15 Under-$100 Holiday Gifts To Buy At Nordstrom Rack

Not to stress anyone out, but holiday shopping season is officially here — that is, if you’re the non-procrastinator crossing names off the gift list at a reasonable and (at the moment) unhurried pace. The reward for securing your holiday gifts ahead of time? Massive savings, of course. That’s because when you’re still in perusal mode, there’s no need to impulsively buy things that are way out of your budget. For those of us who have been in the know for quite some time now, Nordstrom Rack is absolutely one of those holiday gifting destinations that always delivers super-thoughtful, super-affordable gems.

You really don’t need to look hard, either — the options are abundant, many of which are under $100, under $25, and even under $10. It’s all part of the retailer’s More Reasons to Rack initiative, which is the brand’s commitment to expanding price and product offerings across all categories. Essentially, it means you’re able to truly maximize your dollars when it comes to stocking up on giftables at Nordstrom Rack.

In an effort to whet your appetite as we barrel through to the Thanksgiving Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend shopping extravaganza — for Nordstrom Rack, it’s known as Rack Friday Clearance — we’ve gone ahead and hand-selected 15 under-$100 items that this shopping editor is personally eyeing this holiday. (TL;DR: Someone please buy these for me.) And at such low price points, rest assured you’re already getting the best deal you possibly can — no haggling or googling promo codes necessary.

October’s 29 Best-Selling Products Are Surprisingly Useful

If you were along for the e-commerce ride in October, you witnessed three major sale events appear out of thin air: Amazon's Early Access Sale, Target's Early Black Friday Sale, and Wayfair's Way Day 2.0. But according to our anonymous shopping data, when readers weren't hunting down limited-time discounts these past 30 days, they scored viral Anthropologie holiday dresses, orgasmic vibrators, rich-girl perfumes, and...Covid antigen tests?

Let's take a walk through memory lane with the top-bought 29 products on Refinery29 in October. Based on our readers' shopping interests, this seemingly spooky month was actually wholesome, cozy, and practical (re: the aforementioned at-home Covid tests). Earring back replacements piqued interest, wool socks raised eyebrows, and stick vacuums pulled focus. The most frivolous item on this list might be the mini alcohol advent calendar — and even then, we think that's a pretty practical purchase. Despite its utilitarian nature, this list is nowhere near boring. Check out 29 useful (at least by Refinery29 shopping team standards) reader favorites, ahead.
