11 Expensive Looking Gifts From Nordstrom That Are Actually Under $100

A great big scarf that you can wrap around any outfit is a key winter staple. This season, we're looking for one in a traditionally Spring color scheme to help brighten up our more monotone cold weather uniform. This Pastel Plaid Scarf ($29) is a definite mood booster and has the perfect amount of cozy.

Just look towards your favorite Insta-influencers for proof that big, statement necklaces, like the Lydia Statement Necklace ($48), are still a "thing." The key to rocking this trend: the sparklier, more candy-like, the better.

Safety first, right? For that coworker that constantly drops her phone while walking to grab lunch, this shiny, geo-inspired Recover Agate iPhone Plus Case ($20) is a useful (and beautiful) holiday gift.

Don't add yet another boring beanie to your holiday shopping list. Opt for a gift with a bit more personality, like this Wool Beret ($26), which has an added edge thanks to the polished metal grommets on its brim. The balance of cutesy French girl and rockstar badass is undeniably chic.

This season, give the gift of relaxation. And no, we're not talking about yet another spa gift certificate (although, um, we'll take that, too!). We're loving this therapeutic Himalayan Crystal Salt Pyramid Lamp ($70). The lamp gives off a pinkish glow that helps to promote a sense of calm and wellness. Who doesn't want that?

So your friend is "blind" for Gucci. Can you blame them? The bags! The sweaters! The cats! But, just in case you're saving that holiday bonus check to spend on yourself, we've found you a Alessandro Michele-approved gift that will make the Gucci obsessed thankful: the Gucci Bloom Perfume ($74).

Celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann counts actresses including Dakota Johnson, Karlie Kloss, and Lupita Nyong'o as clients. Give your friend the star treatment by gifting this Bed of Roses Set ($36), curated by Lippmann. The six-piece nail polish set features a variety of neutral shades, ranging from a light beige to a deep plum.

I say winter you say . . . COZY! Winter is about all-things cozy, comfortable, and soft. A good slipper can become a new best friend during the coldest nights of the year. Think: monogrammed pajamas, big, faux-fur blanket, and some warm footwear. Find a pair with pizzazz, like these Pretty Pouf Slippers ($72), which come in seven colors, all with the most delightful decorative pouf.

Chain mail detailing was a huge trend on the Fall/Winter 2019 runways. We loved seeing it at high-fashion shows like Versace (I mean, Donatella basically invented wearing chain mail, am I right?) and couldn't wait to figure out how to translate the runway trend to our real lives. These Chain Mail Triangle Earrings ($20) are the perfect gift for any fashion lover on your gift list.

Gucci, Chloe, Saint Laurent: all luxury brands that make heart-shaped sunglasses over $350 that we've been drooling over. Thankfully, fast fashion has digested the trend and now, there are tons of high quality, affordable options. Our favorites? These metal Heart-Shaped 58mm Sunglasses ($14) from Nordstrom. The rose colored lenses and gold hardware make them elevated and a definite must have.

Here's an idea: gift something that, ultimately, will be advantageous to you, too. Exhibit A: this ridiculously comfortable Faux Fur Throw ($98). The dual-sided blanket (one side faux fur and one side flannel) is the perfect present for the homebody in your life, and you'll be thankful you bought it the next time you're over to watch The Bachelor.
