Gift Guide: Last Minute Gifts for Her

If there’s one thing I know, it’s how to buy gifts at the last minute. As a procrastination master, I’ve perfected where to go for a one stop shop that has everything the women in your life would want: Nordstrom. To make things a little easier for my fellow last minute shoppers, I’ve gathered a few gift ideas from the department store. These items are universal in style and demographic so they’re perfect for all of the women on your list.

  1. Marc By Marc Jacobs “Baker” Watch: This watch has been a favorite of mine for a long time now. It’s a timeless style that has a slight vintage vibe to it, which has been huge in the watch world lately. It also comes in various colors and has a metal band option, so you’re sure to find a style that fits.
  2. MICHAEL Michael Kors “Large Jet Set” Crossbody Bag: Every girl would love a crossbody bag, especially one with clean, simple lines such as this one by Michael Kors. It’s perfect for those date night dinners or a day on the go when she doesn’t want to carry around a large tote.
  3. NARS Smoky Eye Compact: Eye shadow palettes are a great go-to when in a crunch for gift buying. While foundation or blush colors are difficult to choose for someone else, sticking with neutral eye shadows is always a safe bet. This one by NARS has great colors and comes with an angle brush and eyeliner.
  4. Vince Stripe Cashmere Sweater: You can’t ever go wrong with a cashmere sweater, especially one with classic stripes. Black and white is always a yes when it comes to gifting clothes since the combination is easy to add to any existing wardrobe.
  5. Alexander McQueen “Romantic Skull” Scarf: If I were to speak for all women in the world, I would safely say that I would die if I opened a box with an Alexander McQueen scarf in it. This one is a slight departure from the classic McQueen Skull print and is much more feminine.
  6. Dr. Martens “Flora” Chelsea Boot: Dr. Martens have had a huge resurgence this year, and I’m loving this update on the classic style. While not every girl would wear the lace-up version, this sleek counterpart is one that transcends many styles.
  7. Melissa Joy Manning Stackable Rings: This set of eight rings makes the perfect gift for a girl who appreciates her stacks. They can be worn all at once across a few fingers or one at a time depending on her mood. The hammered effect gives added style, while the tri-tone metals can be worn with any other pieces.
