Remember when The Sharper Image was Brookstone's only competition, except Brookestone was the more affordable option for electronics and gadgets? Well, Brookstone is still here, not located in every mall (Fashion Show- across from the ABC store, lower level, Galleria- lower level), though.
The great thing about this store, is that you can test-drive most of the products. I love trying out the massage lounge chairs (careful with the leg ones, those kinda hurt!) and the personal massagers (powerful devices). I have a couple favorites in mind. Many years ago, I purchased the small travel hair dryer at $29.99, which I still find useful should the hotel one be broken or unavailable.
The sales clerks are pretty nice, and the items are stocked enough, everything in its place, but not jam-packed, giving you that uncomfortable feeling, like you're closed in, with boxes from floor to ceiling.
Neat store, neat products, and a great place to find something on your gift list, you know, for that person who has everything.
