The 38 Best Nordstrom Gifts of 2023

Our lips go through a lot, especially in the wintertime. Whether you're shopping for yourself or others, you definitely deserve to give your lips some extra love. Dr. Dennis Gross makes some of our favorite skin-care devices — after all, the SpectraLite FaceWare Pro just won the 2023 Best of Beauty Award for Best LED Mask — so we're stoked for the DRx SpectraLite LipWare Pro.

Held in place by a flexible, easy-to-wash silicone mouthpiece, this compact device is powered by 56 red LED lights (that utilize multiple wavelengths) that target the delicate lip area to boost collagen, firm skin, and smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles. All it takes is three minutes per session.

Hand soap might not be the first thing that comes to mind when gift shopping, but oh is it a goodie. Your bestie, sister, and mom will definitely appreciate this trio of elevated essentials from Aesop. The Tuneful Textures Hand Care Trio includes the Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash and Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm, which gently cleanses and moisturizes hands with an aromatherapeutic touch. For on-the-go use when they're not near running water and soap, the Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash easily fits in any purse or tote.

This isn't your ordinary kitchen device. Our Place may have gone viral for its Always Pan (also a great gift, as we can attest) but the Wonder Oven is truly a sight to behold. This compact oven can air-fry, bake, roast, toast, reheat, and broil anything you desire, thanks to its steam-infusion technology. Even more impressive? It apparently preheats 75% faster and cooks up to 30% faster than traditional ovens. Gordon Ramsey is shaking. Choose from four cute colorways: Charcoal, Steam, Blue Salt, and Spice (pictured).

If your friends are tuned into the beauty world (which, of course, they are, if you're reading this story), they know that Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit palettes are a makeup lover's dream. These six light-diffusing powders, blushes, and bronzer lend any person an otherworldly glow, whether they're worn alone or layered together. This year's limited-edition assortments are adorned with a jellyfish or a pair of leopards, courtesy of artist Katie Scott.

We love a skin-care present that practically creates a routine for you, and this La Mer Rejuvenating Rituals Set includes four full-size products that'll bring life back into wind-chapped cheeks. Start with the fast-absorbing, über-hydrating Treatment Lotion, applying to your whole face, before going in with the smoothing and protecting Regenerating Serum (whose results you’ll start seeing in four weeks). Move onto the Eye Concentrate to lighten those stubborn lines and sleepy circles, and then top the whole thing off with Crème de La Mer (one of our favorite luxury moisturizers) to lock in all of that delicious moisture. We came for the value and stayed for the softness.

We wish we were wrapped up in this so badly it’s hard to even write about. But, for you? Anything. Ugg has seriously stepped up its home goods game in the past few years, and we’re here for it. Consider this super-soft Euphoria Throw Blanket their new winter staple. Made with buttery, thick, fur-like fabric, it’s ideal for cocooning oneself in while rewatching a favorite holiday flick. For bonus points, suggest that your giftee pair the blanket with the UGG Minis you got them last year and accentuate the advice with a wink.

Meet The Outset's Purifying Blue Clay Mask, a 2023 Best of Beauty winner that is not only stunning in color (the greyish-blue hue is so fun to apply) but also, effective. This treatment only takes 10 minutes per sesh and contains kaolin clay, charcoal, and salicylic acid to help clear out pores and gunk over time.

Shopping for bestie? Worried that a lip gloss set doesn’t get the “I’m-obsessed-with-you” message across? Opt for the Little Words Project Ride or Die Stretch Bracelet to eliminate all confusion. The square letters sit sweetly among a string of silver beads and serve as an all-day reminder of you and your giftee’s friendship. We also love that the Little Words Project bracelet comes with a code to register your bracelet on the brand’s app or website, which adds you to the Nice Girl Gang, a community of women dedicated to supporting one another through kind words and actions. (We're not crying, you're crying.)

This kinda-creamy-kinda-powdery Eyepods Eyeshadow Trio from Westman Atelier is thoughtfully designed for the makeup buff on your list who likes experimenting with new looks. Each trio has a core, highlight, and accent color to build up and brighten your lids (you, artist, you). Or, pick whichever shadow strikes your fancy and paint it on with a gentle hand for a sheer look.

For peak pigmentation, Westman Atelier suggests lightly pressing a finger or brush tip into the shadow’s heart-shaped seal to loosen the powder before applying. The shadow’s uniquely textured formula makes for easy, controlled application with zero fallout, and the magnetic cases stick together for breezy organizing. Happy blending!

These silk pajamas from Lunya are a year-round favorite, but few holiday gifts sleigh (get it?) harder than a pair of PJs. But this isn't any old pair of pajamas. The 100% silk situation is thermoregulating, meaning they keep you cool all night long. But, more importantly, they’re just so freaking elegant. The pearly shell buttons are a lovely detail, and the menswear-inspired silhouette makes for a stylish transition from PJ party photoshoot to bonafide beauty rest.

