As we approach the last week of Nordstrom’s iconic, not-to-miss Anniversary Sale, chances are you’ve already taken advantage of all the best luxury fashion deals featured but completely overlooked the home category’s rare markdowns. In that case, what are you waiting for? The 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends on August 3, but you can still purchase chic tablescape essentials, candles with the most opulent of fragrances, bedding sets whose hefty thread count is only surpassed by the amount of joy you’ll get while reposing on them, and other products that will turn your humble abode into a sanctuary of style.

These Collaborations Between High-End Hotels and Luxury Designers Are Worth Adding to Cart -- No Plane Ticket Required

This grand Nordstrom savings event occurs each summer: the ultimate season for warm-weather entertaining. And because we all know you want to win the “Hostess of the Year” award this year, Nordstrom is here to make it easy. Whether you’re keen on hosting your best friends for an upcoming long weekend, have a few small, outdoor gatherings planned, or are getting the whole house ready ahead of the in-laws’ arrival, the retailer’s must-grab finds will make sure your guests are not only comfortable but left speechless at how tasteful your interiors and backyard look. The best part? Your wallet doesn’t have to take a hit in order for that to happen.

Don’t wait too long to secure the glassware, towels, blankets, and kitchen goodies of your dreams, because August 3 will come in the blink of an eye. Even if you beat the deadline, the bestselling items might be gone before you know it. Case in point: Some of the top kitchen finds sold out almost as soon as the sale launched, including a pair of tiki glasses Jimmy Buffett would no doubt approve of and a rotating charcuterie board that would be perfect for your next picnic (that is, if it was still around). Also off the market is the Dyson V15 Detect Pro Cordless Vacuum, demonstrating the current shopping frenzy that surrounds Nordstrom’s marked-down cleaning gadgets. If you miss its biggest sale of the year, you’ll have to wait until Black Friday or the Half-Yearly Sale Nordstrom stages in December.

For juicing the most benefits out of your Nordstrom shopping experience, become a Nordy Club member if you aren’t one already. It’s completely free to join and lets you rack up reward points on all purchases, get special birthday gifts on your big day, and shop Nordstrom’s new arrivals early. Want to go one step beyond all that, pledging true allegiance to your favorite place for saving big? Sign up for a Nordstrom credit card; for a limited time, all new cardholders will get $60 off their next purchase.

Below, our editors’ trend-forward recommendations for what exactly to shop in Nordstrom’s wide-ranging home category. Once everything arrives (with free shipping, no less), you can finally get those invites sent out and start what is arguably the best part of every summer party: the preparations.

Planning on cooking up a storm before the guests of honor show up at your doorstep? That merits major respect… and Le Creuset’s quintessential dutch oven to make the process much more enjoyable.

The CozyChic Throw Blanket (made from Barefoot Dreams’ signature knit fabric) feels soft as a cloud, is lightweight, and can keep you warm on breezy summer nights. It’s the ideal thing to hang over a couch before your visitors see the living room, or else give out to your friends while you all make S’mores around a fire pit. In need of a cozy gift idea?

Viking Acacia Wood Carving Board With Juice Groove

$39.99 $59.99 33% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

We love a cutting board that can moonlight as a serving platter when all the cooking is done and you can finally sit back, relax, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. This Viking one is just that: built to be supremely durable for all the steaks, watermelons, and rotisserie chickens on the menu, while also looking pretty as can be when placed amidst a cottagecore-themed table arrangement. The wood it’s composed of is resistant to both water and humidity, and those grooves lining the board’s edges collect any runoff that might occur.

Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin Diffusers Duo

$150 $224 33% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

For those who might find the subtle hum of essential oil diffusers a tad bit annoying, reed diffusers are a wonderful alternative: allowing the concentrated, fragrant oil to slowly and organically travel up the sticks and make its way into your space. You’ll be surprised by the far-reaching and long-lasting nature of Jo Malone’s Lime Basil & Mandarin Diffuser Duo, which takes about 24–36 hours to activate and lasts four to five months. As for what your nose will be exposed to? Only the very best, in the form of peppery basil, aromatic white thyme, refreshing lime, and summertime-evoking mandarin. Keep the diffusers out during indoor get-togethers, or use them to dilute the smell of a burning fire as you’re gathered beside it with the ones you love.
