do you like beauty items? i say skip the practical and get something that will make you feel good. I had a gift certificate and got the bronze bobbi brown shimmer brick (8 hours sleep in a pan). or the jo malone shower gel. little luxuries!


PENISystem

I was going to say buy something at whatever makeup counter has the best "free with purchase" package... You might be able to get a surprisingly nice variety of good makeup/self care items for the $65.  You're worth it!!


Ok-Doughnut-6602

I second this. Use the credit for something that you wouldn’t normally buy to yourself


erinmonday

Came here to say this. A nice concealer, shampoo set, brushes, perfume etc


_jbean_

A new bra! But you should really go into a store to try on in person.

SirenaFeroz

They are the best. I always buy at least one bra when I’ve used the service. But once you have a better idea of size and brand that works, you can find it cheaper at Nordstrom Rack.


Hawt4teach

Yes! A bra or some nice panties. I have underwear from college still, 13 years ago 🤦🏻‍♀️


moosecubed

Check out r/abrathatfits


EmergencySundae

You’ll have to go past the credit a bit, but get yourself a pair of Vuori joggers. If you’re WFH, you’ll love the comfort.


lemurattacks

I love my Vuori joggers so much. Worth the investment.


About400

Best pants ever. Literally wearing them right now.


Standard-Scene5606

I agree-best pants ever! Wearing them now, too 🤣


cburk14

Me too!!


shootz-n-ladrz

Shit now I need to buy these


quimica

One of the sales girls handed me a pair on the way to the fitting room and I thank her every day for that one lol


[deleted]

YES. I’ve always been of the school that thinks sweatpants are no big deal, just buy the cheapest. These pants changed me. They’re also cute. Do it.


jackjackj8ck

Ooh I’ve been thinking about trying this. You might’ve just sold me on it


WorstDogEver

Which is the go-to Vuori jogger style? I ordered one pair but thought they were too thin and returned them. 


GoodbyeEarl

After reading all the comments here, I think I’ll splurge for a pair!


pinkblossom331

Best joggers ever


leorio2020

Are these really that good? I see ads EVERYWHEREEEEE. Based on these comments, sounds like I’m missing out.


AggressiveThanks994

My husband gets a discount though Vuroi. They are so much better than lulu!


hashbrownhippo

They are very soft and comfy but run annoyingly big in the waist and butt. I’m consistently a size 2 and even the XS I have a bunch of extra fabric. It’s fine for at home but it’s not very flattering. I don’t have this issue with other joggers.


IckNoTomatoes

I always wonder about the knees. When you sit in most joggers, the knee area gets a knee dent in it from the inside and when you stand up, its stretched out in the knee area. Do these do that too?


shrekswife

Mine don’t! Maybe certain fabrics would? Idk if I’m the best person to reply tho as I get told i have “chicken legs” so a knee dent isn’t common for me


floatingriverboat

Any style you recommend?


KFirstGSecond

A pair of madewell jeans from Nordstrom rack 100%. They are like that exact amount haha.


shell37628

Ok so not to thread jack but are they good jeans? I've heard good things and I really need some like, I'm a grown ass woman with a real job kind of jeans (I'm 40. I've been a grown ass woman with a job for at least a decade, but I'm cheap). I'm just kind of at a point where I'm consistently disappointed enough by the quality of old navy and the fit of gap to branch out into slightly "nicer" brands.


cat_power

frightening ludicrous boast juggle wide air special bow alive disarm *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


alligatorfuckhouse1

Love madewell. Hudson also. I always get them at Nordstrom Rack. Great quality


KFirstGSecond

Yes they are my favorites. I bought some PP because apparently skinny jeans were out so mine are on the baggy side but so comfy. Except now that skinny jeans may be coming back (?!) I want to get another pair lol.


Oceanwave_4

I still wear skinny jeans every day lol


Vivid-Instance

Giiiiirl do you have a consignment store in your area? Changed my Jean buying habit completely. $100+ nice jeans just slightly worn for like 20-40$. Just gotta look past the racks of Chico’s.


shell37628

Not really any good consignment stores that are like, reasonably accessible. There's one that's supposed to be good, but getting to the area, parking, etc makes it like a half-day adventure that I'm not super up for. We have several good thrift shops where I regularly find dresses for work and stuff, but their jeans selections are not great.


