Even better, for a limited time, you can get UGGs products at Nordstrom for as much as 50% off.
The 50 best Christmas gift ideas of 2023
Brian Smith was an Australian surfer who came to Southern California in 1978. He was drawn to the region's laid-back lifestyle and believed his boots would be a perfect fit for the culture.
Smith placed a great deal of emphasis on crafting his footwear with high-quality sheepskin. Within a couple of years, he had established the brand and developed a reputation. UGGs became an unofficial symbol of West Coast living.
By the end of the '90s, love for the brand had spread to celebrities, and consumers followed the trend. UGGs became an icon of the active-yet-relaxed California lifestyle. In 2000, Oprah professed her love for the brand by featuring them on her "Oprah’s Favorite Things" list, and soon the entire country was wearing these comfy sheepskin boots.
The core UGGs products use a twin-face sheepskin treated on both sides to provide comfort. This grade-A sheepskin wicks away moisture and breathes, so feet stay dry. Sheepskin's thermostatic nature keeps the foot's temperature consistent. According to UGG, the wool can keep your feet warm down to minus 30 degrees. That means winter is a great time for UGGs because they help feet stay dry and warm.
And a third reason UGGs make the perfect gift is they are currently on sale at Nordstrom. Not only do you get a high-quality product, but you can save 20%, 30% or more.
