Put away your Mars bars and spooky scary skeletons: The gift-giving season is officially here. The start of November means it’s time to think about what you’ll be getting for everyone on your list, before the late-November Black Friday rush and procrastinated panic-buying of December take over. In that spirit, we’ve discovered a pair of UGG slippers marked down at Nordstrom that would make a much-appreciated present for the dad who swears he doesn’t want anything or the brother who wears things until they’re full of holes. A slip-on style called the Hyde, these slippers feature an ultracushy combo of suede and shearling — yet they’re water-resistant, too. You can take your pick between espresso and dark-gray shades, both of which are 40 percent off, bringing them down from $100 to $60. And though Australian-surfer-founded shoemaker UGG is best known for its boots, its slippers have topped our best-in-class guides, so you can rest assured these will be worn all winter long.
