Your gaze might be fixed on Prime Day home deals right now, but turn your attention away from the Amazon universe and you’ll find yourself eyeing a whole new range of chic tablescape essentials, candles with the most opulent of fragrances, and bedding sets whose hefty thread count is only surpassed by the amount of joy you’ll get while reposing on them: all found at Nordstrom, during the retailer’s long-awaited Anniversary Sale.
This grand event occurs each summer, and it’s the perfect excuse for Nordstrom to roll out not only its fall fashions but also the trendiest home finds that make warm-weather entertaining a breeze. Whether you’re keen on hosting five of 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, Nordstrom’s on-sale table accessories, accent pieces, sheet bundles, and even cordless vacuums are all here to crown you “Hostess of the Year” in no time.
Technically, the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale doesn’t launch until July 12… that is, if you aren’t a Nordy Club cardholder. Those who are part of the retailer’s dedicated fan club can start shopping the sales early (as early as today, in fact, if you’re an Icon or Ambassador and tomorrow if you consider yourself a Nordstrom Influencer). Missed your chance to qualify for these titles and early-access privileges? You can still start curating the shopping cart of your dreams: building out a wishlist on the site that will become shoppable to everyone at 12:01 a.m. EST on the 12th. The Anniversary Sale only lasts until August 3, by the way, so we urge you not to wait around too long. That decorative plate you already envision resting on your kitchen table? Yeah, it’s likely to sell out at the speed of light.
Below, our editors’ trend-forward recommendations for what exactly to shop in Nordstrom’s wide-ranging home category. Once these goodies arrive (with free shipping, no less), you can finally get those invites sent out and start what is arguably the best part of every party: the preparations.

Diptyque Iconic Candle Gift Set
Composed of Diptyque’s three beloved scents — the fruity Baies, the woody-and-sweet fig fragrance Figuier, and the floral Tubereuse — this candle set is not only a Nordstrom exclusive but also an Anniversary exclusive, meaning you’d be hard-pressed to find it anywhere else, including on the French perfumer’s own site. Coming in an artful gift box, you can either gift the trio to a guest whose company you’ve especially enjoyed or use it to create a summery mood before the indulgent feast.

A bamboo lid, collapsible stand, and gold spigots are further touches that make this on-sale item worth your hard-earned money.

Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin Diffusers Duo
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.

When Is the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
The 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to the public on Friday, July 12, and will last until Sunday, August 3. Nordy Club cardholders have early-access privileges starting July 8, though, depending on their membership tier. That means even more time to score exclusive deals on luxury candles, dinnerware, bedding, and home cleaning solutions before items start to sell out.
Here’s when you can start shopping Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, depending on your Nordy Club status.
Icon status: July 8
Ambassador status: July 9
Influencer status: July 10
Everyone else: July 12
Do I Need to Be a Nordstrom Member to Shop the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
No, you don’t need to be a Nordstrom member to shop the Anniversary Sale once it opens to the public on July 12 — when all hostesses with the mostest are welcome to score the limited-time deals. That said, Nordstrom cardholders enjoy the aforementioned advantage of shopping the markdowns early. How to qualify? Signing up for a Nordstrom credit card will not only provide you with an instant $40 reward to use towards your next purchase but automatically make you a Nordstrom Influencer, meaning you can shop the Anniversary Sale two days prior to its official start. To become an Ambassador, you need to first spend $5,000 at Nordstrom in a year, and Icon status is achieved through an annual spend of $15,000 on your retailer-specific credit card. Cardholders also earn points on every purchase (including Anniversary Sale orders!) and unlock additional benefits like free basic alterations, bonus-point events, and exclusive offers throughout the year.
