Why do I need this list?

Okay, let's get started! The very best and very trickiest part about the sale of all sales is that a lot of the items are brand new, and only on sale for a few weeks or until they sell out!

Things do sell out (sometimes on the very first day) because the prices are that good. These Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025 picks are all the items that we think pose the very highest sell out risk! These are ALL the things that, if you've got your eye on, you should buy very first before they have a chance to sell out.

If they do sell out, we'll be updating you on any Nordstrom Anniversary Sale restocks in our Complete Guide here.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale What to buy first

Top Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025 picks: HIGH sell out risk

  1. Beis duffle: $114.99 (reg. $158) – A duffel bag that's truly WORTH. THE. HYPE. This bag is multi-functional and a bag you’ll be reaching for every trip. Organization's super easy to achieve with this bag while also having room for everything (no really, they thought of everything with this bag). Places for your laptop, an exterior zipper pocket, crossbody strap, and something to set it on top of luggage – we’re living for the functionality and amazinggg color this year!
  2. AG classic mid rise jeans: $163.99 (reg. $245) – These are one of the MOST popular women’s designer denim brands right now and at this price they’re some of the best bang for your buck during the sale too!
  3. Nike Air Force 1: $79.99 (reg. $115) -A little less pricey and SO TRENDY! My brother (a TOTAL authority in the sneakerhead community) talked me into buying my first pair a while back., and we just had a DEEP discussion a week ago about how Nike AF1s will forever be a timeless shoe. Zero trendiness risk purchase. I got the classic white first, then a leopard print (now sold out everywhere) and I loveee them. I can bring 1 pair on a vaca and wear them with basically every outfit. I’ve been watching for a different colorway and I'm going to have a hard time choosing between the 3 available this year when I go to buy another pair. You seriously can’t go wrong with these sneakers as a staple in your wardrobe!
  4. Birkenstock big buckle: $109.99 (reg. $170) – This is only the third year that Birkenstock is joining the Anniversary Sale family! They’re ALL THE RAGE right now so don’t be shocked when these fly off the shelves.
  5. Moonlight rib pajamas: $49.99 (reg. $79) – We are HUGE fans of this brand of pajamas over here and this new style is to die for! These pjs are known for being super soft and extremely comfy, and this new ribbed fabric is next level.
  6. Living Proof dry shampoo:  $42 (retail value $60)- This set includes our very favorite dry shampoo (the #1 selling dry shampoo on the planet!). The Living Proof brand was designed by MIT scientists to give you thicker, healthier, more beautiful hair every single day. If you’re trying not to wash you hair too often, this set is for you because Living Proof is proven to keep hair cleaner longer!
  7. Pink Adidas SL 72: $79.99 (reg. $100) – Here's your warning that these pink adidas will FLY off the shelves this year!! If your size is still in stock when your access opens, don't hesitate to checkout ASAP.
  8. Dyson V15 cordless vacuum: $559.99 (reg. $749.99) – What makes the Dyson V15 Detect a game-changer? It’s equipped with laser detect technology, comes with two batteries and two filter, has a detangling motorbar, adapts to different flooring throughout your home…and so much more. Plus this deal comes with a variety of tools! This is an EVEN BETTER deal than the Prime Day deal!
  9. Anti-aging shampoo and conditioner: $80 (retail value $137) – My cosmetologist friend told me this shampoo helps with gray hair, and I feel like it totally does help! I definitely noticed a difference in between root touch ups that my grays are less noticeable. It went viral after I shared it recently and SOLD OUT, so I am so excited to see it come back in stock for Nsale and predict it will go fast again!
  10. Most comfortable Natori bra: $48.99 (reg. $74) – This Natori bra is super dreamy and just disappears under clothing, and has 1,700 perfect or nearly perfect reviews. Plus, it's so comfortable it's like being Team No Bra, but better!
  11. Doona stroller: $449.99 (reg. $600) – This Doona Car Seat/Compact stroller was for sure my favorite mom gear item as a 5th time mom I can only ask myself why we didn’t get it sooner!? This compact stroller turned car seat is so useful, you can easily pop the baby in and out without having to worry about a clunky stroller and then carrying a heavy car seat. If you have travel plans or want a lightweight and seamless way to safely move your infant around – grab this while the sale lasts!
  12. Free People cardigan $99.99 (reg. $148) – If fall had a love language, it would be the this cardigan. Total closet MVP and such a good price during Nsale!! This one disappeared SO FAST last year that I didn't even end up promoting it once the sale went live, it sold out that fast.