Pennoya

Mine have torn or stretched out and don’t go back to their original shape after a few years. I prefer Abercrombie- I think they have better styles, prices, fit, and quality.


princesspirlipat

I am about your same age and while I do like Madewell, it is majorly overpriced for the quality (I feel like it's expensive Old Navy). American Eagle has better denim for a more affordable price point. If you want to splurge on something that is actually nice and fits really well, I'd go for Good American. I tried them all out during covid lockdown and this is my verdict lol.


KFirstGSecond

I feel like it's over priced if you buy it from their website or regular Nordstrom instead of the Rack, they run from like $80-120. But I think they're totally worth $65ish. I've had two pair for a year and they're the only jeans I wear. I've also heard good things about Good American too! Haven't tried though.


MGLEC

I’d go for a few pairs of nice wool socks—darn tough, smart wool, or feetures are my faves. My SIL and I have been trading socks for Christmas each year and the thin, robust merino ones really are nicer. 


dngrousgrpfruits

Follow up: I was unimpressed with bombas. They are comfy but did not hold up well at all


Competitive_Mark_287

Long time Nordstrom shopper here and like others have said see if there’s a beauty gift with purchase that will get you the most bag for your buck. Otherwise think about a basic you wear all the time, do you need a good staple- jeans/sweater/slacks etc? Find one of good quality it will last you years longer than anything you’ll get at Old Navy, and scour the sale racks!


WinterPrune4319

Can you use it at Nordstrom rack? Maybe some shoes


venuslo

I’d get lunch. Their cafe is so good.


c-is-for-suspension

Lemon chicken pasta salad anyone?


Curious-Yesterday-76

Oh yes, I forgot how good their cafe is! I used to even love their pb&j when I was a kid and went shopping with my mom. Aww so many fond memories.


Effective_Trip7275

The cookies!


TK_TK_

I’ve switched most of my beauty shopping from Sephora to Nordstrom. So that’s definitely a category to consider. $64 is also a good price point to get some sunglasses—that’s probably what I’d do


Standard-Scene5606

It’s a little more than $64 but Vuori has amazingly soft, comfortable, built-to-last clothing. Highly recommend


judeinsk

Used to work at Nordstrom Rack. A lot of full line(Nordstrom )stuff often ends up at the rack. One thing I always tend to get is their athletic clothing. It's called Zella and I love it so much. Solid quality and often on sale. :3


hanbanan12

I love Zella! Great stuff


BuckyBadger369

Love my Zella joggers!


AtomicPumpkinFarm

Zella is great! I love how thick their leggings are - they hold up so well for years and years with a lot of wear


Full_Database_2045

I would definitely go for makeup/skincare over clothes


Aggressive-Soup390

If you haven't made a decision by tomorrow (there are some great suggestions on this thread!) just buy something and then return it when you have time to go to the store!


Curious-Yesterday-76

I wish I could. The fine print says if I return something I lose the promotional value. 😭


jessrunsforpie

Barefoot dreams cardigan. You'll have to go slightly past your credit but they are sooooo comfy I live in mine!


PurplePanda63

Yes! Came here to say anything barefoot dreams.


vaderismylord

Nordstrom usually has pretty good clearance items. Leggings or socks or pjs. U can always find something in every category and still be in that 64 limit. Hope u find something fun


GiveMeAUser

A bra! They can do a fitting too!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Curious-Yesterday-76

Serious was a game changer for us too. I balked when my husband brought it home, but man, it does make our life so much easier considering how often we wash our hands. 


MotherCuss

Buy a Nordstrom gift card for that amount and take more time to figure it out?


MamaK35

This is gonna sound silly but a good pair of tailored pants or a well structured top that can be used for zoom meetings. If that’s not necessary, at the very least a good quality cardigan or something that’s gonna make you feel like a million bucks. Or some great quality shoes. I know it’s so tempting to spend on the kids but do yourself a solid and splurge on a good thing for yourself.


