We all lead busy lives and can appreciate any hack that removes the hassle from the time-consuming tasks on our to-do lists. For me, that’s Nordstrom Rack’s Top 100 Deals List, a curated assortment of the retailer’s best markdowns on its most popular clothing, luggage, shoes, and accessories. It’s already proving to be a godsend for building up my travel repertoire and jumpstarting my holiday shopping, as the steep discounts and top-rated products make great gifts for travelers. 

Much to my surprise, the Nordstrom Rack Top 100 Deals List is stocked with brand-name goodies — many of which I’m tempted to treat myself to — like Tumi suitcases, Rag & Bone denim, Kate Spade purses, Gucci sunglasses, and more. They’re sporting Black Friday-level markdowns of up to 65 percent off, ensuring you can cross holiday shopping off your list early without going over budget. These Nordstrom Rack deals aren’t going to last long, so keep scrolling to secure the 15 best finds from this secret section of savings. 

Calpak Maie 28-inch Hardside Spinner Luggage

Odds are you’ll have to check a bag when traveling home from the holidays. To prevent any baggage claim snafus, upgrade your suitcase to a durable, easy-to-spot spinner like this majorly discounted one from Oprah-loved brand Calpak. It’ll stand out among the sea of black checked softsides and protect those gifts you’ve got packed. 

Tumi V4 Collection International Expandable Spinner Carry-on

Carry-on-only travelers, today’s your lucky day because the Tumi V4 Collection International Expandable Spinner is an impressive 40 percent off. The popular 22-inch carry-on bag was specifically made to be extra lightweight and features a three-stage telescoping handle and four spinner wheels for easy maneuvering through busy airports. Inside, dual compartments and compression straps make sure everything you’ve packed fits — and it even has protective bumpers on the outside to keep it looking Tumi sleek trip after trip. 

Rag & Bone Women’s Lori Crop Wide-leg Jeans

Rag & Bone jeans on sale for 61 percent off? It’s a holiday miracle. These rarely-ever-marked-down jeans have a relaxed fit, soft denim construction, and wide-leg silhouette for all-around comfort. Sure, $100 is still pricey for a pair of jeans, but these high-quality ones will last a long, long time. 

Kate Spade New York Laurel Way Greer Crossbody Bag

A versatile black purse is the M.V.P. of any travel wardrobe, and now you can save 66 percent on Kate Spade’s stunning version of the classic accessory. The crossbody strap ensures that your valuables are close by and secure at all times and the gold chain detail adds elegant contrast to the black leather exterior. 

Caslon Women’s Miller Water-resistant Lug Chelsea Boots

Treating yourself to a new pair of boots this fall? Hundreds of Nordstrom Rack shoppers gave Caslon’s Miller Chelsea Boots a five-star rating, making them one of the retailer’s top-rated styles. Available in four rich colors, the rich leather boots go with everything in your suitcase and can be worn on various occasions thanks to their sturdy rubber soles and water-resistant exterior (aka, you won’t need to pack rain boots). 

Bernardo Women’s Hooded Water-resistant Puffer Jacket

Another double-duty pick, this Bernardo Puffer Jacket works around the clock to keep you warm and protected from the elements, making it the only coat you need to pack this winter. The quilted, chevron pattern creates a flattering silhouette and the roomy hood won’t let rain, snow, or wind gusts in. 

Fjällräven Kånken Water-resistant Backpack

Nothing derails a trip faster quite like a waterlogged backpack, which is why Nordstrom Rack shoppers love Fjällräven Kånken Backpack’s water-resistant capabilities. Regardless of the forecast, it won’t slow you down and will keep everything inside safe, dry, and organized while you’re enjoying your destination.

Nike Men’s Form Dri-Fit Versatile Pants

I seldom say no to a new pair of sweatpants, especially when they’re as cool as these Nike ones. Their sleek construction makes them easy to dress up or down, whether you’re embarking on a long-haul flight or want to wear something comfy but stylish to dinner. The classic-fitting sweats are enhanced with a moisture-wicking, breathable fabric so you’re always at the perfect temperature. 

Rag & Bone The Knit Rib T-shirt

Just like a quality suitcase, a quality long-sleeve top will take you far on your travels. This massively discounted one from Rag & Bone puts an elevated spin on the wardrobe staple with its textured ribbed construction, and it’s ideal to wear on sightseeing adventures, out to dinner and drinks, and even when you’re headed to buy groceries to stock your Airbnb kitchen. 

Abound Women’s Cozy Crewneck Sweater

Currently marked down 59 percent, the Abound Cozy Crewneck Sweater delivers the snuggly comfort of your favorite sweatshirt without looking frumpy. The cropped hemline and stripes help it stand out from the other sweaters from your collection. 

14th & Union Men’s Trim Fit Stretch Grindle Solid Button-down Shirt

Finding a foolproof gift for your guy just got easier thanks to this versatile button-down shirt, which is on sale for $23. Its no-fuss style suits any travel wardrobe and everyday routine while still ensuring he looks sharp when it’s time to dress up. 

Vince Boiled Cashmere Cuff Beanie

If you’re really stuck on a gift, opt for something cozy and functional like Vince’s Boiled Cashmere Cuff Beanie, which is a whopping 58 percent off. It’s an accessory that goes the extra mile with its warm cashmere construction and secure-fitting ribbed cuff. 

Gucci 54mm Square Sunglasses

High-end designer deals are hard to come by, which is why I had to do a double-take when I saw these discounted Gucci sunglasses. Their slightly oversized and black squared frames flatter various face shapes without being too dramatic, making them the ultimate travel companion. 

Vince Camuto Houndstooth Mixed Media Gloves

In the wintertime, I like to have a pair of gloves stashed in the pockets of my favorite coats so I’m never without them. If you’re like me or trying to put the finishing touches on a gift for that hard-to-shop-for person on your list, Vince Camuto’s Houndstooth Mixed Media Gloves need to be on your radar. The leather exterior and cinched cuffs keep out the cold without restricting your grip, and the wintery Houndstooth pattern brings stylish flare to your go-to outerwear pieces. 

Nordstrom Men’s V-neck Cashmere Sweater

When in doubt, go with the cashmere. That has a nice ring to it, right? Follow my new motto with this smart-looking V-neck from Nordstrom’s namesake brand (and make sure to grab it while it’s 45 percent off and under $100). It comes in five sophisticated colors that can be worn with just about anything (jeans, trousers, slacks — you name it), shaping it up to be one of your most-worn items.
