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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Please oh please Santa, please let some rich person give me boxes of paperwork just covered in enough of these gold paper clips—-that they never figure out I replaced with the lookalike brass colored ones—-for me to get out of debt and retire early. Please.

At this point i can just go out buy some silver and gold spray paint and just use that instead of spending my life's savings.

I get the paper clip, you know, if you were a pretentious twat. But the can? The can makes no bloody sense. None at all... none .at. all.

Most of these things are pretty tacky, but I find that soup can very beautiful and a real piece of art.

Who would need a paperclip for a bookmark? I made myself a bookmark out of paper when I was 10.

I have these in white, red, gold and silver. They aren't 18kt gold or real silver but they're big. I bought them at Office Depot for a couple bucks. The gold ones look exactly like this so faux your heart out!

The up-and-coming fashionable bride and groom needs a dozen of these cans to drag behind the Mercedes, because weddings don't cost enough already. Let YOUR bride know you REALLY care!!

I dunno but I'm seeing all types of business ideas on here. Apparently I was unaware that there are so many foolish rich people. I should have known.

We own, like, three of those oversized paperclips (we don't use them as bookmarks though, and they're not actual gold), but that sterling silver tin can (is it sterling silver or tin? One or the other, Tiffany's!) looks like the perfect thing for... a tin (or sterling silver) can telephone? xd

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.
