So, it was just last week that we talked about the CRAZY items for sale this gift-giving season on Gwyneth Paltrow's "Goop" website.  For example, there's a $3000 Ouija Board and $45 toilet paper (then again, due to the pandemic, that doesn't sound so far-fetched does it? <g>)

Anyway, this item may take the cake for unnecessary outrageousness.  It's a lamp...for $300...made from an actual loaf of bread.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Here's the description: “Found: the perfect gift for anyone with a sourdough starter — or a love of whimsical home décor. Handcrafted in Japan, this loaf-shaped lamp is made of actual bread (don’t worry, it’s thoroughly coated in resin to prevent any pests from getting at it) and a LED light that radiates a warm, comforting glow in whatever room it’s in.”

Wow...just wow.
