The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is our favorite time of year to update our wardrobes with fall’s top trends, snag exclusive beauty deals, and save on items for the home. Now that we’ve had the chance to stock up on everything on our list—including bedding, kitchenware, bath, and home decor—it’s time to share the love and grab some goods we can give as holiday gifts.

Yes, we know it’s still summer and you probably haven’t even started thinking about picking out presents. That’s why we’ve helped you out by rounding up some gift inspiration (there’s nothing wrong with buying a holiday gift in advance!) for all the special people in your life. Be sure to snag these picks now, because items sell out fast and the sale only lasts through Aug. 5. And if you need to return a gift? Not a problem—Nordstrom has a very lenient policy, so you won’t have any hassle getting a refund, as long as you hold on to your receipt.
