Check out the Nordstrom Canada Anniversary Sale preview

It couldn’t be simpler. Starting July 19, you can get a sneak peek at the sale items by visiting nordstrom.ca/anniversary. There, you’ll find the available items listed — from brands for women, men and kids to home decor and exclusive beauty offers (check out our beauty favourites from this year’s sale here).

Making a wish list is key

When previewing the sale, Nordstrom Canada makes it easy to plan for which items you want to get. Once you find something you love, select your desired size and colour (if applicable) and add it to the wish list. The wish list puts all your desired items in one place, meaning you can check out faster when it’s time to buy! This is major because as any anniversary sale veteran knows, items can sell out fast.
