We could wax poetic about our love for Nordstrom any time of year, but our warm and fuzzy feelings for the retailer tend to intensify around the holidays. Nordstrom’s gift selection is to-die-for and includes so much more than just cute fall dresses for women and stylish items for men. There are handy home goods, games and toys (for kids and adults) that you can’t find anywhere else, cute DIY projects—the list goes on and on.

Even better, to help you weed through Nordstrom’s extensive gift selection, we picked out 39 of the absolute best presents to add to cart now to be delivered before Christmas.

How Does Nordstrom Wrap Gifts?

A major perk to buying your gifts at Nordstrom this year is the beautiful gift wrap. If you’re shopping online, you can add a free gift message or purchase a DIY gift box kit for $5. In-store buyers can choose from a selection of printed paper and ribbons and pay $5 to have it wrapped (or just have it packaged in Nordstrom’s signature gift box for free). If you bought something somewhere else and still want to take advantage of the service, non-Nordstrom items can be wrapped for $15.
