You know the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"? This has become my motto when it comes to holiday gift shopping. Honestly, despite all the gift guides promising the most groundbreaking, unique holiday gifts, all I really want are the classics: pajamas, slippers, perfumes, luggage, you name it. These standard holiday gifts are hits for one simple reason—they're luxurious necessities that people prefer to be gifted than purchase themselves. Take Uggs, for example. No matter what time of year I realize that my Ugg slippers need replacing, I will always wait until December to ask for a new pair.
If you're also looking for tried-and-true holiday gifts this year, take a scroll through the Nordstrom picks below. Curating this gift guide brought back all the nostalgia of shopping in this store as a kid, and I have no doubt that gifting one (or more!) of the items below will do the same for your loved ones.