This one’s for the person in your life who spends the whole night smoothing out their shirt. Basically, Nori (which we may or may not have just figured out is “iron” spelled backward) is revolutionizing how we unwrinkle. The handheld iron/steamer combo tool works fast, with two heated plates that tackle creases on both sides of a garment at once, and, weighing in at less than 1.5 pounds, it rocks for travel.

This essential oil diffuser from Vitruvi is an Allure editor household staple. Not only does this diffuser have the capacity to scent rooms up to 500 square feet, it does so safely and beautifully. The device shuts off automatically when your chosen time setting is done, or it runs out of water. The ceramic cover also makes it look like a, dare we say, expensive, piece of tabletop decor. We love it in violet but go for whatever suits your space best. So, in through your nose, out through your mouth, in through your nose, out through your…sorry, we can’t focus. It smells too good in here.

Just like all the NuFace devices, the Mini+ works with microcurrent technology to give a temporary lift to the brows, cheeks, and jawline. All your lucky giftee needs to do is apply the leave-on gel primer (that comes with the Starter Kit) onto clean skin and apply gentle pressure while gliding the device over their face in upward and outward motions. Over time, it will help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, improve facial contours, and help brighten skin tone.

Give the gift of better sleep with Nodpod's Weighted Sleep Mask. Billed essentially as a weighted blanket for your eyes, it'll apply a gentle amount of pressure to the eye area that'll help block out light, soothe headaches, and relieve any conditions that may be hindering sleep (e.g. racing thoughts). Oh, and because it has hollow ends on each side of the four weighted pads, you aren't dooming your giftee to snoozing on their back — they can comfortably side-sleep with this sleep mask.

It can take a lifetime to truly know someone’s fragrance taste, so let’s lower the stakes, okay? With this Byredo La Selection Nomad trio of minis, your giftee can suss out their fave — and it was very sweet of you to provide some direction. In the box, you’ll find a travel-size vial of Bal D’afrique with notes of bergamot and violet. Move your nose along to Blanche, which is inspired by the scent of fresh laundry and the intimacy of human touch, and finally, Gypsy Water, which is reminiscent of fresh soil and peppery lemon.

Have a frequent-traveling beauty lover on your list? They'll more than appreciate this luxurious flatiron gift set from Dyson. The Corrale Straightener Gift Set features the popular cordless hair tool, which swaps out conventional titanium or ceramic plates for flexible copper ones to promote even heat distribution and minimal hair damage in the process. This kit also comes with a standing charging dock that frees up space while it's juicing up, as well as a matching travel pouch for safekeeping.

These Skims Fits Everybody Boyshorts are gloriously giftable as a stocking stuffer or a standalone goodie. The full-coverage shorts come in warm, seasonal earth tones and feel like cookie butter on your bod. They’re breathable and versatile, and we highly recommend wearing them under your favorite silk PJs.

The MAC At First Lipglass Set comes with two glosses: one in light pink, and another in a bronzey neutral. They can swipe the gloss atop their favorite lipstick to create a layered look or rock the stuff all by itself. We love that this gloss doesn’t sacrifice softness for shine, as the jojoba-infused formula makes it a favorite for our winter-worn lips.

A serum should do more than just decorate your sink or feel like a fancy finishing touch to your skincare routine. Enter Sunday Riley, who puts balanced, medicated formula to work to make a real difference on your skin. The U.F.O. Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil is formulated with 1.5% salicylic acid, tea tree oil, black cumin seed, hexylresorcinol, and licorice to soften discoloration.

Salicylic acid can be drying, but the serum’s milk thistle and cucumber seed oil supply extra moisture. Add a few drops to clean skin a few times a week, and watch this bright green oil do its thing. The color may give you an extra-terrestrial vibe, but we like to think of it as more of an X-mas tree situation.

It’s no secret that we love anything by Slip, be it the pure silk scrunchies that have a permanent spot on our wrists, the pure silk, everything-purpose pillowcase (anti-aging, anti-bedhead, anti-sleep crease), or this gift set which has both. The silk fibers are way less absorbent than regular fabric which ensures skincare products stay on your face rather than trapped inside your pillow. The scrunchies are a bonus, working their magic to reduce ridges caused by other, typically tight hair ties.

Speaking of cozy…this Acne Studios scarf. This gem, made with an alpaca, wool, and mohair blend, is endlessly wearable and totally chic. Your giftee will love the flecks of blue peppered into that deep, wintery aubergine and the cute twisted fringe trim that dangles oh-so-sweetly. Consider pairing the scarf with a vintage shearling jacket and your favorite SPF (yes, you still need sunscreen in the winter).

