I’m a shopping writer, but I somehow still wait until the last minute tobuy gifts for my loved ones.

Thankfully, I’m certain Nordstrom can save me some gift-related tears. I just spent hours combing through itsBlack Friday dealsand am here to report: It’sflush with over 6,000 of themfrom Steve Madden, Calvin Klein, BaubleBar, and more brands starting at $6.

Plus, I’ve written aboutthe store’s dealsover a dozen times (andonce a month!), andI’ve personally been shopping there for well over a decade. TL;DR: I know a good Nordstrom deal when I see one.

For stocking stuffers and smaller gifts under $50, I’m looking at thisgold ringfrom the brand thatJennifer AnistonandJulia Robertshave both worn, along withceleb-inspired cardigansfor the colder cities I’m visiting. While I’m not personally hosting, I know a few who would leap at a discountedDutch oven from Le Creuset. Spanx and Free People are also brands I’ve scouted on celebrities, which both have deals on fall and winter clothing.

Best Celebrity-Inspired Nordstrom Black Friday Deals

While I found my fill of celebrity-inspired styles likesweater dresses,corduroy pants,white sneakers, andwarm turtlenecks, I also plucked out a few things from brands stars really wear.Kristen Bell,Jennifer Garner, andOprahare all fans ofSpanx clothing,and BaubleBar celebrity sightings are also constantly bubbling up.

Treasure & Bond Clean Oversize Cardigan

Nordstrom

$80$48 at Nordstrom

Between a European vacation, manywashes, and all the times I’ve worn my cardigan over the last year, I can argue that another, like this one, wouldn’t go unworn. Also, Reese Witherspoon and Martha Stewart arestill wearing them. They’re such hero pieces that layer well, supply warmth, and bode well with other styles.

BaubleBar Juno Rose Quartz Linear Drop Earrings

$48$31 at Nordstrom

These earrings are made to matchKatie Holmes’ rose quartz necklace, and they’re a cheery change-up from pearls or hoops.

Steve Madden Duo Wide-Leg Cargo Pants

$119$54 at Nordstrom

Wide-leg silhouettescan be flattering, though they don’t always have pockets. This pair, which takes a cue from pantsOprah and Gwyneth Paltrow have worn, has more than enough and is a style that’s not just jeans or slacks.

MIA Kerri Pointed-Toe Flat

$50$30 at Nordstrom

Ballet flats? My mom, sister, best friend, and I are all wearing them. AndJennifer Lopezis on board with the trend, too.

T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer

$200$140 at Nordstrom

Styling my new bangs has been a learning curve, and a higher-quality blow dryer might be what’s missing. I’ve tried T3’s curling iron, which isa PEOPLE Tested winner, and Zendaya has had herhair done with rollers from the brand.

Best Nordstrom Black Friday Holiday Home Essentials Deals

To make things as cozy as can be, decorate the house withBalsam Hill garlands, plushCalvin Klein blankets, and fresh towels for the guests — three of the top home buys on my wish list.

Others, like Dutch ovens and serving bowls, are from celebrity-used brands like Le Creuset and Our Place. I even found a majorly discounted17-piece cookware setthat I’d nab for the new homeowners in my life.

Le Creuset Signature 3.5-Quart Round Enamel Cast Iron French/Dutch Oven

$350$200 at Nordstrom

Martha Stewart ownsmany Dutch ovens“because they’re really, really great to prepare soup, stew, sauce, any of those things.” While hers may not be from Le Creuset, the oneSarah Jessica Parker owns is. This one has a lid knob that remains cool even after sitting in the oven.

Balsam Hill Vermont White Spruce Pre-Lit Garland

$219$80 at Nordstrom

Even The Pioneer Woman’s Ree Drummonddecorates her home for the holidayswith Balsam Hill garlands similar to this one.

Our Place Cast Iron Always Pan Set

$155$95 at Nordstrom

Pots and pans can cause a lot of clutter in the kitchen. Downsize to a single set that, among other functions, fries, sautés, and broils.Mindy Kaling cooks with one, along withCameron Diaz and Selena Gomez.

Best Nordstrom Black Friday Stocking Stuffers Deals

BaubleBar jewelry, Hydro Flask water bottles, and makeup sets from Bobbi Brown and MAC Cosmetics would squeeze seamlessly into a stocking. I could use some cozyBarefoot Dreams socks, so here’s hoping for those, too. My other favorites below start at $6 and go for up to $63.

Bobbi Brown Extra Plump Hydrating Lip Oil Duo

$45$36 at Nordstrom

Chapped lips are very common in the fall or winter, so this hydrating formula with hyaluronic acid is a fail-safe gift. Plus, the packaging for gift sets looks prettier than it does when the products are purchased individually.

BaubleBar Annie Stack Ring

$34$24 at Nordstrom

I’ve become well acquainted with BaubleBar because I’ve covered Brittany Mahomes, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and morestars wearing the brand. I’ve since picked up a few other rings from the brand, but this is the one I want this year.

Benefit Cosmetics Big Time Brow Minis Set

$22$17 at Nordstrom

Best Under-$50 Nordstrom Black Friday Deals

Many of the stocking stuffers were under $50, but there are too many other irresistible steals that would be better under the tree. Spanx shirts and comfy loafers fall in the clothing category, but daily planners and travel mirrors are more versatile picks. There’s also acard casethat would make a great gift for men and an adorableDisney stuffed animalfor children.

Voluspa Foraged Wildberry Large Jar Candle

$34$26 at Nordstrom

An apple a day keeps the doctors away, while a berry candle will keep people coming to your house. “[It] reminds me of acai or pomegranate but with a hint of fall spice,” wrote one shopper.

Spanx Rib Polo

$68$41 at Nordstrom

This Spanx shirt reminds me of the Gucci dressJulia Roberts woreto Wimbledon — it also had a polo collar and looks nicely tailored for more polish.

Papier Wonder Daily Planner

$30$21 at Nordstrom

My past three planners have all been from Papier. I personally prefer the dated ones, but this fill-as-you-go option is great for those who like to have more flexibility with when and how to use it.

Right now is also a good time to plan for winter fashion. I made a comprehensive list with all different styles, including puffer jackets, tall boots, Free People sweaters, cashmere scarves and more from $8.

Zella Ultra-Cozy Pullover Hoodie

$69$48 at Nordstrom

I work from home, so I live in loungewear. But this would be a good pick if you prefer a nice plush sweatshirt over a stiff, starchy shirt. The cotton-blend hoodie comes in nine colors, though purple is the only one on sale.

Dr. Scholl’s Maryland Wedge Zip Bootie

$100$60 at Nordstrom

Shoes can’t fit in a stocking, but they’re still a gift I personally love receiving. I picked out this pair from Dr. Scholl’s because they have a little bit of brown and black, which I just think looks really cool.

Nordstrom Cashmere Scarf

$155$100 at Nordstrom

I no longer buy scarves for myself since I live in the desert, but I know my mom, who experiences snow where she lives, would be thrilled to open up some cashmere on Christmas morning. And since it has a plain design, I may even pick up a few for the men in my life, too.
