If you’re struggling to find a Christmas gift for someone who has everything, an American retailer has got you covered, and it’s not a lump of coal.
For $85 ($114), Nordstrom is selling a stone wrapped in a leather case. Yes, you read that correctly.
“A paperweight? A conversation piece? A work of art? It’s up to you,” reads the description for the handmade gift. “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 continues: “A traditional hardening process gives the leather a beautiful ombré effect. Like all Made Solid leather pieces, this one is cut, shaped, sewn and finished by hand in artist Peter Maxwell’s Los Angeles studio.”
So… if you always dreamed of owning a pet rock….

A Christmas tree farmer has found and returned a wedding ring that slipped off a New Jersey man's finger roughly 15 years ago. David Penner lost the ring during a visit with his wife to Wyckoff's Tree Farm in White Township.
John Wyckoff, a third-generation tree farmer, was riding on the back of a tractor sticking trees in the ground in April when he spotted something shiny in the soil. He sifted the dirt and found the wedding band.
An NJ.com report on the discovery last week spurred a call from Penner's sister-in-law, who connected the two men. After meeting, and Penner confirming the wedding date within the band with the marriage certificate, the reunion was bittersweet. Penner’s wife of 42 years had recently died at age 67 in September. "This was a piece to come back to me, in her absence," he said.
