Our favorite deals from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
It’s the department store’s biggest sale of the year.
This option made our list of the best hair dryers of 2024, but the option available during Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale comes with more attachments—including a diffuser, smoothing comb, drying concentrator and styling concentrator. According to the brand, the hairdryer has five heat and three-speed settings, which automatically adjust to suit your hair’s needs.
David Jones-Muñoz, a stylist and owner of Salon Dumbo in Brooklyn, says he keeps this flat iron handy and loves that it has a small curve to help create a beachy wave. Although it does not have a digital display, it has smart technology that helps the straightener maintain a preset temperature as you style, according to Ghd.
This sunscreen set is from Supergoop, a brand featured in our list of the best SPFs of 2024. The set, which is exclusive to the Anniversary Sale, comes with the brand’s Unseen Sunscreen Stick, which has an SPF 40 and glides on clear. According to the brand, it reduces the appearance of oil. It also includes the Unseen Sunscreen, which also has an SPF 40, is scent-free and can double-duty as a primer before you put on your makeup.
Both experts and one of NBC Select’s editors made this a top pick in our list of the best cleansing balms. “My makeup comes off instantly and I love that a little goes a long way,” says NBC Select associate reporter Bianca Alvarez who uses this formula when she wears makeup. During the Anniversary Sale, Nordstrom offers this jumbo cleanser, which includes 7.5 ounces of product.
If you’re looking for a pair of comfy weekend pants, consider these joggers from Zella. They’re made from a moisture-wicking fabric with plenty of stretch to move with you, while the slim fit keeps them from looking sloppy. They have an elastic waistband with a drawstring, are machine washable and come in sizes XXS through XXL.
This bra has a 4.5-star average rating from over 1,300 reviews on Nordstrom and is available in sizes 32B through 38DDD. The smooth, molded cups create a seamless look when worn underneath t-shirts and other thin materials, according to the brand.
Wit & Wisdom is a denim brand sold exclusively at Nordstrom. These bootcut jeans from the brand have a bit of compression in the tummy and butt to smooth and lift. The jeans are made from stretch denim, so they don’t feel constrictive and they have a high-rise waistband, so you stay covered if you bend over.
These are my go-to running socks. They stay put, don’t slip down as a run and have slight compression in the arch area for support. They also have slight cushioning in the sole for comfort. This set of six will cover you for nearly a week and come in a mix of purples and light gray shades. Also nice: Bombas donates a pair of socks to someone in need for every pair they sell.
This bag, included in our NBC Select Travel Awards, comes with a laptop carrier, an exterior phone pocket, interior side pockets, a key leash and an attached zip-top pouch, a shoe bag and a removable shoulder strap. But it’s the shape and structure of this bag that really made it a winner. “It has shape, so it stays open while I’m packing and never flops over, yet it’s flexible and soft so that I can overstuff it without any issues,” says associate updates editor Zoe Malin. The bag is also expandable. “You can unsnap the sides of the bag to make it bigger, which is such a great option,” says Malin. “I expand it for longer trips, but leave it snapped for overnight trips when I don’t need a ton of space.”
In our story on the best walking shoes, experts selected these shoes for their ability to absorb impact and provide a cushioned landing, making them great options for those who like to walk at brisk pace or alternate with running. They also have a molded heel cup that stabilizes feet and come with elastic laces so there’s no need to tie them. These sneakers come in four colors and are available in sizes 5 through 11.
Experts told us that Birkenstocks are among the most comfortable summer sandals thanks to their arch support and molded footbeds. These sandals, which come in sizes 5 through 10.5, have two adjustable leather straps with big, decorative gold buckles. According to the brand, they are burnt orange and have a cork footbed that provides shock absorption as you walk.
Ugg makes some of our favorite slippers; this pair is cozy and comfortable. The slide-style slippers have a one inch platform and genuine shearling and wool blend upper. The soles are rubber with deep treads, so they can be worn outside to take out the trash or grab the mail.
In our guide to sneakers for wide feet, experts told us Hokas are particularly spacious. This style has cushioned insoles, a jacquard mesh upper that is breathable and foam soles that absorb impact as you run, according to the brand. The shoes, which have a 4.5-star average rating from 900 reviews on Amazon, come in sizes 7.5 through 11 and are available in two colors.
Slip’s silk pillowcase won one a 2023 Wellness awards and made our list of best silk pillowcases. Made of mulberry silk, sleeping on these can reduce frizz and the appearance of aging, according to the brand. “I’ve had this pillowcase for years and it’s still in great condition,” says NBC Select SEO editor Nikki Brown. “I can’t sleep with a headwrap or bonnet because I’m a hot sleeper so silk pillowcases are a must for keeping my curls intact.” This set, which is exclusive for the Anniversary Sale, comes with two white king-size pillowcases.
Malin says Our Place makes some of her favorite kitchen accessories — including their popular Always Pan 2.0 and Perfect Power Pot. She says she uses the brand’s Wonder Oven more than her actual oven. This compact countertop oven can air fry, bake, roast, toast, rehat and broil. According to the brand, it preheats and cooks faster than traditional ovens and is spacious enough to cook a 4.5-pound chicken.
While this brand may be best known for its dutch ovens, its other cast iron dishes are also worth consideration. This 7.5-quart pot is intended for braising, shallow frying, steaming or serving. It’s dishwasher-safe, has ergonomic knobs and handles and is oven safe up to 500 degrees.
Hydro Flask is a popular water bottle brand that we’ve featured often — two of its water bottles are even on our list of best water reusable bottles, This style has a wide mouth for easy refilling and a flexible strap. It holds 32 ounces of water, is free of BPAs and is dishwasher safe. It can keep liquids hot for up to six hours and cold for up to 24 hours, according to the brand.
