Part of the fun of buying gifts is finding the things that you know your family and friends will love — even before they know it themselves. In addition to the season’s must-have items and the gifts your loved ones have asked for, there are also all those finds that surprise you. Even though they weren’t on your list, they’re exactly what you were looking for. And lucky for us, they all come from the same place.
Nordstrom is always one of our favorite holiday shopping stops: It has a long-standing reputation for high quality, it’s got a department for everyone on our list, and the options are always expertly curated. Items from Nordstrom have that ohhhhhh factor: You might not have walked in expecting to buy someone a silk pillowcase or pretty pastel ice pop maker, but once you spot it, you know it’s just the thing. From stocking stuffers to bigger ticket purchases, cozy blankets to kitchen gadgets, these finds are bound to be perfect for someone on your list. Including yourself. Best of all, as long as you order by 8 p.m. ET on December 20, you’ll get your gifts in time for Christmas. Plus, for an even shorter turnaround, Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack are offering curbside pickup, which allows you to place an order and pick it up same day. It doesn’t get much more convenient than that!

Not to toot my own horn, but I’m an expert gift giver. I shop all year long, stashing away trinkets for birthdays, anniversaries, and the holidays. If I see something perfect for you in February, you’d best believe it will sit in my closet until your birthday in September (I can’t WAIT to give a certain friend a pair of Golden Girls socks I bought months ago). But even I fall into gifting ruts. This year, I decided to take a new approach to holiday gift-giving: Everyone is getting their gift at the beginning of December. Because everyone is getting an advent calendar.

What’s better than one gift? A bunch of little gifts! Think about it: The holidays are a time of indulgence and joy. Advent calendars are a nice way to add a little magic to your daily routine. It’s fun to wake up knowing you have a little treat to discover every day. I found all the holiday advent calendars you could ever need (plus some you didn’t know you needed) at Nordstrom. From beauty advent calendars to candle advent calendars to snack advent calendars, you’ll definitely find something for everyone on your list. And don’t forget to treat yourself, too.
Britt is a stargazer and sunrise-chaser with a collection of magic erasers, and a fascination with the fantastic. A storyteller at heart, she finds inspiration in all the small things, and can likely be found singing show tunes, catching up on K-dramas, or going on adventures to satiate her natural-born wanderlust. (Sometimes even all at the same time.)

From the garden to the kitchen to the bedroom, Amy can’t stop herself from constantly switching up the style in her living space. When she’s not working as a writer and editor, you can (try to) find her traveling the world, hibernating with a great book, and swimming with sea turtles.
