It’s officially the most wonderful time of the year. No, we’re not talking about holiday gifting, snow, and spending time with family (although those are nice, too) — it’s Nordstrom’s annual Black Friday sale. Whether you’re on the hunt for gifts for a friend, family member, or for your very deserving self, these prices will make you want to fill up your cart with everything you’ll need for the season of giving.

Hearing that thousands of items are on sale for up to 60 percent off during Nordstrom’s Early Black Friday Deals event is amazing, but it’s also overwhelming when there are so many deals to shop before Black Friday and Cyber Monday officially begin. If you don’t have time to sift through pages and pages of markdowns, don’t worry. We went ahead and hand-selected what we think you and your gift recipients will love. Now you just have to go forth and save.
