Mark your calendar: Nordstrom’s annual Anniversary Sale is just around the corner. The official dates are August 19–30, but you can preview the products starting today—and we’ve already started our shopping list.

This year, the event will have more than 1,500 home pieces alone, and the first items are beginning to trickle in. If you’re in the market for new kitchenware or cozy textiles, you’re in luck; from what we’ve seen, these two categories will be standouts. There’s a seafoam green Smeg kettle (your work-from-home office needs a tea station, right?) and sleek Bormioli wineglasses. There are plush organic cotton towels, as well as mustard-colored throw blankets for Netflix marathons. It’s a lot to sift through, so here’s what’s currently on our wish list.

Speckled enamelware feels much more special than a mesh strainer—you’ll want to keep this splashy piece displayed on your counter.

Red Wine Decanter, Nordstrom ($50)

A decanter is one of those tools that instantly makes any entertaining station (even if it’s just a corner of your kitchen island) feel fancy. This one’s sleek silhouette doubles as a sculptural accessory when not in use.
