The 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Catalog has dropped! If you are new to shopping the sale, this is a unique sale where NEXT season’s merchandise will be on sale before the season even starts!
This means you’re shopping for Fall in July… weird, I know! But it is great because you have your pick of sizes and styles — not just whatever is leftover. The catalog is only a small fraction of what you can expect to find at the sale. Don’t worry… there will be PLENTY more!
The sale starts July 20, 2018 and will go through August 5. Early access for Nordstrom card holders runs July 12-19 ahead of the official sale start date. Level 4 card holders get a special Anniversary Sale pre-shop date on July 11.
I have news about the 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Catalog! Every year I am dying with anticipation to find out WHEN we will see the catalog and I have it on good authority that it will launch online in a few days on June 25, 2018!
In the meantime, I’ve found a few photos to tide us over! Enjoy!

As the sale date approaches, I will be obsessively hunting down any and all information regarding potential sale items! Stay tuned! 🙂
Nordstrom has announced their Black Friday Deal for this year and they are doing an extra 20% off selected sale items. Last year, they ran the same promo and nearly everything was included except for the certain designer labels (mostly the highest end premier designer items).
I’ll be updating my post as I come across any great deals! In the meantime, have a wonderful thanksgiving!
One of my favorite fun games at holidays parties is the white elephant gift swap. I wanted to write an updated post with some new budget friendly ideas for your 2017 holiday swap, all under $25!
White Elephant gift ideas under $25
Beauty
Beauty items are some of my favorite budget friendly swap items.
Face Masks are always a hit. This set at Sephora includes 6 different ones. I also love Korean masks like Innisfree and The Face Shop and they are so affordable.
Sephora also carries a bunch of mini sets that would be a fun gift like this one from NARS which is a blush and lipstick duo and this one from Bite Beauty which is a small collection of lipsticks.
L’occitane hand creams are my favorite and they are a great winter gift since our hands get so dry with the heat! This L’occitane gift set includes 4 different scents.
Odds and Ends
Voluspa scented candles are amazing. My personal favorite is the Panjore Lychee scent. Heavenly! Plus the glass jar is so, so pretty.
Elephant and Piggie books are a hit with my kids. We got this book within a book last year and loved it!
Where to Shop
While you can always shop online, if you’re just buying 1 small thing shipping costs can add up quickly. I find that going to places like TJ Maxx or Marshall’s is a good place to find budget friendly gifts.
There are also a number of retailers who have a list of items that ship free without any minimum purchase. Here’s links to each one:
