Nordstrom is one of our favorite places to shop, especially during the holiday season. We’ve catalogued our favorite gifts you can get at Nordstrom and the best leggings you can buy from them, but while we love perusing the Nordstrom catalogue, it’s easy to spend way more than we originally planned.
But don’t sweat—we’ve narrowed down our list of 40 amazing gifts you can get at Nordstrom to those you can get for $100 or less. Find your budget range, check out our recommendations, and pat your bank account lovingly while whispering, “it will all be OK.”
$100 or less
1. This pair of white Birkenstocks that sold out this summer
Birkenstocks are back, baby, and I couldn’t be happier. These comfy sandals are incredibly cozy, easy to slip on, and if you get the right shade, they match just about any outfit. My mother’s pair of Birkenstocks has lasted nearly 15 years, meaning she has had them for a full fashion cycle of, “cool, not cool, cool again.”
This pair of white birkenstocks was hard to find this summer, but they’re back in stock at Nordstrom and available for just under $100.

2. These highly-rated (and incredibly cozy) bathrobes
Who could say no to a bathrobe?
Bathrobes make incredible gifts, especially for those of us who still hate putting on pants like we’re back in toddlerhood. The Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Robe comes in 10 colors, meaning you can find the perfect shade for the giftee on your list. It has nearly 600 5-star reviews, with users commenting that the robe is gorgeous, comfortable, and perfect for cold weather.
The Men’s Polo Ralph Lauren Cotton Fleece Robe looks just as cozy, and while it only comes in two colors (blue and white), reviewers are still obsessed with how soft and warm it is.

3. This amazingly warm outerwear from Patagonia
Patagonia is a great brand to gift this season.
Patagonia sweaters are so deliciously cozy, so we love that the Patagonia Better Sweater comes in both a zip-up jacket and zip-up vest at Nordstrom. The jacket comes in 12 colors, and reviewers on Patagonia’s site note that it’s incredibly high quality. The vest is made from the same material, but only comes in five colors. Both the vest and jacket cost the same, so opt for the piece that best suits your giftee.

4. The Spanx Faux Leather Leggings that we can’t get enough of
We are obsessed with these Spanx leggings.
Staff writer Rachel Murphy wrote in detail about her experience with Spanx Faux Leather Leggings, noting, “The leggings are versatile enough to wear with sneakers for a casual outfit or with heels for a fancier look.” And in case her review isn’t enough, you can read through the 2,700 reviews on the Nordstrom site.

5. An incredible duffel bag made by Herschel
This bag makes an incredible gift for the man in your life.
Herschel bags are made to last—my husband swears by their Settlement Backpack, but we recommend the Herschel Supply Co Novel Duffel Bag this holiday season. It’s perfect for using as a carry-on, gym bag, or camping bag. Reviewers say it’s both beautiful and long-lasting, just like any good bag should be.

6. Sets of UGG Slippers for everyone
You get some Uggs! You get some Uggs! Everyone gets some Uggs!
Ugg has been consistently cranking out high-quality footwear for the past several years. We recommend gifting a set of their cozy slippers, which are lined with waterproof suede on the outside, but deliciously soft shearing on the inside. Slippers make a fantastic gift for the one who “doesn’t want anything” this season—trust us, they do, and they’ll appreciate these slippers.

7. Our favorite casual backpack: The Fjällräven
We love the Fjallraven backpack.
If your giftee attends school, carries a laptop to work every day, or just enjoys trotting about town with a fashionable backpack, the Fjällräven makes an excellent gift. Our testing lab named it the best backpack for casual use, noting that it’s easy to wash, has ample storage space, and comes in a variety of fun and vibrant colors.

It has more than 1,200 reviews, with people making such strong claims as, “I love this shoe cause it’s simple to pair with anything,” and, “When I wore them, I felt like I started a new trend in my office.”

10. This fantastic pair of Zella leggings
Get this pair of yoga pants for the active one on your list.
Leggings make an incredible gift for so many of the people on your list—the one who wears leggings as pants, the one who goes to yoga every week, and the one who inexplicably owns several pairs of yoga pants despite not knowing how to do yoga (guilty). This pair of leggings has more than 6,300 reviews and a firm 4.5-star rating on Nordstrom.

