I've always liked gadgets of marginal utility as status-symbols; if
for no other reason than to irritate others into writing emails to me
-- I'm lonely that way ;-))

Here are the last two purchases I've made from Brookstone -- both
absolutely useless to others, but quite useful to me.
Nail scissors: The best scissors I've ever used in my decades of
life. Too bad I didn't find them earlier, if they even made them.

The best neck pillow I've ever had --

I'm too busy looking for more of these Brookstone products to have
time to make tiny url's - but it really doesn't matter as only
forthcoming harrumph posts would be on the way.

DH has instructions to buy me a Brookstone product at least once a
month, so my self-esteem will hover around the 100% mark at all
times. Let me see -- I'm going to have to go to the storage area and
see if there are a few Brookstone items that I could post at eBay.
Watch for them!
