Brookstone, North Miami

Long before Apple offered customers a retail environment in which to interact with its products, Brookstone was encouraging potential buyers to experience its unique offering of tools and household goods, right there on the sales floor. The Aventura Mall location of this nationwide retail outlet is plenty spacious, and offers an open floor plan where customers are welcome to hang out and play with the store’s products before purchasing. Of course, there’s always the chance that listening to their noise-cancelling headphones in one of their well-known massage chairs will lead to heavy eyelids, but the amiable attendees inside probably wouldn’t mind if you took a little snooze, either. Anyone in need of a gift for that person who seems to have everything should swing through Brookstone, where the wide selection of oddities and electronic gizmos are sure to surprise even the hardest to buy for.
