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!

But haven't you seen the commercials? Olay beat the $400 and $1200 creams and you can get Olay for $30. Actually, my dermatologist told me Olay w/ SPF 15 is fine for every day use. Just saying.

Sorry, but La Mer is worthy of that price tag. It's a miracle in a jar for the skin.

Maybe for you. I developed curative acne from it. When I stopped it, went away and never has come back. Definitely not with the price tag. And I spend about $150 for the same thing.

Creme De La Met was developed by a chemist who'd received tragic facial burns. He developed La Creme (and it does deserve all caps) out of a seaweed based formula that helped soften and smooth his burn scars. I guess the rest of the world has discovered its incredible efficacy, or it wouldn't have tripled in price. But it works. I know because I read it on the internet.

I've also read about this cream and how it's like one of the best ones on the market period and celebrities all use it obviously and it's recommended highly but who can pay that price tag other than the rich?

It's the sanitizer mixed with the scrubbing and aging. My 65yr old physician mother has very smooth very fine prints, but most print scanners don’t work because of how fine they are.

it's $2,475 at Neiman Marcus. I would rather buy 50 bottles of really good Champagne, start drinking again, and not worry about one single thing for the rest of my entire life.

Eye wrinkles are often smile lines, so that's kind of sad they don't have any.

My favourite beauty product line was "Wen".. When I saw that being spruiked on TV, I laughed so hard. The word WEN used to be a name for cysts that show up, protruding from the skin (generally on the face). Think pimples on steroids. Hahahahahahahahaba...

Actually la mer is the best of the best in products. What you see (reed on etiquette) is what you really get. I have some products used (really needed it, otherwise i wouldt have buy it) but I was burn 3e grade cause of a laser treatment. Thank god with this product of la mer I have no burn marks anymore.

The 3rd ingredient is petrolatum. Petroleum jelly. AKA Vaseline.

I happen to know that's been tested and doesn't differ much from the Nivea formula. Same results, basicly the same in a other jar.

Hey, you have money to burn, go ahead! AT 57 and you think you look younger, then I agree, you can obsess about anything that will help you look better!

It works. Have been using this cream for 30 years. I am 73 look 55. This jar is the large size 16,5 oz. it will last 2 years. A tiny bit goes a long way. I use it only on my face and neck.

Actually, I'm sure the "Dr's" prescription costs much more, so you'd be saving money, really.
