I Shop for a Living and I Get All the Best Gifts at Nordstrom

Nordstrom has always been a shopping destination for special things so when you’re shopping for someone special it just makes sense to start there. I was a personal shopper at Nordstrom for over 20 years, and I still share shopping recommendations from Nordstrom more than any other retailer. With Mother’s Day around the corner, I partnered with Nordstrom to shop their current selection, so I could share a round-up of all the best gifts at Nordstrom now. My finds are special and unique, just like all the different mommies and mentors you want to spoil.


GIFTS AT NORDSTROM FOR THE SENTIMENTAL


Personalized jewelry is always a favorite for the sentimental. There is something for every budget, from engravable everyday fine jewelry brand Monica Vinader to fun fashion-forward styles from Bauble Bar and Argento Vivo starting at under $50.


Give her a high-quality leather accessory with bespoke personalization from ROYCE. This woman-owned, fourth-generation family business celebrates its artisanal heritage and shares it with you. There are different accessories to match different lifestyles to pick from. Personalize them even more by filling them with gift cards to her favorite places and coupons for backrubs.

CUSTOMIZED CAPSULE WARDROBES = THE BEST GIFTS AT NORDSTROM


The 9-piece casual capsule wardrobe I shared last fall was my most popular capsule wardrobe. If you switch out a few of the key pieces, you can recreate the same 65 cozy outfit combinations that now work for spring. Customize her capsule and give her a new wardrobe that matches her personality and style.

CUSTOMIZE HER CAPSULE TO MATCH HER PERSONALITY


Substitute a Short Sleeve White Tee for a Long Sleeve

Stylist Tip- If you’re short-waisted or busty on top choose a white t-shirt like these that is made with a cotton slub material that is slightly transparent.

Substitute a Jean Shirt for a Flannel

Stylist Tip – A jean shirt is such a versatile piece I’m adding one to my summer capsule wardrobe. Style one over a dress or open over a tee.


Substitute Light Wash Jeans for Dark

Stylist Tip- Try denim on denim. This looks best when the shades are similar. All of the denim pieces in this bottom row are a perfect match in person.


Substitute Lightweight Matching Sets For Warmer Ones

Stylist Tip- Vuori is the softest lightweight set I’ve found that isn’t see-through and they come in a variety of cooler colors like this heather grey.


Substitute New Graphic T-Shirt Designs for Old Ones
