the women in your life. Here are some of my favorite finds of the season:

1. https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/topshop-panther-clutch/5419789/full 

This Topshop “Panther Clutch” is so cute and can be worn as a crossbody or held as a clutch on a night out. It makes a statement with velvet and a chic snake print design. The gold panther emblem makes this clutch look very high-end and much more expensive than its actual price of $38. Grab it in black, beige or red before it sells out!

2. https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/topshop-paz-snakeskin-print-detail-faux-leather-card-holder/5467056/full?origin=category-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FBrands%2FTopshop&color=red

This Topshop cardholder is only $12 and once again, looks way more expensive! The faux red leather and snakeskin detailing come together to make a statement. This gift is not only practical but a fashionable addition to anyone’s collection.

3. https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/madewell-star-sparkle-friendship-bracelet-set/5414773/full

At only $18, these Madewell friendship bracelets are sophisticated and do not look like typical friendship bracelets. Who says you have to stop with BFF jewelry after elementary school? This meaningful delicate set is the perfect pair for you and your best friend. 

4. https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/baublebar-mini-alidia-ring/5318011/full?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FAll%20Results&color=pastel%20rainbow

This Baublebar ring comes in a variety of colors and can be a statement for any outfit! The rainbow ones are especially cute to wear alongside your daily accessories. A little more expensive than the other gifts so far, this ring is $44, but this is a gift guaranteed to be worn for years to come. It also comes in a wider band in case that is more appealing (https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/baublebar-alidia-ring/5046727/full?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FAll%20Results&color=rainbow)!

5. https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/baublebar-giana-beaded-hoop-earrings/5488875/full?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FAll%20Results&color=white

Perfect for the friend about to go through Recruitment or anyone who loves some good statement earrings, these beaded hoops are playful and charming. They are also on sale for $21 at the moment! Baublebar has hundreds of options for statement jewelry, so if these do not draw your attention, then there are many other gift options for your liking!

6. https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bp-faux-fur-pom-beanie-plaid-scarf-set/5367889/full?origin=category-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FHoliday%20Gifts%2FGifts%20for%20Her&color=black%20combo

This beanie and scarf set from BP. is adorable from your mom, sister, or best friend. The set comes in either black or pink. It will make even the coldest of days a little bit better to be able to wear these outside and it’s only $39! It also comes wrapped in a bow perfect for the holidays, so look no further for the perfect gift. 

7. https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/viktorrolf-flowerbomb-eau-de-parfum-travel-spray/4150506/full?origin=category-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FBeauty%2FFragrance%2FPerfume&color=none

This is personally my favorite perfume of all time, so I may be a little biased including this in my gift guide, but Flowerbomb is such a sweet and feminine scent that is not overwhelming by any means. By getting this scent in a travel spray for only $30, you can give your friend or family member a chance to try the perfume out for themselves in a small dose, then hopefully fall in love with it. Who knows, maybe it’ll become their signature scent!

8. https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/urban-decay-naked-honey-eyeshadow-palette/5375446/full?origin=category-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FBeauty%2FMakeup%2FEyeshadow&color=none

You cannot go wrong with this new Naked palette. I can’t wait to get one for myself and it is the perfect gift for the makeup guru in your life. Though it is a little bit more expensive at $49, these palettes last for a long time (I’ve had the original for four years now!) and offer so many beautiful color options. The new honey palette is a mix of golds, yellows, and a few browns. This is especially perfect for people with brown or hazel eyes.

9. https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sole-society-mason-weekend-bag/3976297/full?origin=category-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FWomen%2FAccessories%2FLuggage%20%26%20Travel&color=olive%20canvas

This is the perfect weekend bag for the traveler in your life. It is $89, but has wonderful reviews and is sure to last for years to come. Sole Society is a reliable brand and there are many color options as well. My favorite is the chic olive canvas color with the faux leather detailing. There is also a leopard print lining on the inside to add a little extra flair. 

10. https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/topshop-lucinda-satin-pajamas/5483504/full?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FAll%20Results&color=rose

Lastly these Topshop Satin pajamas are so cute for any of the girls in your life. So soft and delicate, these are bound to be a hit for anyone with a love for pajama sets. At $50, these are definitely not cheap, but good quality and an elegant look are worth a little extra money!
