Just when it feels like peak sale season has passed (see ya next year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday!), Nordstrom pulls you back in. Kicking off tonight, December 19, at 9 p.m. PST, the retailer’s half-annual sale is serving up some of the best discounts of the year—up to 60 percent off across fashion, beauty, and home.
We’re talking designer clothes and accessories, chic home upgrades, and a deep roster of beauty favorites for a fraction of their usual price. Whether you’re wrapping up your gifting list or eyeing a well-earned treat (or an entirely new wardrobe) to close out 2025, these deals are genuinely worth your time. Scroll on for my personal shopping writer picks.
THE COOL KICKS
Nike Dunk Low Basketball Sneaker
Nordstrom Half-Year Sale
No matter how old you are, Nike Dunks are a cool-kid classic. Nordstrom’s got tons of colors on sale, but this neutral pair—finished with a barely-there iridescent sheen—is the kind you’ll reach for constantly. They go with everything and somehow still feel special.
THE EVERYDAY BAG
Mansur Gavriel Mini Classic Saddle Crossbody Bag
Nordstrom Half-Year Sale
This is one of those rare, perfect bags that you can truly wear all day, every day, all year round. It’s big enough for daytime use but not *so* big that it looks inappropriate for a night out, and the seasonally-agnostic, not-quite-white gray shade goes with everything. At 30% off, the cost per wear can’t be beat.
THE COZY HOME DECOR
Evangeline Patterned Merino Throws
Nordstrom Half-Year Sale
Certain blankets seem to beckon you to spend the day on the couch with a good book and a cup of tea, and this one does just that. It comes in 10 neutral, cozy colors that will look right at home in a bedroom, living room or (if you’re one of the lucky ones!) reading nook.
THE WEAR-EVERYWHERE SWEATER
Caslon Cashmere Crewneck Sweater
Nordstrom Half-Year Sale
Why spend full price on cashmere when you can get this classic crewneck for under $80? It comes in 11 colors—including classic neutrals (like this perfect heather gray) and fun brights—and at 40% off, it’s as good an excuse as any to refresh your entire sweater collection ahead of 2026.
THE WELLNESS TECH
Pursonic Vibrating Massage Ball
Nordstrom Half-Year Sale
Whether you’re buying a last-minute present or treating yourself for surviving the holiday season, this vibrating massage ball is the gift that keeps on giving. It delivers a deep tissue massage with the click of a button, and has four different modes that can be used on your back, feet, or anywhere else you need a little relief.
THE BEAUTY TOOL
Dyson Special edition Airwrap i.d.<sup>™</sup> multi-styler Straight + Wavy Hair in Amber silk
Snag a special-edition Dyson Airwrap for under $500 so you can make every day of 2026 a good hair day. The set comes with six attachments—a round brush, a smoothing brush, a dryer/flyaway smoother, 2 curling barrels, and a conical barrel—so you can create endless looks without switching tools. It also features Bluetooth connectivity that pairs with a mobile app to customize your styling experience, track your habits, and fine-tune heat and airflow settings for your hair type.
THE LUGGAGE SET
Bugatti Brussels 3 Piece Hardside Luggage Set with Expansion
A three-piece luggage set for under $250 seems almost too good to be true, especially considering this one typically retails for over $1,000. With 4.5 stars, you can rest assured that the trio—which includes a carry on plus medium- and large-sized checked bags—is the real (and worth it) deal. Add it to your cart now, and use the $800 you saved to start planning the next vacation you’ll take them on.
THE COLD-WEATHER UPGRADE
Levi's Quilted Fleece Long Teddy Coat
Upgrade your gear game this winter with this teddy parka, which is the ultimate in fashion-meets-function. It’s got all the warmth you want for inclement weather, and quilted fleece fabric adds an element of cozy cool. It comes in four neutral colors—black, camel, taupe, and navy—one of which you can definitely justify no matter how many puffers you’ve already got in your collection (especially at this price!).
