There are two great things happening right now — and no, it’s not just the weekend of love. First, spring is just around the corner (I swear!). And second? Scores of retailers are dropping some of the best Presidents’ Day deals as you read this. Personally, I’m spending my time artfully combing through the digital racks of Nordstrom’s Presidents’ Day sale.
The department store’s sale section is stuffed with discounts of up to 60% off across all departments, from fashion and beauty to home decor and even designer goods (like this pair of Burberry sunglasses for 40% off). Want to take advantage of those winter fashion discounts? Nordstrom slashed the prices on hundreds of cashmere items. I also have my eye on this flowy Free People sweater for 55% off (bringing it down to $76 from $168). Oh, and what about adding a little bit of sunshine to your life with the cutest Le Creuset mini Dutch oven for just $22.
I know that this many deals (more than 53,000) can be, well, overwhelming. To help you out, I gathered the best Nordstrom Presidents’ Day deals to shop until you metaphorically drop. (Psst: Nordy Club member scan score 5-10x loyalty points, but only until the end of the day. Not a member? It’s free to sign up!)

Transitional weather is upon us, which means it’s time to start assessing your spring jacket situation. This flattering, quilted jacket is such a good blend of functional and fashionable. It’s sustainably sourced and made with 100% recycled polyester. You can grab it in eight colors including black and navy.
“I love this coat,” declared a Nordstrom customer. “I’m a big Bernardo fan and own numerous jackets. This is the perfect 45-60 degree coat. I live in a very wet climate and it’s water resistant which is excellent for walking my dog. The pockets are deep and it’s very cozy. I wear bulky sweaters under it and it doesn’t feel super tight.”
As a sweater enthusiast, I can confidently say that Free People makes some of the best cozy sweaters out there — especially when it comes to oversized styles. They’re also normally pretty pricey. Take, for example, this wool-blend pullover that normally retails for $168 (and now it’s down to $76). It’s slouchy, soft and features a flattering high-low hem that hits right at the hips while covering the bum.
I’m obsessed with this cheery blue, but it also comes in gray, white and olive green. Loose, casual, comfy…what’s not to love? Pair it with casual jeans or dress it up with a skirt.
No matter the season, a matching pajama set is such an easy way to feel put-together, even on those days when you’re very much not. You can score this expensive-feeling pair for as little as $50 (depending on the color). It’s great for that end-of-winter weather thanks to the long pants and long-sleeved top.
The set is also super versatile: “I like it so much that I would consider wearing the shirt as a top out and about. It’s very retro,” wrote a five-star reviewer. “The material is so soft and comfortable. I wear a coordinating-colored tank to sleep in and then wear the top for morning coffee. I would feel completely comfortable if someone came over unexpectedly.”
If you’re still on the hunt for the perfect bra, then let me introduce you to the Natori Feathers bra (Yahoo recently named it the best bra!). I’ve sworn by this undergarment for years and have it in multiple colors. It’s partially lined with contoured plunge cups to give your bust a flattering shape and elastic-lined edges that keep the bra securely in place without digging into your skin.
“This is a great fitting bra that makes my modest bust size look great,” wrote one of the thousands of five-star reviewers. “Very comfortable, provides a great contour and the lace does not show through the shirt. This is now my go to bra.”
Zella is one of Nordstrom’s bestselling brands for a good reason. Shoppers are obsessed with the athletic brand’s buttery-soft fabric, flattering silhouettes and versatile pieces — like these athleisure pants that are basically flowy leggings. The pull-on style features a moisture-wicking fabric and has pockets (the best).
“These pants fit true to size,” shared one shopper. “I wanted something that looked a little bit more elevated than regular joggers. They hold my stomach in and give me a nice figure. These will also be a great travel pant.”

Don’t let the small size and stylish color fool you — this trendy tote can fit your laptop and all of your other essentials. It’s made with plant-based leather and features interior and exterior pockets. Not feeling the top handles? Use the adjustable crossbody strap!
“I have been eyeing this bag for months,” said a Tory Burch fan. “I have many bags in many colors, but I wanted something easy to carry and had plenty of room. This bag is great, as I am always carrying things for my family. The material is so nice and wipes up easily. Would love to purchase another!”
It’s not too early to start thinking about spring break travel. Gear up for your next warm-weather vacation with this three-piece luggage set from Swiss Mobility. This trio includes a carry-on, medium check-in and a large check-in bag to help you navigate any vacation.
Each suitcase features 360-degree rotating wheels and easy-to-maneuver handles, plus the medium and large cases are expandable. It’s more than 60% off right now, so I’m pretty sure it’s going to sell out ASAP. Grab one of the five colors while you can (they’re soooo pretty).
Ugg slippers are a winter staple so when a pair is marked down by 25%, I notice. Slip your tootsies into these ultra-plush foot warmers and be cozy forever. Lined with the brand’s signature wool blend shearling, these slippers are great for wearing around the house. But they also have a decent bottom so you can wear them out to the mailbox, no problem. Plus, the EVA sole will keep your foot supported throughout the day. (Because why would you ever take them off?)
“I’ve gotten lots of comments on them already and I’ve had them for two weeks,” shared one five-star reviewer who called them her “favorite” shoes. “They mold right to your feet after being a little tight at first — with a little breaking in they become perfect. The fur looks brand new and I’ve worn them every day so far, including in the snow!”
Question: How often do you see high-quality cashmere (of any kind) for under $50? I sure don’t — and my nine-to-five is literally just online shopping. These über-warm cashmere gloves will work with any touchscreen. This way, you don’t have to expose your fingers to the not-so-warm elements. And they’re classic enough to wear year after year without going out of style.
“These cashmere gloves are perfect for every day,” wrote a happy Nordstrom shopper. “Soft and pretty. Great for work. Warm and stylish. I love the neutral color as it goes well with all the black I wear.”
Hunter makes the best rain boots out there, and this short Chelsea-cut pair is a great way for your feet to stay dry without feeling like you’re wearing, hulking galoshes.
“Perfect,” described a fan. “Super comfortable and easy to wear with skinny jeans or sweatpants.”

