Best Nordstrom gift ideas 2020: Holiday Nordstrom gift guide
If your loved ones are on the nice list this year, consider gifting them cozy loungewear fluffy slippers, silk face masks, high-tech gadgets and more.




Shopping readers have shown interest in long-lasting lipstick that works well when you wear makeup with a face mask, and Pillow Talk has become a reader-favorite option. Charlotte Tilbury's universally-flattering, pinky-nude lipstick is now available in a four-piece kit. It features a full-sized lipstick and travel-sized Pillow Talk Lip Cheat Lip Liner, Collagen Lip Bath for a glossy and plump pout and Jewel Gloss for extra shine and hydration. If you're looking to recreate the full pillow talk look, you can order the Push Up Eye Secrets Set or Dreams Come True Set, which comes with 14 full-size Pillow Talk products.
Face masks have become the must-have accessory of 2020, and Shopping readers have expressed a great interest in protective face coverings. From face masks on Etsy and kids face masks to antimicrobial masks, face masks from Disney and Crayola and face masks that ship quickly, there are plenty of mask options to choose from both at Nordstrom and beyond. This option from NiiceFace is made from cotton, features a contoured nose bridge, comes with a removable face mask filter and is available in Black Checkerboard and Red Checkerboard.
Now that temperatures have begun to drop, it's time to start thinking about your functional-yet-stylish outerwear this season. Patagonia created this highly-rated winter coat made from 100-percent recycled nylon and lined it with its proprietary recycled Thermogreen insulation. Its water-repellent coat will help keep you dry during unexpected rain storms or while tracking through snowfall. Two exterior pockets and an interior pocket provide protection for your valuables, like your wallet or hand sanitizer. The Radalie parka comes in five colorways, although two shades are currently out of stock at the moment.
Now that social distancing has become the norm and you’ll likely want to spend more time indoors due to the upcoming dreary winter weather, think about upgrading your work-from-home footwear with a pair of cozy slippers. This popular offering from Ugg is made from shearling for warmth and comfort, and has a trendy back strap if you or your gift recipient is into logo mania. It’s available in sizes for women, children and babies, as well as 12 colors and patterns for women, including Amphora and a cheetah print Lilac Frost, a soft purple.
Bose created these over-ear headphones with 11 noise cancellation levels, ranging from full noise cancelling to help block out as much outside sound as possible to full transparency, allowing you to hear your surroundings more clearly. You can also turn on conversation mode, which pauses your music, allowing you to engage with those around you. The Bluetooth-enabled headphones also offer up to 20 hours of playtime and are optimized for Google Assistant.
Given Covid, stocking stuffers you gravitate towards might look a little different. While you can find affordable and more traditional gifting options like spa pedicure sets, holiday mugs and Nars tinted lip balms, you can also find a few Covid essentials this year. Consider gifting your loved ones (and yourself) a new face mask (or several) since the CDC still recommends wearing a face mask in public places. Overall, Nordstrom carries more than 660 face masks to consider ordering. Among those are options from Slip, which is known for its silk bedding. The brand created five face masks made of the luxe material. Herschel, maker of backpacks and as of late, winter accessories, created cotton masks in a dark color palette for winter face mask needs.
You can also stock up on face shields from Thirdkindness to complement your growing collection of face masks. There are also UV sanitizers (a Shopping reader favorite) — some are handheld devices, Sonix offers metallic UV sanitizing boxes and Lexon created one that simultaneously sanitizes and charges your smartphone. Motorola created a contactless smart digital thermometer with Bluetooth connectivity to measure forehead temperatures within one second and displays that reading onto your smartphone, via the Hubble Connected app, according to Nordstrom.
Nordstrom carries thousands of products at a variety of price points, although Make Merry features many items that are $100 or less. Whether you’re shopping for stocking stuffers, treating yourself or splurging on an ultraluxe kayak, Burberry jacket or a $2,100 Jura coffee machine, Nordstrom’s got you covered so you can stay within your budget this holiday season.
We rounded up 15 brands favored by readers and what Shopping editors think are worth considering this gift-giving season.