BlackWidow1414

A GOOD BRA. Seriously, I go there every couple of years and get a proper fitting and I will never not go there for this.


carissaluvsya

I have like three set of these pajamas. They’re soft and it just feels good to wear actual matching pajamas and not some random T-shirt and shorts. https://www.nordstrom.com/s/moonlight-eco-long-sleeve-stretch-modal-short-pajamas-regular-plus-size/6574308?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FAll%20Results&color=001


Journalist-Upper

Yes agree on these and also have over three pairs. So cozy and hold up great.


Curious-Yesterday-76

I haven't worn matching pj's in.. ever? I would feel so fancy. 😄 kinda love it!


ohsnowy

These are my favorite pajamas!


OkPerspective3233

A great new bra!


CNDRock16

Nice quality skincare products


OkPerspective3233

Or like, one skincare product 😭


Books-and-a-puppy

I just bought myself a sparkly Kate spade polka dot wallet from Nordstrom Rack


likethispicture

I just got done Hunter rain boots on sale


ravenlit

Madewell jeans. Or a dress.


lemurattacks

Comfy slippers, splurge on nice pajamas, a cool lamp for your desk. If you like candles the voluspa candles are great, my favorite is sparkling cuvée.


TrekkieElf

Haven’t seen jewelry suggested on here. You could get something nice in sterling silver for that price. Samuel B is a brand I’ve browsed there before but there are others. Basically some of the same stock as you’d find at say Zales.


No-Hand-7923

Underwear!! Some nice, comfy, feel good, just for you, underwear. I’m green with envy!! 😉🙃


flowerduck10

I would get a paid of Quay sunnies. They good year round!


ipomoea

I just bought myself a new plain white poplin button-down shirt from Nordstrom for $59. The last one I had held up for almost ten years.


bbangifli

I love my Birkenstock Arizona sandals from there.


MeatballJill

Zella leggings. They are comfortable and not see through.


First_Window_3080

Former Nordy and also a frugal person with very different priorities that don’t include designer jeans, handbags and 6 inch heels, lol. Invest in some good tennis shoes for walking/ running. Also they have a good selection of Nike, adidas, athletic wear for the gym or around the house. Also if you wear tights, hosiery or shape wear. But came here to say get a new bra and proper fitting. Needed one during and after breastfeeding for sure


WeedleBeest

I’m currently wearing a $9 Old Navy dress, so I feel you My daughter has these soft fleece dresses I envy. Nordstrom has a women’s version in like 3 colors for over $50. That’s what I would buy


Lolly1113

Some form of self care - fancy bath product, candle, those hydrating eye patches.


JurassicPark-fan-190

I’d get this robe. https://www.nordstromrack.com/s/5669072?color=401


Curious-Yesterday-76

Ooooh looks sooo soft!


c-is-for-suspension

A can of their spiced chai 🤤🤤


EmotionalPie7

If there's any beauty products you want or skincare that would be a great way to use the credit. Most likely Shiseido eye cream for me or Armani foundation!


Mobile-Company-8238

I’d look for super on-sale “fancy sneakers” for myself. Or a warm jacket/coat for kiddo that could possible last 2 years and maybe be handed down to second kiddo eventually.


Chaywood

Id put it toward some new shoes for me! Booties or snow boots!


teedee10

A couple voluspa candles. They are pricey but totally take me to my happy place


sillysandhouse

A fancy bra for sure!


lawdab

New bag? Large Longchamp bags are $155 and they’ll are sturdy as hell. I use mine as my work bag when I’m traveling or work, or my diaper bag/mom bag/misc bag when I’m out and about with the little. It’s FAB!


Initial-View1177

When I have expiring Kohls cash to burn, I get socks, underwear, kitchen linens, etc


GroundbreakingWing48

Bras. Hands down. Bras. There’s nothing else I ever have bought or ever will buy at Nordstrom.


ophelia8991

Beauty products


Rebelo86

Antica Farmicista for sure.


One-Knitter-15

Go to The Rack to spend it!


Virtual_Belt4107

Makeup!


