Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024: 15 picks from a home editor — save up to 60%

This sleek set of pans from Viking — marked down over $150 — combines stainless steel (a chef favorite) with heavy-gauge aluminum for added durability and heat distribution, along with a titanium-infused, triple-layer nonstick coating for stirring, flipping and transferring food with ease. Ergonomic handles make for effortless maneuvering, and the pans are oven-safe up to 500 degrees — plus, dishwasher-safe — for added versatility and convenience. 

The brand's Nonstick Baking Sheets, plus Copper and pure Stainless Steel cookware sets are also on major sale.

This hearty set of stoneware from Staub includes three versatile dishes for all of your seasonal baking needs and well beyond. I love the rectangular dish for breakfast bakes and enchiladas; the oval for meat, fish and pasta; and the round dish for making sweet and savory pies (as well as presenting other treats). 

Scoop up the white set for everyday use, and cherry or blue for summer cookouts and holidays (each $40 off). 

Get creative with your cooking — while preserving counter space — thanks to this multi-tasking wonder from Our Place. It offers eight cooking functions in one beautiful, color-coated, non-toxic frame. Now $60 off, I named it one of the Best Air Fryers of 2024 (just one of its many functions) for its reliability, durability and convenience.

"I wanted something small and powerful — the Wonder Oven did not disappoint. It’s easy to use. I especially love that my breaded food can get reheated with a crunchy exterior but soft inside. I have been able to cook, reheat and bake," wrote a five-star reviewer. "Oh, let me not forget how cute it looks in my kitchen."

A good set of kitchen knives is another kitchen staple that goes a long way from day to day, making quick work of slicing, dicing, chopping, carving and cutting so your dishes are prepared to perfection and presented on time. This premium set from Viking hosts a practical assortment of chef, paring and steak knives — crafted of stainless steel in Germany — complete with a wooden block for safekeeping. It’s a great addition to your countertop or gift for your favorite cook, and at over $100 off, it's a prime time to buy. 

Viking has also slashed its steak knife prices for a smaller upgrade or gesture.

Le Creuset is pretty much the gold standard in bakeware, beloved by renowned chefs (including one Barefoot Contessa!) for durable, enameled cast iron cookware that stands up to high heat and the test of time. The Signature Iron Chef's Oven, now $150 off, is one of my regular go-tos for perfecting saucy pastas, chicken dishes and stews — and it adds a bright pop of color to my counter, stove and tabletop (shown in iconic 'Flame'). 

I also own and regularly rely on the Le Creuset Braiser, currently marked down to $290 (was $462), for both cooking and serving.

Last but not least in our kitchen category is this stainless steel water bottle from Hydro Flask, beloved by customers and Yahoo editors for its durability and temperature-preserving capabilities. Now 25% off, it will look chic while ensuring you stay hydrated — in general and particularly on hotter days. Bonus: thanks to an airtight cap, it won't leak all over your belongings. (You can also save on the brand's 28-ounce tumbler for a limited time.)

Said one reviewer, "These bottles are worth the cost. Ice is cold the next day and I wanted the flip straw cover for easy access during workouts. I tried using a less expensive water bottle that only lasted a few weeks because it started leaking."

In the market for a new beach towel? This vibrant, oversized, reversible Hapa towel from Slowtide will transform your next vacation into a luxury destination. Shoppers say it's "nice and soft" and a "great, large towel." 

I also own and use the brand's more subdued Gigi towel for the beach, as well as incorporating a little pattern into my bathroom at home.

There's nothing like a fresh set of sheets to help you get a good night's sleep — and these organic cotton percale threads are as cooling as they are cozy. Nab them in one of three shades, in varying sizes, for $30 off. (Last time I checked, they were selling out so I'd suggest acting quickly.)

You can also check out the matching duvet, currently discounted, for completing the scene.

If your towels need replacing (or upgrading), consider a set or a few sets of Nordstrom's organic hydrocotton towels. They come available in five shades, including my personal favorites, Tan Cork and Blue Chip (shown), for getting that high-end spa feel right inside your home.

"These towels are so soft and comfy," said a fan. "They are very luxurious. Best towels my family has ever had."

For a lighter, yet still ultra-soft cover, I'm eyeing this blanket from Pom Pom at Home. Made in Portugal, it's brimming with a subtle, yet still striking matelassé abstract pattern that adds texture while seamlessly layering with other bedding for easy mixing and matching. 

You can also throw it in the washing machine for easy maintenance. It's now over $100 off in select colors and sizes.

Can't forget your outdoor space! Set yours aglow with these vintage-style, solar-powered string lights from Brightech. They're a Nordstrom shopper — and Yahoo reader — favorite for brightening up decks and patios while setting the (celebratory) mood. 

My brother owns and loves them so I can confirm they’re super easy to set up and use. And he's not the only one. One buyer said, "These lights delight me! They work as described and create a festive look on our patio. They charge all day in the sun, go on at dusk and are off by morning. ... The lights look expensive, they survived a terrible storm with no damage and they are mood-lifters, too!"

Perfect your pillowscape with this plush from Barefoot Dreams, which features a muted pattern that jives with both warm and cool tones for varying aesthetics. Last time I checked, the brand's cozy throws were also on sale for those looking to create a cohesive look.

"Purchased in stone cream and a matching blanket. Zero regrets! I will use it on my couch for back support," said a thrilled shopper. 

I believe one can never have too many throws — yes, even in warmer months — and Ugg is known to have some of the coziest around. Scoop up their "Coastline" now in one of six faux fur shades and you'll be set when those summer nights start getting chilly. (This is also a great opportunity to get ahead of holiday gifting.)

"This blanket was given to me as a gift two years ago and my family has been trying to steal it from me ever since," said a fan. "It's as warm and fuzzy since the day I got it. I highly recommend buying two so you don’t need to share!"

Like cozy throws, quality jewelry boxes aren't always easy to find, and this one is one of the prettiest I've seen in a while. It has two, compartmentalized levels for organizing and preserving all of your cherished pieces — plus a mirror for try-ons — while adding a classic touch to any boudoir. 

This rosewood option with three drawers is on sale, too, for larger collections.

Add some light, airy ambiance with this Nordstrom-exclusive diffuser set, complete with a smart (as in app-controlled) Pura 4 diffuser and four fragrance refills. They feature four dreamy scents from Studio McGee — Wild Sage, Sea Salt Driftwood, Santal Vanilla and White Bergamot — each with the capacity to provide up to 120 hours of soothing scent. 

Looking for a candle option? I'm a big fan of Diptyque's samplers for lighting and gifting, now available in an exclusive set as part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
