Huge thanks to Nordstrom Rack and ShopStyle Collective for sponsoring this post
In case you’re looking for more gift ideas or perhaps you just like knowing about cool things 🤓😄, today I’m partnering with Nordstrom Rack and ShopStyle Collective to share some, including some neat home items, super affordable fuzzy loungewear and casual clothes, gifts for men, and more! And they’re all under $50!
I have totally loved exploring everything Nordstrom Rack has to offer. They have SO MANY great things at really amazing prices, like clothes, home goods, gadgets, kitchen items, shoes, kids’ clothes, toys, electronics, and beauty products, just to name a few! Plus, Nordstrom Rack offers extended returns, especially during the holidays (allowing you to return through 2/7/22!) in addition to online ordering and the ability to pick up in-store or curbside at your local Nordstrom Rack or Nordstrom!
I’ll talk through a few finds and then highlight more at the very bottom of this post—there are so many good things!
SIZING: I’m 5’6″ and usually S/M or 6 in clothes and 8.5 to 9 in shoes.
First up is this cordless, portable vacuum with USB charger. I don’t know about you, but our car has definitely needed its own vacuum to quickly pick up all the gross crumbs our kids leave, and this vacuum is perfect for that! While you can use this on larger surfaces like hardwood or carpet, what I especially like it for is picking up dirt from small cracks and crevices in the car! It is cordless, has great suction, and comes with both a crevice nozzle and brush attachment. It has a built-in rechargeable battery that you can charge through an outlet or a USB power source, which makes it great for your car! You can also use it to clean your computer keyboard, couch crevices, or any other area you want to clean up quickly and conveniently! This has 450+ reviews and 4.6 stars, and it would make a great gift for anyone. I definitely gifted this to myself and am about to buy another one to give away! And it’s under $40! Find it HERE.
This fuzzy faux shearling zip-up jacket is a fun find either for yourself or to give as a gift! It is really lightweight and keeps you warm but not super toasty, making it good for moderate to cooler days. BTW, while the inside isn’t fuzzy like the outside, it’s still soft and flexible. It comes in 5 colors, HERE. I’m showing Rust Cherry and wear size S.

Another great item is this HappyLight Lucent. Its 300+ reviews and 4.8 stars had me intrigued! People use this to help wake up and to boost their mood and energy, which sounds helpful during that midday slump or any other day you wake up feeling a little blah. It also seems especially great this time of year when there’s less daylight to naturally boost your energy. Reviews say this light is a lot brighter than some of the other models (and whether that’s good or bad is up to your preference!). You can find this HappyLight Lucent model HERE and other models HERE. This could be a great gift to brighten someone’s day! (See what I did there? 😆)
In a similar vein is the Smartlight LED Desk Lamp. I never thought I’d be intrigued by a desk lamp 😂, but the 277 reviews and 4.9 stars(!!) caught my attention! In addition to the sleek and modern design, this LED light is super bright and mimics natural daylight, plus it uses an Optic lens to reduce glare. So many people said this reduces eye strain. It also has a light dimming feature so that you can adjust its brightness along with a USB portal so that you can plug in your devices! Find it HERE. There is also a large floor lamp version HERE that has 440+ reviews and 4.9 stars! Crazy!
BTW, these brushed knit lounge joggers are really cute and really comfy! They are high waisted with pockets and a comfy elastic and drawstring waistband. They come in 2 prints and 2 solid colors and are a very easy gift to give! Who wouldn’t want soft, comfy, cute pajamas? Check out all the colors and prints HERE. I wear size S.
Also, let’s not forget about this awesome blanket! Yes, I ended up getting a second one, and thank goodness, it made my kids stop fighting over it! 😄 It’s really soft and really, really warm and cozy! Comes in 4 colors, HERE.
If you’re looking for a long cardigan, this one is very affordable under $30 and has a fairly streamline fit. Long cardigans are super versatile and are a key wardrobe staple. This one is a medium thickness, drapes pretty well, and doesn’t add a lot of bulk to your top half. The ribbed texture is a nice touch to add some visual interest, too! It comes in 3 colors, HERE. I’m wearing size S. There’s another similar one in other colors HERE.

BTW, Nordstrom Rack also carries lots of kids’ toys. I’ve shared a few before, and this Woven Wall Hanging Kit that I bought for my older daughter just arrived. She loves crafts, and this seems easy for her to do. Check it out HERE! There are also some really cool sets, like this STEAM box that teaches kids about hydraulics as they build an excavator, a box set that teaches kids how to do 20 magic tricks, and a clay activity box similar to one my kids LOVE to create 28 clay creations. Below, I have more suggestions for kids’ gifts, including ones for younger kids too.
