Hopefully, by this point, you’re done with your holiday shopping. But if you still need a few last-minutes gifts for others (or yourself), I’d recommend taking advantage of the major sales happening this weekend.

At J.Crew, almost everything is on sale with the code EXTRA—I’m using it to snag elevated winter staples—while Nordstrom’s pre-holiday sale includes a handful of cozy essentials, with deals on brands including Ugg and Barefoot Dreams. For footwear deals, there’s Nordstrom Rack, and Kate Spade’s outlet store is the place to go for marked-down handbags—discounts are up to 82 percent off. As for beauty, don’t miss Amazon’s (unofficial) holiday hair sale, where you can snag deals on everything from shopper-favorite hair growth shampoos to Dyson’s famous Airwrap.

I’m also loving this classic V-neck sweater, this flowy black dress, and the fuzzy Lady Jacket. It’s elegant, cool, and enough of a statement that you can keep the rest of your outfit so simple—think jeans and a pair of ballet flats.

Amazon Holiday Hair Sale

Kristin Ess Hydrating Deep Conditioner Hair Mask

$8 Deal: Kristin Ess Hydrating Deep Conditioner Hair Mask, $8 with coupon (Originally $14)
$100+ Off: Dyson Airwrap, $490 (Originally $600)
Nicole Kidman-Used Brand: Virtue Flourish Density Booster Spray, $40 (Originally $50)
L'ange Hair Satin Néctar Nourishing Gloss, $15 (Originally $24)
BondiBoost Hair Growth Shampoo, $17 (Originally $24)
Pura D’or Hair Thinning Scalp Serum, $19 (Originally $25)

While not an “official” sale, I found so many great hair care markdowns at Amazon that there might as well be one. The retailer has slashed prices on everything including the famous Dyson Airwrap—in case you wanted to win the holidays this year—to a hair-thickening spray from a Nicole Kidman-used brand. You can also save on this frizz-reducing hair gloss and BondiBoost’s popular growth shampoo. And while on sale for just $8, this deep conditioning hair mask is a no-brainer.
