We assume Gwyneth Paltrow has already purchased this $85 rock from Nordstrom
You know that person on your holiday list who's just impossible to shop for? Time to throw in the towel and get them a rock.
Department store chain Nordstrom is currently selling a rock with leather on it, also known as a "Leather-Wrapped Stone." It's priced at $85, but if that particular rock is out of your price range, you can purchase a slightly smaller rock, also wrapped in leather, for $65.
The company responsible is Made Solid, a Los Angeles-based business specializing in leather goods. Okay, Made Solid doesn't actually make the rocks -- shoutout to the Earth for that one -- but they do create lovely leather pockets for them to rest in like artisanal, Goop-esque Humpty Dumpties.
Wondering what in the world you would do with this rock? According to the object's description, it's pretty versatile: "A paperweight? A conversation piece? A work of art? It's up to you, but this smooth Los Angeles-area stone -- wrapped in rich, vegetable-tanned American leather secured by sturdy contrast whipstitching -- is sure to draw attention wherever it rests."
It does seem like a conversation starter, which is probably why a vibrant conversation about it is already blossoming in the listing's reviews section. At the time of writing, keywords associated with the item included "ambrosia," "eyebleach," "god's gift to us" and "incredible."
"It's not a crystal, but I could tell it was full of positive power and energy," one reviewer wrote, also alleging that the rock cured his erectile dysfunction.
"Of all the medium leather wrapped stones I've bought, this is the best," wrote another.
Don't want to speak too soon, but looks like your holiday shopping is done for the year.
