The Always Interesting Brookstone

My Chinese firend Alex once worked in Brookstone 3 years ago. As he decribed, "Brookstone is a store where rich people and boring people spend there extra bucks for fun." 
 That was the first time I got to know Brookstone since I came to the U.S.Despite the fact that this description is biased, I somehow agree with his point because I also think many of Brookstone products are over priced. As a result, I almost go to Brookstone everytime I shop in the mall but much less frequently make a purchase.

However, I am a strong beliver of "gold for good", especially for ideas. So I think if I got rich someday, I will probably do a lot shopping in this place. The following is the interesting Brookstone products on my list. It is not in a particualr ranking order. The reason I put them here is just because of their smart design and interesting creation: (some of the descriptions are directly from Brookstone's website)

1. Mobile Mini Speaker: It is a portable speaker that can plug into any earphone plugs. Even though it is a new product for Brookstone, it is not necessarily new to the world. However, Brookstone really makes it look cute, modernized and smart.


2. This is called n'ICE Cubes

Because n’ICE Cubes will never melt and dilute your drinks. Simply place in the freezer for a few hours, then slip a handful into a glass and pour on your favorite potent potable, like a top-shelf single malt. In minutes, your drink is nicely chilled—and full strength. Afterwards, just rinse, dry and replace the stones in the freezer for next time.

3.This is called eComfort

Web surf, write and work anywhere.
Keeps you and your laptop cool and comfortable. Use it with your tablet, too! Perfect for on the couch, in bed…wherever you want. Angled work surface has a curved top, slanted cushion for comfortable emailing, Web surfing, reading or writing and more. Once done, grab the handle/cable pass-through and go. Only at Brookstone.
