If you've been stalking the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020 like I have, you know that there are hundreds of amazing deals on everything from fashion to beauty to home decor. But while the sale just opened to the public a few days ago, it's been open to cardholders for weeks—which means some of the most popular products have already sold out.
Fortunately, however, if something you had your eye on is no longer available, there are plenty of equally great options to shop. Below are eight of the most highly sought-after things that have sold out already at Nordstrom's massive sale—and what you can buy instead.
Psst: Keep in mind that some of these products may come back in stock as shoppers return them, so you'll want to check back frequently if there's a specific item you want.

1. Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Throw Blanket
The Barefoot Dreams blanket that Chrissy Teigen is obsessed with was one of the first things to sell out during the Nordstrom sale. Fortunately, there are plenty of other cozy throw blankets you can get at a discount, including the very popular Nordstrom Bliss Plush Throw.
What to buy instead:
Get the Nordstrom Bliss Plush Throw for $24.90 (Originally $39.50)
2. Nordstrom Moonlight Pajamas
Our Shopping Director, Samantha Matt, isn't the only one who loves the Nordstrom Moonlight Dreams pajamas apparently. The cult-favorite PJs have sold out in all three styles (full-length, crop, and shorts). An equally comfy alternative is the BP. cozy top and joggers, which you can buy together as a matching set.
What to buy instead:
- Get the BP. Jogger Pants for $24.90 (Originally $39)
- Get the BP. Cozy Top for $24.90 (Originally $39)
3. Nike Shorts
Of all the activewear out there, Nike running shorts are some of the most coveted pieces. So when they went on sale at Nordstrom, they were bought up very quickly by early shoppers. If you can't get a pair of Nikes shorts right now, you can get other pieces from the brand like the popular One Lux tights or this cute colorblock athletic skirt.
What to buy instead:
- Get the Nike One Lux 7/8 Tights for $35.90 (Originally $90)
- Get the Nike Sportswear Icon Clash Colorblock Drawstring Skirt for $36.90 (Originally $50)
4. Adidas Stan Smith Sneakers
Sneakers are one of summer's biggest trends, so it's no surprise that the iconic Adidas Stan Smith sneakers sold out quickly during Nordstrom's annual sale. However, you can still snag similarly chic sneaks from brands like Nike, Vans, and even Tory Burch if you're willing to splurge.
What to buy instead:
- Get the Vans Old Skool Platform Sneaker for $41.90 (Originally $69.95)
- Get the Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit Running Shoe for $120 (Originally $160)
- Get the Tory Burch Leigh T-Logo Sneaker for $149.90 (Originally $228)
5. Ugg Cozette Slippers
Ugg slippers are always a hot commodity—and during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, the beloved Cozette slippers were especially popular. While you can no longer get the Cozette slides, you can still get the Ugg Fluffette slippers which are lined with the band's famously plush sherpa and will keep your feet warm all fall and winter long.
What to buy instead:
Get the Ugg Fluffette Slipper for $59.90 (Originally $89.95)
6. Longchamp Tote
You might not be able to get the classic Longchamp tote anymore during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but you can get the just as popular Madewell Transport tote. Not only does our Shopping Director, Samantha Matt, own it but it's also a favorite of Meghan Markle's, who has been spotted with it multiple times.
What to buy instead:
7. Alo Leggings
Celebrities like Selena Gomez and Kendall Jenner love wearing Alo leggings—and Nordstrom shoppers feel the same, as the popular yoga pants sold out fast during the first few weeks of the sale. A great alternative if you're still looking for leggings? These top-rated Zella ones, which people rave are both flattering and comfortable.
What to buy instead:
- Get the Zella Studio Crop Lite Leggings for $35.90 (Originally $55)
- Get the Zella Live In High Waist Leggings for $38.90 (Originally $59)

Thousands of people swear by Mario Badescu products for their beauty routine. But the set of essentials from the highly-coveted brand is no longer available at the Nordstrom sale. If you want to upgrade your skincare arsenal at a discount, however, you can still get top-rated products like the Kate Somerville cleanser or, for something a little more high-end, La Mer moisturizing cream.
What to buy instead:
- Get the Kate Somerville ExfoliKate® Cleanser Daily Foaming Wash for $22.50 (Originally $38)
