Whether you’re just getting started on holiday gift shopping or are at the point in your search where you're nearing a breaking point, allow me to direct your attention to Nordstrom. Offering free 2-day shipping on orders placed by December 17 11:59pm EST for zip codes in major metropolitan areas, the retailer we've loved dearly since middle school is brimming with thousands (truly, thousands) of last-minute gift ideas.

Beyond classic best-sellers from the likes of Le Labo, Barefoot Dreams, UGG, and so forth, there’s a host of Nordstrom flagship experiences that make for thoughtful last-minute gift contenders this year as well. For those with loved ones based in cities with Spa Nordstrom locations or immersive Beauty Haven experiences (where services are offered from FaceGym, DryBar, and more), look to an eGift card for a luxe pampering. Or, if you're after a gift with a personalized touch and stopping by Nordstrom's NYC flagship is geographically feasible, make a beeline to their personalization studio for custom embroidery.

With last-minute holiday shopping top of mind, we've gone ahead and rounded up a list of the very best gift ideas and experiences there's still time to order (or pickup IRL) from Nordstrom. Along with a handful of picks a senior Nordstrom personal stylist shared with Town & Country, we've included a handful of some of the coolest finds we've unearthed on the site. Think: Modern furnishings from Kartell, $29 marble coasters, designer pieces from Nordstrom's exclusive collaborations celebrating 100 years of Disney, and the list goes on.

Bliss Plush Throw Blanket

Curling up with a good read or Netflix this winter will be a cozier endeavor with this reviewer-loved throw blanket (which counts 2.4k ratings and an average of 4.8 stars at the time of publication).

Beauty Haven eGift Card

Editor's note: I recently visited Nordstrom NYC's Beauty Haven spa and, let me tell you, being pampered in between picking up holiday gifts made for the most luxe in-real-life shopping experience I've ever had. There are four Beauty Maven spas at Nordstrom flagships throughout the US (see all locations here). If you're shopping for someone based in NYC, services of note include FaceGym, DryBar, Anastasia brow waxing, and the list goes on.
