Best Finds Seen on TODAY

Hanukkah is well underway and the countdown to Christmas is on, but in the midst of this holiday madness, we’ve found ourselves making one more gift guide to round out the season. There’s still plenty of time to pick out fashion, beauty and home presents from Nordstrom — in fact, shoppers have until Dec. 18 at 11:59 p.m. PST to score free delivery on eligible items by Christmas! So, for our final What to Shop This Week series of the year, Shop TODAY contributor Chassie Post stopped by Studio 1A to share a few last-minute favorites for everyone on your list.

Giving the gift of comfort is priceless, and Post found several presents that overdeliver on the cozy front. There are relaxed fleece quarter-zips for both men and women, a cloud-like bathrobe from BareFoot Dreams and a scalloped scarf from Ugg (that literally has “fluff” in the name). Want to treat them to an at-home spa night? Bundle up a few winter skin care essentials — from barrier-supporting moisturizers to lip-protecting balms — in a brand-new cosmetic bag or dopp kit. And finally, the last thing this snuggly mix was missing was an ultra-plush blanket, and we’re convinced that Post uncovered the softest throw in store.

These under-$100 finds are sure to go fast! But, if you’re not ready to check out just yet, the retailer is offering in-store pickup through Dec. 24 at noon local time.
