Online shopping is full of regrets. But it can be really entertaining too.

A few days ago, Lexi Brown from Minnesota made a tweet, saying "A hobby of mine is finding ridiculous items for sale at Nordstrom's." Brown also attached a picture of her best find yet—a Pavé Chair Bag.

If you also can't understand the purpose of this sparkling little chair, don't worry. Its sellers are as clueless as we all are. "Always have a front-row seat thanks to this sparkly pavé folding chair made in collaboration with lifestyle brand Myreality," they wrote in the product description. "Shown on the runway at New York Fashion Week, this bedazzled object d’art doesn't actually carry anything, except for a conversation." And people loved it.

The tweet instantly blew up, receiving nearly 170K likes and inspiring others to share their hilarious discoveries as well. Continue scrolling and check them out!

I have a cremation of my dads mom and it’s already creepy enough without any heads staring at me in the dark.

Needs moving eyes that follow you around the room as well as Foxxy (the Original) suggestion of the dear departed's voice. I imagine something like Billy the Talking Bass.

This doesn't look like an ad, there's no info or contact, just some random text under what looks like two real doll heads photoshopped onto some base. Why not old 3D representations? Most people who die are old? Why are they young and female? I call fake.

I guess if it was a bust, that would be better, even acceptable. But a cut off head of a dead relative? Hm, no thanks.

Let the person go. Don't imprison them in the Middle dimension because you refuse to accept their passing these are not urns, they are idols and the soul in them will never rest.

can you imagine, growing up as a kid, with your parents pointing at this head mounted on a board, set on the mantle piece, telling you, 'that's your grandpa'. Maybe that's the opening line in "How to make a Serial Killer"

I guess those who buy such a monstrosity do not feel photos and film are sufficient media to remember their loved one(s) by?

Nordstrom is an American luxury department store chain. Founded back in 1901 by John W. Nordstrom and Carl F. Wallin, it originated as a shoe store and evolved into a full-line retailer with departments for clothing, footwear, handbags, jewelry, accessories, cosmetics, and fragrances.

Some stores feature home furnishings and wedding departments, and several also have in-house cafes, restaurants, and espresso bars.

ADVERTISEMENT

Nowadays, no wonder Nordstrom has so many "WTF" items—as of 2021, it operates 100 stores in 32 U.S. states, and 3 Canadian provinces since entering the market in 2014. One location in Puerto Rico was in operation from 2015 through 2020.

The corporate headquarters and flagship store are located in the former Frederick & Nelson building in Seattle, Washington; a second flagship store is located near Columbus Circle in New York City. Its subsidiaries include the off-price department store chain Nordstrom Rack and the members-only online store HauteLook.

ADVERTISEMENT

Nordstrom has long been an early adopter of e-commerce, especially among its department store peers. That ethos will serve the upscale retailer well as it weathers the biggest storm in its history, which sent an even bigger chunk of its business online.

The company said at its virtual investor day that sales in Q4 2020, including the key holiday season, fell by a low 20s percentage, capping a devastating year in which the pandemic temporarily shut all of its stores and its clientele eschewed the fashion wares for which Nordstrom is known.

ADVERTISEMENT

But another big result of the COVID-19 upheaval is that the percentage of sales Nordstrom gets online has risen to about 50% and the company expects that to stick. Which may be the reason why people have been finding so many ridiculous items lately!

That's about $1.28 per tamale, not including shipping. The price seems pretty reasonable, but I wouldn't trust Neiman Marcus to make a good tamale.
