BELLEVUE, WA — The hot new item this Christmas season isn't a Tickle-Me-Elmo or iPhone 7, it's a rock. Nordstrom is selling rocks in two pricey versions this Christmas, but they're all sold out. There's the big-ticket $85 rock, but it comes in a smaller, less expensive $65 version. The rocks come wrapped in "vegetable-tanned leather" secured by "sturdy contrast backstitching"

But what do you do with the rock? Nordstrom leaves that up to you. It can be a paper weight or a conversation piece, according to the website copy. For example, you could talk about how you were one of the lucky few to get an $85 rock before they all sold out.

To its credit, the manufacturer of the leather-wrapped rock, Made Solid, is very serious about its products, which range from necklaces to dog collars. All its products are handmade in Los Angeles using vintage tools and traditional saddle-making techniques.

Although the rocks are sold out online, CNN Money reported that there are still a few available at the Nordstrom store along Michigan Avenue in Chicago. There's still time to get there and back before Christmas.