We’re obsessed with this delightfully “extra” Crystal Embellished Insulated Water Bottle from Collina Strada. The crystal-caked steel bottle is just so much fun and it reduces environmental impact. It’s the perfect gift for a bestie who doesn’t go anywhere without their water bottle, or who thinks anything without rhinestones is passé.

This one’s for the jet-setting giftee who just admitted they pack their precious jewels in their toiletry bag. No shame, we get it, but be the change you want to see and treat them to this gorgeous, genuine leather travel jewelry box from Bey-Berk. It's sturdy, elegant, has plenty of storage space, and, most importantly, keeps bestie's bling safe and out of their toothbrush bristles. Plus, its velour lining is scratch-resistant and gentle on delicate chains.

When your giftee returns from their trip, this box can be transferred right onto their vanity since it's definitely attractive enough for a life outside a carry-on.

When dry skin comes calling, the Best of Beauty-winning True Botanicals Pure Radiance Sugar Scrub has the answer. In addition to the skin-sloughing sugar at its base, this pampering present uses kaolin clay to further clear away dead skin. You’ll also find a blend of moisturizing jojoba and camellia oleifera seed oils to calm inflammation.

The buttery feel of this Hermès Rose Hermès Silky Blush Powder is just as luxurious as the compact itself. Your beauty lover can use any of the nine shades available to dial up the flush on their cheeks, depending on how much of the airy pigment they want to layer on. When the pan is finished, they can even pop it out and replace it with a fresh refill.

The bright yellow hue of the Drybar The Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush may draw you in — but trust that this dryer is more than just a cute product to display on a dresser. If your mom or sister has habitually struggled with leaving the house on time due to a not-so-quick hair routine, this will be their saving grace. It’ll quickly smooth and blow hair out to a salon-like finish, without the need to follow up with a whole straightening and curling routine. Unless, of course, they don’t mind being last to the dinner reservation.

Parachute's Cloud Cotton Robe is Oeko-Tex certified, which means it wasn't made with harmful chemicals or irritating synthetic materials. While it does surpass a hundred buckaroos, this high-quality, absorbent pick is a luxurious spin on a classic bathrobe that's well worth its price. Not to mention, it comes in three core shades.

Introduce someone on your list to the Latina-founded and plant-driven brand Vamigas, which is on a mission to democratize skincare for all. It sources all of its ingredients from Latin American countries and even pulled the star ingredient from its Rosa Mosqueta Serum (rosa mosqueta oil) straight from a Chilean rosebush. The serum hydrates and brightens skin with vitamins A and C, alongside nourishing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

This Mugler Alien Goddess Eau de Parfum Set is holiday-ready. Its warm vanilla-y base screams cozy, while notes of jasmine and bergamot would perk anyone up for party guests. The set includes a full-size bottle to keep at home and a travel size in case your giftee gets hooked (spoiler: they absolutely will). The whole thing comes packaged up in a pretty periwinkle box that you’ll probably find an excuse to keep for yourself.

Few hair tools are as giftable as the best-in-class Dyson Airwrap. With low heat and high-precision, this multifaceted machine can curl, smooth, and straighten, depending on which attachment gets popped on.

This three-piece bundle of bestsellers from Oribe is the perfect prezzie for a loved one whose New Year's resolution is healthier hair. The box comes with travel sizes of the Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo, Gold Lust Repair & Restore Conditioner, and Dry Texturizing Spray.

Winter radiance belongs to your bestie with this set from Augustinus Bader, featuring three formulas designed to hydrate, smooth, and brighten skin. In the kit, you'll find eye patches, a cream, and a cleansing gel.

The giftee getting this Soothing Moisture Set by La Mer may just be the luckiest gal at White Elephant. This sweet blue zip-top cosmetic bag boasts the barrier-protecting Concentrate Serum and the super-rich Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream.

Good things come in red boxes, and the Westman Atelier Clean Glow Trio is no exception. Your loved one is in for a treat with this trio of contour, highlight, and blush sticks, pigmented and ready to build and blend on the go.

The Lancôme Holiday Beauty Box is chock full of gift-ready goodies at an unreal discount. Wrap and pass this 10-piece set to your Lancôme loving mama, and let her revel in favorites, new and old, including Lash Idôle Mascara and Advanced Génifique Eye Cream.

If you keep tabs on beauty tech trends, you've probably been eyeing the NuFace Trinity+ Smart Advanced Facial Toning Routine Set and can think of a special person in your life who would absolutely die to receive this microcurrent skin-care regimen. The app-compatible tool tones facial muscles and smoothes fine lines and wrinkles (in addition to many other benefits).
