I’m a shopping writer, but I somehow still wait until the last minute to buy gifts for my loved ones.
Thankfully, I’m certain Nordstrom can save me some gift-related tears. I just spent hours combing through its Black Friday deals and am here to report: It’s flush with over 6,000 of them from Steve Madden, Calvin Klein, BaubleBar, and more brands starting at $6.
Plus, I’ve written about the store’s deals over a dozen times (and once a month!), and I’ve personally been shopping there for well over a decade. TL;DR: I know a good Nordstrom deal when I see one.
Best Overall Nordstrom Black Friday Deals
For stocking stuffers and smaller gifts under $50, I’m looking at this gold ring from the brand that Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts have both worn, along with celeb-inspired cardigans for the colder cities I’m visiting. While I’m not personally hosting, I know a few who would leap at a discounted Dutch oven from Le Creuset. Spanx and Free People are also brands I’ve scouted on celebrities, which both have deals on fall and winter clothing.
Best Celebrity-Inspired Nordstrom Black Friday Deals
While I found my fill of celebrity-inspired styles like sweater dresses, corduroy pants, white sneakers, and warm turtlenecks, I also plucked out a few things from brands stars really wear. Kristen Bell, Jennifer Garner, and Oprah are all fans of Spanx clothing, and BaubleBar celebrity sightings are also constantly bubbling up.
Treasure & Bond Clean Oversize Cardigan
Between a European vacation, many washes, and all the times I’ve worn my cardigan over the last year, I can argue that another, like this one, wouldn’t go unworn. Also, Reese Witherspoon and Martha Stewart are still wearing them. They’re such hero pieces that layer well, supply warmth, and bode well with other styles.
BaubleBar Juno Rose Quartz Linear Drop Earrings
These earrings are made to match Katie Holmes’ rose quartz necklace, and they’re a cheery change-up from pearls or hoops.
Steve Madden Duo Wide-Leg Cargo Pants
Wide-leg silhouettes can be flattering, though they don’t always have pockets. This pair, which takes a cue from pants Oprah and Gwyneth Paltrow have worn, has more than enough and is a style that’s not just jeans or slacks.
MIA Kerri Pointed-Toe Flat
Ballet flats? My mom, sister, best friend, and I are all wearing them. And Jennifer Lopez is on board with the trend, too.
T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer
Styling my new bangs has been a learning curve, and a higher-quality blow dryer might be what’s missing. I’ve tried T3’s curling iron, which is a PEOPLE Tested winner, and Zendaya has had her hair done with rollers from the brand.

Best Nordstrom Black Friday Holiday Home Essentials Deals
To make things as cozy as can be, decorate the house with Balsam Hill garlands, plush Calvin Klein blankets, and fresh towels for the guests — three of the top home buys on my wish list.
Others, like Dutch ovens and serving bowls, are from celebrity-used brands like Le Creuset and Our Place. I even found a majorly discounted 17-piece cookware set that I’d nab for the new homeowners in my life.
Le Creuset Signature 3.5-Quart Round Enamel Cast Iron French/Dutch Oven
Martha Stewart owns many Dutch ovens “because they’re really, really great to prepare soup, stew, sauce, any of those things.” While hers may not be from Le Creuset, the one Sarah Jessica Parker owns is. This one has a lid knob that remains cool even after sitting in the oven.
Balsam Hill Vermont White Spruce Pre-Lit Garland
Even The Pioneer Woman’s Ree Drummond decorates her home for the holidays with Balsam Hill garlands similar to this one.
Our Place Cast Iron Always Pan Set
Pots and pans can cause a lot of clutter in the kitchen. Downsize to a single set that, among other functions, fries, sautés, and broils. Mindy Kaling cooks with one, along with Cameron Diaz and Selena Gomez.

Best Nordstrom Black Friday Stocking Stuffers Deals
BaubleBar jewelry, Hydro Flask water bottles, and makeup sets from Bobbi Brown and MAC Cosmetics would squeeze seamlessly into a stocking. I could use some cozy Barefoot Dreams socks, so here’s hoping for those, too. My other favorites below start at $6 and go for up to $63.
Bobbi Brown Extra Plump Hydrating Lip Oil Duo
Chapped lips are very common in the fall or winter, so this hydrating formula with hyaluronic acid is a fail-safe gift. Plus, the packaging for gift sets looks prettier than it does when the products are purchased individually.
BaubleBar Annie Stack Ring
I’ve become well acquainted with BaubleBar because I’ve covered Brittany Mahomes, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and more stars wearing the brand. I’ve since picked up a few other rings from the brand, but this is the one I want this year.
Benefit Cosmetics Big Time Brow Minis Set
I have sparse eyebrow spots, but if I start my day by coloring them in, I want them to stay that way. This kit comes with a pencil for the former and a gel to keep them locked in place.

Best Under-$50 Nordstrom Black Friday Deals
Many of the stocking stuffers were under $50, but there are too many other irresistible steals that would be better under the tree. Spanx shirts and comfy loafers fall in the clothing category, but daily planners and travel mirrors are more versatile picks. There’s also a card case that would make a great gift for men and an adorable Disney stuffed animal for children.
Voluspa Foraged Wildberry Large Jar Candle
An apple a day keeps the doctors away, while a berry candle will keep people coming to your house. “[It] reminds me of acai or pomegranate but with a hint of fall spice,” wrote one shopper.
Spanx Rib Polo
This Spanx shirt reminds me of the Gucci dress Julia Roberts wore to Wimbledon — it also had a polo collar and looks nicely tailored for more polish.
Papier Wonder Daily Planner
My past three planners have all been from Papier. I personally prefer the dated ones, but this fill-as-you-go option is great for those who like to have more flexibility with when and how to use it.

Best Nordstrom Black Friday Fall and Winter Fashion Deals
Right now is also a good time to plan for winter fashion. I made a comprehensive list with all different styles, including puffer jackets, tall boots, Free People sweaters, cashmere scarves and more from $8.
Zella Ultra-Cozy Pullover Hoodie
I work from home, so I live in loungewear. But this would be a good pick if you prefer a nice plush sweatshirt over a stiff, starchy shirt. The cotton-blend hoodie comes in nine colors, though purple is the only one on sale.
Dr. Scholl’s Maryland Wedge Zip Bootie
Shoes can’t fit in a stocking, but they’re still a gift I personally love receiving. I picked out this pair from Dr. Scholl’s because they have a little bit of brown and black, which I just think looks really cool.
Nordstrom Cashmere Scarf
I no longer buy scarves for myself since I live in the desert, but I know my mom, who experiences snow where she lives, would be thrilled to open up some cashmere on Christmas morning. And since it has a plain design, I may even pick up a few for the men in my life, too.