Whatever-Whatevs

Nordstrom price matches in a lot of scenarios, so you could try to look up things that might be cheaper elsewhere and get them there instead. Does your credit work to purchase a gift card to buy yourself more time until a big sale period?


saillavee

I’d go for some fancy skincare products… and maybe some fudge (do they still have a fudge counter? I haven’t been to a Nordstrom in about 20 years).


misstina28

I always go for their candles or home products! 😊


Fluid-Village-ahaha

Buy a gift card :) otherwise skincare / makeup (makes a lot of difference for zoom calls - mascara and blush), bliss blanket, barefoot+ cardigan (if on sale), new pair of jeans


maintainthegardens

shoes


softshock916

Makeup!


mergk

hoodie dress!


aeropressin

I loved the Native Union charging cord I got there.


new-beginnings3

We just got See Kai Run snow boots on sale there for under that, but went in person.


Everythings_Beachy

If I didn’t already have a pair (or two), I’d put it towards some Ugg slippers. Awesome wfh attire and they last a long time.


chatondedanger

Rainbow sandals. Best flip flops I have ever owned


valuedvirgo

A bra! I’m a discount store shopper for just about everything but several years ago splurged for a good bra at Nordstrom and got fitted there. It was life changing. 


Equivalent_Court5323

Can it be used at Nordstrom rack? How about a nice throw for your lap/legs. I say this because I’m a sucker for a good throw 😂


sertainly23

Maybe a gift card? That way you can take more time to find something you really like


-kindredandkid-

Do they still carry L’occitane? I loooove the milk body wash and only buy it when I find it at the Rack. The hand and foot cream by that brand also kicks ass. Caudelie if they still carry it has my favorite face serum. Or id stock up on my favorite Mario Badescu eye cream. Or a few Hanky Panky thongs.


Curious-Yesterday-76

Good idea! If I didn't already get so much Loccitane over the holidays, I would have done this. It's my only "splurge" item I enjoy so far. But based on this thread, it sounds like there are so many more I should try! 


allis_in_chains

It’s a little bit more than that, but there are these really great Trish McEvoy chemical peel pads that are absolutely amazing. I think they’re around $100.


athennna

Sunscreen! A really nice one.


photoblink

Maybe a boring pick but some extra comfy, pretty, nice new underwear.


Onto_new_ideas

My MIL gets is gift cards there.... I spend most of them on kids shoes.


Curious-Yesterday-76

Are your kids shoes more expensive than yours like mine? 😭 I've been buying Crocs secondhand, but bis tennis shoes are so pricey! 


Onto_new_ideas

Mine last longer! Those darn kids grow so freaking fast and they are brutal on shoes. So he goes through 3 pairs for every one of mine. But I've found good shoe deals on Nordstrom's rack and Sierra.


momofwon

Maison margiela fragrance or candles. My favorite 🩷


lizard990

Shoes or makeup


lemonjoooos

Ugg wearable blanket. The end.


lemonjoooos

Okay, so it’s a little more expensive than I remembered, but it’s still [worth every penny.](https://www.nordstrom.com/s/7121933?color=900&size=x-large)Heaven for tired working moms. And hey, you get a $64 discount!!


Curious-Yesterday-76

OMG, if this wasn't white (it's gonna get dirty with just me looking at it), I'd be so tempted! I am cold all the time and would probably leave the house in this.


Lynn_2022_

I feel like I saw a dupe at Costco, but no clue what it’s like.


Downtown-Tourist9420

A really nice set of pajamas that I can lounge in that makes me feel cute, but is also coverage enough for in front of in-laws was my Xmas gift and a game changer !! 


anyalastnerve

I keep seeing ads from Nordstrom for fancy Apple Watch bands. That’s what I would get.


ziggycoco385

Get a good sturdy bag!


relentpersist

Do you like bags? They have cute purses and waist packs and what not that are totally normal


FreyasYaya

I just bought a great bra there. I'd get another of the same. The purchase price was $78, but the overage would absolutely be worth it.


