If you live in a place where winter is a real thing, you know that a good puffer coat is one of the best investments you can make. (So how come you're still grabbing whatever happens to be on the hook by the door, and just hoping you don't run into anyone at the supermarket?) It's time to step it up, and Nordstrom Rack is here to make it painless, with an incredible early-season sale on beautiful warm puffers in every style you can imagine.

We're talking deals starting at $50, and savings north of 60 percent from top, rarely discounted brands. You'll find your new jacket here, and, we're willing to bet, a couple of great gift too. These items will arrive before Christmas, so you'll have plenty of time to wrap them up and tuck them the tree.

Who says wool coats and shackets are the only chic outerwear? Here are some of the best puffers you can scoop up for a steal right now:

Down from $220 to just $90, this sleek, slimming coat is the kind of item that, once you own, you'll wonder how you ever endured winter without. A flattering stand collar keeps you warm with or without the removable hood. Also available (and on sale) in a rich brown shade. Shoppers suggest sizing down on this long, luxe beauty. "The quality, length and style are great," says one.

If you're all about the drama, this puffer — down from $245 to just $90 – might be the one for you. It has a defined waist and a generous dose of faux-fur hood, both of which bring the glam to an otherwise otherwise sporty style. And shoppers love it. Here's one now: "This is probably one of my favorite coats of all time!! I don't have to wear a beanie for my head because the faux fur by the neck keeps my head, neck, and part of my ears and jaw warm.... I also love the big pockets and the cuffs around the wrists that keep the warmth in. The jacket is soo stylish, comfortable, lightweight, and warm...."

If you always dress in black, why not let your coat do the heavy lifting, style-wise? It's a great trick, and it works every time. This cheery red is an instant spirit-lifter, and truly goes with everything. You'll feel upbeat (and warm!) the moment you slip it on — especially when you recall that you nabbed it for 70 bucks, down from $180. Not shown (but loved) is a bit of detailing in back for a flattering rear view. Also available in white or black.

We're thinking there's someone on your holiday list who would love this corduroy jacket (is it you? your best friend? your daughter?). And a this price — down from $129 to just $53 — does it really matter? You can scoop it up now and decide who to bequeath it to later.

One shopper, who titles her review "maximum coziness," says of this jacket: "Just got it today and I’m already obsessed. I’d been wanting this jacket for a long time and then finally bought it and I couldn’t be happier! The color is a bit more purple in person, but it’s beautiful and extremely comfy. I also noticed that it’s really warm — it’ll be a great outer layer to wear in cold weather while staying cute!" Also available — and on sale — in black.

There's a Scandinavian simplicity to this brilliantly practical coat. There are bottom zippers on both sides so you can open up the fit to sit (no squeezing, like with some hip-covering winter wear), deep pockets to hold phone and keys and a generous hood to protect from the wind. This is the warm outerwear you'll reach for again and again. Half off, people. Don't delay.

If you prefer fleece to (faux) fur, this coat is your match. It has a fleece-lined collar, cropped (but still flattering) fit, and button-snap pockets. Grab it in the teal shade above, classic black or rich burgundy.

"It kept me so warm without being heavy or feeling too bulky," a shopper noted. "The collar kept my neck and ears warm too when I popped it up. Got compliments first day wearing!"

Finally, if you live in a climate that doesn't get too cold (or if you run warm yourself) this sweater-puffer hybrid could be your MVP! Half off, and available in glossy black, gray or white, as well as the delicious rose shade above, it works like an all-in-one down-vest-and-sweater, complete with a hood. Great for spring and fall too, and at 60 bucks, a perfect gift.