11. The fuzzy Wubby you’ll want to immediately touch
I can feel this fabric from the picture. Is that possible?
The Wubby fleece pullover looks like exactly the type of clothing you’d want to be wrapped in once the temperatures start to drop. If you know someone who lives up north, this pullover makes a great gift. Reviewers comment over and over about how soft this jacket is—which isn’t surprising, given that it looks exactly like a cloud.

12. A box of socks they will love
You can’t go wrong gifting socks and I will take that to my grave.
I am firmly on team #GiftSocks. They used to make me mad when I was young, but now I look forward to receiving socks every year in my stocking. And I’ve even gone so far as to gift socks, including a pair picked out by our staff writer Sara Hendricks. You’ll find Happy Socks on many of our gift guides this season—they’re colorful, high quality, festive, and ideal for the person in your life who enjoys showing off their socks every day.

13. This rustic Fossil wallet that will match their style
Not sure what to gift? You can’t go wrong with a wallet.
I’m not sure if I could count on my hands the number of wallets I’ve purchased for the men in my life over the years. This wallet from Fossil features a distressed brown leather on the exterior and has eight card slots. It makes a fabulous gift for the one whose wallet has literally started to disintegrate, and yes, dad, I’m looking at you again.

14. This men’s face wash set that comes pre-wrapped
This facial cleansing set is made with men in mind.
This Nordstrom exclusive set comes with an energizing face wash, moisturizer, and eye cream for men. It comes wrapped up with a beautiful red bow, making it one of those incredible gifts that comes pre-wrapped. Each of the bottles is travel-sized, so this kit is perfect for the frequent flier.

15. A cozy throw blanket that will look great anywhere
A deliciously soft blanket you can get for less than $40? Yes please.
I absolutely love blankets, so I am already envisioning how I could style this plush throw in my own home. This throw blanket comes in thirteen colors and feels amazing, according to reviewers. It’s about 4’ by 5’, so it makes a great accent or single-person snuggle blanket.

16. The Jack Black beard grooming kit for the one who treats his beard like a child
Not that Jack Black.
Jack Black (the company, not the actor) has an expansive collection of skin care products for men. This beard grooming kit is perfect for the fuzzy guy on your list—not that we’re saying his beard needs work, but this kit could come in handy just in case he wants to tidy it up a bit. It comes with beard wash, beard oil, beard lube, and a beard brush, and it all costs just $35.

17. Our favorite water bottle: The Hydro Flask
Hydro Flash makes a fantastic water bottle.
The Hydro Flask is our choice for the best water bottle, and it makes a great gift for just about anyone on your list. Who would turn down an insulated bottle that keeps water icy fresh all day? We found the Hydro Flask water bottle kept drinks cold for longer than 24 hours, which is just downright impressive. Plus, it comes in a range of fun colors that your giftee will love.

18. This elegant Kate Spade pendant necklace
Monogrammed jewelry is in.
We are huge fans of this stunning pendant necklace from Kate Spade. It’s incredibly elegant and chic, showcasing just one letter on a beautiful gold pendant. It makes an amazing gift for mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, and even those cousins you haven’t spoken to in a few years but are expected to turn up this holiday. It has nearly 700 5-star reviews on Nordstrom, with reviewers saying they love how you can adjust the chain length.

19. The cult favorite Capri Blue Volcano Jar Candle
Candles make great gifts for Secret Santa.
Candles are another of my favorite go-to gifts. This gorgeous candle from Capri Blue costs $30 and comes in a range of yummy smells. Plus, the mini versions cost half as much as the full size, making them great stocking stuffers.

20. Some downright cozy socks
Make me a bed from cozy socks and let me lie.
It’s hard to even look at these cozy socks and not immediately buy four pairs. They come in three colors and have a nearly perfect 5-star rating on Nordstrom. Reviewers rave about the look and feel of these socks, with come saying they’re great for lounging and others say they work well in hiking boots. Bottom line? They’re going to be an incredible gift for anyone on your list.