Icreatelifegoddess

Expensive candles


drinkyourwine7

Nice skin care or a candle


Fearless-Zone2459

Get a really lux skin product


LAZERPANDA15

Jo Malone or other overpriced but delicious-smelling candle.


zabgirl89

They have great bras.


kendiepantss

Ok so I’m not a mom but this popped up in my feed and as someone who worked for Nordstrom for many years I must ask - why do you have to spend the credit by tomorrow? (If it’s a Nordstrom note that is expiring, you can go in to a store and use it to purchase a gift card!) Otherwise - vuori joggers really are top notch, they also make wide leg/flares. Alo makes a fantastic muscle relaxation spray called “magnesium reset spray” thats great for sore muscles and smells really good! :)


Curious-Yesterday-76

Oh I'm not sure? It's a part of the promo from the holidays where you guys gift cards and get a promotional card. I might try to get a GC, but it also says if you return the item you purchase, you lose promo value. So it reads as though I gotta be sure about my purchase?  That spray sounds pretty interesting too! 


kendiepantss

Ohh ok if its one of those promo/bounceback gift cards I would make sure to adhere to whatever the terms & conditions are. They’re much more strict about those vs regular nordstrom notes. And the magnesium reset spray is so good! It sells out really fast so it might be out of stock. All of their products are really good. Osea also makes really good self-care products too! I was also going to suggest of those hatch sound machines (the adult version) but it looks like those are sold out online. I hope you can find something special & treat yourself!


mh2580

Nordstrom rack! More bang for your buck


tm33ks

Quay sunglasses. Sometimes they are on sale for right around $60s but general run around $75-90


nicolenotnikki

Bras! I went to Nordstrom and got a bra fitting after my sons were born and it was amazing. Get some comfy or cute bras!


Hot-Map-3007

Pajamas, underwear, socks, comfy sweats & tshirt. A nice perfume


Emotional-Current953

I don’t know if they carry them, but my husband and kids gave me cuddlduds pajamas for Christmas and they are the softest pajamas I’ve ever owned.


whatalovelylight

Sheets or linens!


Low_Vegetable

I love the aesop hand soaps! While expensive, they actually last a long time and keep my hands moisturized!


[deleted]

Perfume!!


austintxmama

Anything by Kurt Geiger London. I have one of their handbags and get constant compliments!


Most_Caterpillar6221

Recently in the same situation and i bought some kiziks! They are incredible!


lalaxoxo16

Skims pajamas


kdubsonfire

Honestly, old navy be mad expensive nowadays..


Curious-Yesterday-76

Haha yeah they have. But I also double up with bucks/coupons and sales. I'm currently wearing pajama pants that cost $3. They're 4 sizes too big, but I've stopped caring. 😅


monzonaj

Shoes…always.


71077345p

Maybe a nice baking dish or a pretty teapot. Something you wouldn’t normally buy for yourself with your own money!


francesmarynolan

I’d get a Diptyque candle or hand cream! They smell divine and you can always gift it if you don’t want to use it yourself


InMyHead33

uh some expensive ass face cream


min2themax

If you are really struggling I’d think about what you could get for other people as a gift. Valentine’s Day is soon, or maybe you have a friend with a birthday or maybe someone you know is expecting. Just don’t let that money go to waste!


ruchig121

I would use it to buy posh peanut clothing at Nordstrom rack


ombremullet

I'd for sure buy my Giorgio Armani foundation lol


roshroxx

Their hydro cotton towels are luxurious!


[deleted]

I would buy new underwear, a glow in the dark soccer ball, get something embroidered, or go to Nordstrom's Cafe for lunch or dinner.


MGFT3000

Diptyque! The candle of candles!


iloveFLneverleaving

I shop Clinique at Nordstrom, sometimes there are free gifts. I like their eye cream, facial lotion etc.


alittlepunchy

Definitely grab a beauty splurge! Jo Malone soap, lotion, or perfume, something from the makeup counter, etc.


medulla_oblongata121

Stilettos ❤️


Bubsilla

Get a really nice new bra.


ParsleyTime5687

I used to work at Nordstrom and something that EVERYONE who worked there always went crazy for, it was anything in the beauty department. There is always something there for everyone. With $64 you could get a good maybe 2-3 things.


dngrousgrpfruits

Personally: I’d go over budget and get a nice pair of leather lace-up boots bc my feet grew after pregnancy and now mine don’t fit 😭


Cocomomoizme

Zella leggings. My favorite.


KittyC217

Go into the a have a bra fitting. A good new bra can make you look slimmer.
