Not to stress anyone out, but holiday shopping season is officially here — that is, if you're the non-procrastinator crossing names off the gift list at a reasonable and (at the moment) unhurried pace. The reward for securing your holiday gifts ahead of time? Massive savings, of course. That's because when you're still in perusal mode, there's no need to impulsively buy things that are way out of your budget. For those of us who have been in the know for quite some time now, Nordstrom Rack is absolutely one of those holiday gifting destinations that always delivers super-thoughtful, super-affordable gems.

You really don't need to look hard, either — the options are abundant, many of which are under $100, under $25, and even under $10. It's all part of the retailer's More Reasons to Rack initiative, which is the brand's commitment to expanding price and product offerings across all categories. Essentially, it means you're able to truly maximize your dollars when it comes to stocking up on giftables at Nordstrom Rack.
