Nordstrom Does It Again—30 Under-$350 Holiday Gifts I'm Ready to Wrap

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.

No shade to socks, ties, and gift cards, but I'm getting more creative with holiday gifting this year. I'm on the hunt for items that are more along the lines of luxury lipstick cases, fringe scarves, and French hairpins. Holiday shopping has a tendency to feel a bit redundant, and many gift guides offer similar options. That's why I sprint to Nordstrom during the holiday season. Its curation of brands and gift ideas makes shopping for all my friends and family quick, easy, but still thoughtful. I'd love to gift my mom the Chan Luu pajamas below. And I'd like to see my dad in the Carhartt jacket. And the BaubleBar bag charm bead kit is such a fun activity that my nieces and I can do together. But I'll stop here, before I reveal all my present ideas. You'll find these items and 27 more cool options below.

Gender Inclusive Samba OG Sneaker

Gifting a trending shoe style is always a good idea.

Stoneware Heart Spoon Rest

A little something for the chef.

Holiday candles that don't scream "holiday," if you know what I mean.

The gift of fun—that's what this is.

Chan Luu

Oversize Shirt & Pants Cotton Pajamas

Chan Luu is one of the coolest brands on the market right now. These pajamas are the perfect introduction.

A compact mirror that looks good on a vanity but can also fit in a purse.

For the person who just needs to relax.

Madewell

The Mylie Large Shoulder Bag

Don't sleep on Madewell's bag options.

Polo Ralph Lauren

Knit Tweed Polo Beanie

Normally I would stray from logos, but this one just feels so classic.

Technically, this is a men's shoe, but like this new style for everyone.
