When: Launches Friday, November 21
Where: Nordstrom’s downtown Seattle flagship and Bellevue Square store

Plus, exclusive merch such as Bamford x Rolex watches and a custom-lined Perfecto leather jacket from Schott N.Y.C. Extra perk: This incredibly present wrapping-challenged editor loves that each gift is already expertly wrapped in one of five custom-created, holiday-inspired papers. Seriously, you just buy and go!
