The sale section at Nordstrom is a gold mine right now, which is perfect for last-minute gift shopping! I found these popular Cole Haan boots 40% off, and these Madewell slippers for 50% off!

Today I've rounded up some of my favorite gift ideas from Amazon—special yet affordable finds for moms, sisters, besties and more! Many are items I've gifted in the past with great feedback, like this AeroGarden (yes, it really works!) or this calming (not to mention aesthetically beautiful) Tibetan Singing Bowl. They're a little unexpected, but guaranteed to spread holiday cheer and joy—and that's the best part about gift giving!

Target is having a great sale on toys right now! When you spend $50, you can save $10. Spend $100, save $25! With three young children, toys are where the bulk of my holiday spending is going (parents, you feel me?!)
