We Found the 8 Best Deals From the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
I will always have a soft spot for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I know, I know — it's just a department store. But during the peak mall-culture years, exploring Nordstrom's carpeted halls was one of my first initiations into tastemaking; when I made an annual jeans pilgrimage there with my mom in the 2000s, we exalted every cloched candle and linen throw blanket; we pillaged Brass Plum and the M.A.C. makeup counter, pausing only for communion: the storied grilled cheese and tomato soup combo at the Nordstrom cafe. If I close my eyes, I can still hear the live piano playing a jazz rendition of 'When Doves Cry.'
This year's Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is live from now until August 3, so let's waste no time in finding you the perfect charcuterie board.
This set of Viking knives is $100 off
German-made stainless steel is renowned for its high carbon content and durability, and this set by Viking includes all the essentials: a chef's knife, bread knife, carving knife, utility knife, paring knife, kitchen shears, a sharpening rod, and a set of six steak knives. If you're looking to upgrade from the Dull Knife Drawer life, this set's a steal.
Get $46 off this trio of Diptyque candles
As a proud devotee of the cult of fancy candles, Diptyque's bougies remain some of my all-time favorites for their chic graphic design and romantic, truly room-filling scents. This trio of its popular Baies (a blackcurrant scent), Figuier (a not-to-sweet fig scent), and Tubéreuse (a heady green floral scent) candles sure would make for a great host gift — but I'm tempted to keep them for myself.
This just-down-to-earth-enough serving board is 45% off
Leave your heavy-duty garlic mincing to a John Boos cutting board and dedicate this decorative-leaning acacia wood board to serving cheese, prosciutto, and snack foods; it's for those moments when you need to chop something small and don't feel like lugging out a giant cutting board.
This expensive-looking set of hammered glasses
This set of hand-blown glasses feels like a stateside alternative to the vintage-style glasses from the Paris-based glassblowers at La Soufflerie (no need to pay for exorbitant shipping from Europe), which always make me feel like I'm sipping my beverage of choice on a Mediterranean terrace.
This charming Le Creuset kettle and mug set bundle
Where was this deal during Mother's Day? No matter. It's always a good time to bring some of Le Creuset's heritage French swag into the kitchen.
Save $40 on this set of 9 Viking mixing bowls
This set of nine stainless steel bowls includes 1.5-quart, 3-quart, 5-quart, and 8-quart bowls, as well as four lids and strainer. But the winning design feature for me is the non-slip silicone bases, because I always end up sliding steel bowls around the counter during a feverish baking session.
Get 29% off this Staub bakeware bundle
The French cookware brand's most iconic, deep blue colorway is on sale for Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale in the form of a robust bakeware bundle that includes an oven-safe rectangular baking dish, oval baking dish, and a square baking dish with a lid.
The double-duty drink dispenser is a perennial must-have
You could fill one vessel with iced tea and another with water; one vessel with Four Loko, and another with Celsius. The possibilities are endless.
Shop on, my fellow Nordstrom hunter-gatherer — and remember, the sale only lasts for about two more weeks.

The AI Market Debate Is Old
Regarding Marian L. Tupy and Peter Boettke's op-ed 'Algorithms Can't Replace Free Markets' (July 22): Economists have already debated whether AI could replace the market some 80 years ago when they argued over the Lange model. Polish-American economist Oskar Lange's utopian—or dystopian—idea was to have a big, futuristic computer replace market dynamics so that an economy could be centrally planned.

Poland Strikes It Rich With Largest Ever Oil Discovery
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The discovery in Poland of one of Europe's most significant conventional oil finds in a decade has been welcomed as a step toward energy security in the NATO country. Central European Petroleum (CEP), a Calgary-based company with Norwegian backing, announced the find at the Wolin East 1 (WE1) well, four miles from the Baltic Sea port city Świnoujście in the northeast of the country. However, energy expert Thomas O'Donnell told Newsweek Thursday that the discovery was "not a game changer." Nevertheless, one think tank in Germany has warned that the discovery could come with substantial costs to tourism and environmental protection. When contacted by Newsweek, the Polish foreign ministry referred to foreign minister Radosław Sikorski's X post that said: "God probably really loves the (coalition) government." Crude oil tanks are seen near a cemetery a few dozen kilometers from Gdansk in Poland on June 6, 2022. Crude oil tanks are seen near a cemetery a few dozen kilometers from Gdansk in Poland on June 6, It Matters In a statement to Newsweek, CEP said that once the Wolin East deposit is officially confirmed it will be Poland's largest oil and associated natural gas field. With the potential to more than double Poland's current estimated oil reserves, it will boost the energy security of a NATO member on the alliance's eastern flank and diversify its fuel sources. What To Know CEP, which holds a 100 percent stake in the Wolin lease area, said it had made a significant oil discovery in the Wolin East 1 (WE1) well, about four miles offshore from the city of Świnoujście on the Baltic Sea. Preliminary estimates suggest the site contains 22 million tons of recoverable crude oil and condensate, along with 5 billion cubic meters of commercial-grade natural gas. These make it the most significant conventional oil discovery in Poland's history and one of the most significant in Europe in recent years. Berlin-based energy expert Thomas O'Donnell told Newsweek the site may produce up to 35,000 barrels a day which is "a fairly good sized well in Texas, but that's not a game changer" amid estimates that this would provide five percent of Poland's needs. However, there could be further oil to discover and the find showed Poland's commitment to find indigenous sources of oil and gas. Poland is a net importer of oil and so the more it can produce itself, the more it will help with the country's balance of payments. This has knock-on benefits in terms of the price of goods and curbing inflation, O'Donnell said. Increased oil production offshore will also focus minds on how to protect energy assets in the Baltic Sea from sabotage, following a number of attacks blamed on Moscow recently, he added. However, the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) has warned that exploiting the discovery in Poland's section of the Baltic Sea could come with substantial costs to tourism and environmental protection. DIW researcher Claudia Kemfert said in a statement that any accidents would come with high cross-border clean-up costs and fossil energy extraction "runs counter to climate protection targets" and so "extraction therefore cannot be recommended." What People Are Saying Rolf G. Skaar, CEO of CEP said in a statement: "We view this discovery as a foundation for long-term, responsible development of Poland's offshore resources. Wolin East is more than just a promising field – it represents a shared opportunity to unlock the full geological and energy potential of the Baltic Sea." Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said on X, formerly Twitter: "Sławosz flies to space, Iga wins Wimbledon, the EU predicts a ton of money for (Poland) and now this too. God probably really loves the KO-PSL-PL2050-Lewica (coalition) government." As well as referring to the oil discovery, the post also mentions Polish astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski and tennis player Iga Swiatek. Energy analyst Thomas O'Donnell told Newsweek: "This is not a game changer, but as far as politics is concerned this shows Poland's commitment to find oil and gas wherever it can." DIW researcher Claudia Kemfert said in a statement that the environmental costs "outweigh the benefits. Extraction therefore cannot be recommended." What Happens Next Further geological documentation must be prepared, submitted, and approved before extraction can start. Piotr Woźniak, former CEO of Polish oil and gas company Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo (PGNiG), told Euronews CEP will want to raise funds quickly and document the deposit so that it has full rights to it and the legal ability to exploit it. However, there is also a potential environmental challenge from a German organization, Lebensraum Vorpommern, over concerns about the potential impact of gas extraction.
