The Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale, one of the retailer’s most highly anticipated sales of the year, is officially underway, and the discounts are worthy of a chef’s kiss. Some of the best Half Yearly sale deals can be found in Nordstrom’s underutilized home department, which, for future reference, is a great place to find deals any time. We once found an unadvertised deal on a Telfar x Ugg blanket for 40% off, which, if you’re aware of Telfar’s fanfare, is a rare find.

We rounded up the 10 best home deals from Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly sale, including 50% off kitchen essentials, 30% off on outdoor decor, up to 40% off bathroom necessities and more. And if you see something (or things) you like, don’t wait: Items discounted for the Half-Yearly sale have been known to sell out days before the sale is over. So get to shopping while supplies last.

This brightly colored beach towel will certainly stand out on the sand this summer. The Slowtide Shores beach towel features an eye-catching pattern containing all the colors of the rainbow.

A quality knife set goes a long way in the kitchen, which is why we recommend home cooks invest in this on-sale knife block set from German brand Zwilling. The set contains five knives that should be standard in all kitchens, including a paring knife, a serrated utility knife, a fine-edge prep knife, a chef’s knife and a bread knife.

One of the best ways to upgrade your patio is by getting a set of string lights. Brightech, a brand that is known for making affordable lighting products that look luxurious, is offering a great deal on its outdoor string lights. 

The Ambiance Pro is only available in a small size, which measures a little more than two feet long. The lights attached to the string are built well for the outdoors, as they’re waterproof, windproof up to 50 mph and can handle temperatures between -4 and 150 degrees. They’re also solar-powered, saving you money on electricity, and once fully charged, can last between five to six hours. 

The Brightech Ambience Pro solar LED string lights have a 4.7-star rating on Nordstrom. One reviewer wrote, “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. There’s nothing to plug in. I just stuck the panel into a potted plant. The lights look expensive, they survived a terrible wind storm with no damage, and they are mood-lifters, too!” 

Suck UK Luckies of London scratch map: Save 60%

Those who love to travel will have so much fun recording the places they have been on this map. This world map is coated in gold foil, which can be scratched off using a coin. This is a great alternative to using a traditional map to track your travels, as putting pins or making markings incurs irreparable damage.
