I'm a Home-Decor Writer — These Are the Nordstrom New Arrivals I'm Eying For My Space

Our friends got us a mini fridge for the holidays last year, and it's proven to be the perfect place for cans of seltzer and my trusty jade roller. Now that I have my own office, I'm planning on adding this chicCooluli Beauty 12L Thermoelectric Mini Fridge ($180) to my setup.

If you ask me, this Dada Daily I Wanna Hold Your Hand Bowl ($65) is the most practical piece of art I've ever seen. It can make anything as mundane as your keys and loose change chic.

For the past few years, I've been loving Barefoot Dreams' throw blankets from afar. (I mean, the Kardashians and Gigi Hadid are big fans of the brand.) I'm finally putting my money where my mouth is and picking up the CozyChic Throw Blanket ($147). From the pretty pink hue to the ultra-plush material, this will come in handy during my holiday hibernation.

It's no secret that I'm obsessed with candles, and this Les Citadines Holographic Candle ($53) had me at the word "brioche." (A carb-inspired candle?! It doesn't get better than that. With a cool holographic canister and rich notes of vanilla, milk, and caramel, this one appeals to all of the senses.

As someone who moved from New York to San Francisco six months before the pandemic, I'm always looking for ways to bring the Empire State of Mind to the West Coast. Fortunately, these Cody Foster & Co. Cody Foster Set of 6 New York City Glass Ornaments ($12) will make home feel a little closer. (And can we talk about how cute the bagel ornament is?! Swoon.)

Confession time: I'm absolutely lousy at staying hydrated, so I'm always on the hunt for effective (and stylish!) ways to remind myself to drink some water. Fortunately, this Ferm Living Small Ripple Carafe Set ($45) looks so good that I can leave it on my desk.

My fiancé and I have a bunch of friends who are coming to visit us this month. While we already have a trundle bed and mattresses to accommodate our guests, we're in desperate need of some new sheets. Made of a crisp percale, Nordstrom at Home's Sheet Set ($99-$119) oozes hotel vibes.

Santa, if you're reading this, I would very much like Smeg's Automatic Espresso Coffee Machine ($799) for Christmas. Not only is this espresso machine ridiculously chic, but it'll also help me get my non-stop busy days off on the right foot. Let's be real, waking up to a creamy cappuccino sounds like a dream.

If you want to give your holiday decorations a mindful approach, might I recommend this Nordstrom Crystal Snow Globe ($29)? Thanks to the crystal configuration, this pick will look good shaken or still.

I love having fresh flowers in my home — and this Kinto Aqua Culture Vase ($25) will give even my latest bodega bouquet an elevated edge.

I know what you're thinking: who needs yet another throw pillow? Trust me, this MoMA Design Store Knot Cushion ($125) will get tons of compliments during your next night in.

After using these Our Place Set of 4 Side Bowls ($45) for years, I can confidently say that they're the best bowls ever. And the fact I that can pick up some extras during my latest Nordstrom haul makes them even better.