If the eyes are the window to the soul, then the brows are the frame. I mean, you can’t have a window without a frame. This three-piece set comes with a slim pencil, angled definer and clear gel to create the ideal brow look.
“My brows have thinned with age so I decided to try filling them in with this pencil in the charcoal color,” explained one five-star reviewer. “This pencil is fantastic! The colored tip is easy to use and it looks very natural.”
A vitamin C serum is a must in your skin care routine. This one from Perricone also features hydrating squalane and rosemary leaf extract, giving it an extra boost when it comes to visibly smoothing, brightening and minimizing discoloration.
“This stuff works,” writes one five-star reviewer. “It brightens my face. The light, very light, citrusy and clean scent is a welcome experience as I apply it. My skin is noticeably brighter. First time I used it it took about four weeks-ish to see results. Now I maintain it and love it. It’s not a splurge but a necessity as part of my regime.”
While pricey, Westman Atelier makeup is just as good as everyone says. This little duo (valued at $79) includes the Eye Love You eye pencil and Eye Want You mascara to create the ideal natural-looking eye look.
“I love this mascara,” stated a Nordstrom shopper. “My problem with other mascaras is that they do not stay in place and leave a dark shadow on my under eyes. I don’t have that problem with this one.”
It’s always exciting when items from Beautyblender go on sale. If you don’t know, beauty blenders are the makeup sponges to end all makeup sponges (I’ve tried other brands and they just don’t compare). Yes, each signature pink egg-shaped puff is pricey, which is why nabbing one on sale is a must. This set (valued at $38) features both the iconic sponge and a dual-sided puff to finish off your look with a dash of powder.
“I love all things makeup,” stared a beauty guru. “I figured this sponge would be no better than any other sponge but I was pleasantly surprised. After applying my foundation I quickly use the moistened sponge to even things out and make the whole application look flawless. The sponge is finer and more flexible than other sponges I’ve used.”
This skincare set of two absurdly popular Peter Thomas Roth products is already valued at nearly $100 — meaning it’s actually 60% off if you do the math. The cult-favorite 24K Gold Mask is designed to help firm and brighten the look of the skin with (you guessed it) 24K gold and peridot. Meanwhile, the Cucumber Detox Hydra-Gel eye patches are made to soothe, hydrate and de-puff the eye area with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, caffeine and cucumber extract.
Together, the duo is a refreshing, anti-aging powerhouse that lookss and feels great. I’ve been a loyal fan of the cucumber eye patches for years and can confirm that they do work. I also pretend I’m at a spa every morning when I plop them on, but that’s neither here nor there.

If you’re looking for an affordable item from the Le Creuset family (or just want to add something cute to your life), this darling 8-ounce cocotte gets the job done.
The baby Dutch oven has a premium enamel-glazed interior and is ideal for heating individual servings of cozy favorites like baked ziti, oatmeal, stew and more. Choose from 13 colors (10 of which are on sale) — including this sunshine-y yellow.
Fun fact: celebrities love to snuggle in the winter just like us. Their preferred blanket of choice? Any Barefoot Dreams number. The brand’s signature blanket — now 40% off — is made of wildly soft microfiber that stays impossibly soft wash after wash. Unlike other microfiber blankets, it doesn’t pill, snag or shed. Throw it on your bed, couch, or lounge chair or just wrap yourself up in it and take it from room to room.
“I am so very pleased with the quality and the softness,” wrote a warm and cozy shopper. “It is the perfect Goldilocks size, exactly the measurements in the description.”
What’s a sauteuse? So glad you asked. It’s a cross between a Dutch oven and a sauté pan, the sauteuse is great for sauteing, searing, braising, frying and baking everything from pasta to brownies. The enameled cast iron pot from Le Creuset is oven- and dishwasher-safe and suitable for all cooktops, even induction.
My future in-laws just gifted me one of these babies for my bridal shower a few weeks ago and I’ve pretty much used it every day since (sorry to my Dutch oven) — even for the simple things. Like, the other day I made scrambled eggs and they tasted like I imagined Ina Garten’s to taste like.
This light blue duvet and sham set basically scream(-whisper)s dreamland. Of course, you don’t have to get it in this light blue — the set also comes in white, olive, gray and a creamy ivory.
Both the duvet cover and shams are made of smooth and luxurious 100% cotton sateen. So, basically, you can pretend you’re sliding into a bed worthy of the rich and famous, but for less than $100.
A few weeks ago, I tragically lost my big dumb cup at the airport. After all, what are we without our big dumb cups? I’ve always been a fan of Hydro Flask bottles and this pretty purple is so soothing and the perfect replacement.
Specs-wise, it can hold 40 ounces of liquid, is BPA-free, dishwasher-safe and features a TempShield double-wall vacuum insulation to keep things cool or hot for hours.
