My 58-Year-Old Mom Said These Are the Best Gifts at Nordstrom—I Love Them All
When I initially asked my mom to help me with this story, she immediately insisted that she's terrible at giving gifts. Spoiler alert: That's not true. It doesn't matter if it's for herself or others, she happens to be an excellent shopper. Whether she was being bashful or trying to get out of a few hours' work, we'll never know, but as soon as I started probing her for specific ideas, the suggestions came pouring in and the rest is history.
So, today you get to enjoy the fruits of her labor—plus a little of mine. From home finds to loungewear to the best accessories for giving, below you'll find 34 next-level holiday gifts we think your friends, relatives, colleagues, or anyone else would be more-than-happy to receive. And did I mention they're all from Nordstrom? With that, just keep scrolling to get shopping.
Next, I'm a picky fashion editor and would love any of these 68 holiday gifts.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
