Brookstone Converts Sharper Image Gift Cards and Gift Certificates to 25
Percent Off Store Purchase

MERRIMACK, N.H., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Brookstone today announced that
customers affected by the recent action to suspend acceptance of Sharper Image
gift cards and gift certificates could exchange them at any Brookstone Store
for an instant 25 percent savings off a Brookstone purchase.
Brookstone, an innovative product developer and specialty retailer of
gifts and lifestyle merchandise, said it made the decision after Sharper Image
announced on its website it was suspending acceptance of Sharper Image gift
cards, rewards cards, gift certificates and merchandising certificates related
to Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings.
Brookstone said it would exchange any valid Sharper Image gift card,
regardless of value, for the 25 percent in-store discount. "Gift cards"
include Sharper Image gift cards, rewards cards, gift certificates or
merchandise certificates.
"We feel customers deserve value for their Sharper Image gift cards and
gift certificates, and we're confident they can find a great gift or product
for themselves at Brookstone," said Brookstone CEO Lou Mancini. "We've already
alerted our Store Associates throughout the country to make it as easy as
possible to convert Sharper Image gift cards into 25 percent off a purchase at
a Brookstone Store."
Customers can exchange valid Sharper Image gift cards and gift
certificates at any one of Brookstone's 314 Stores nationwide and receive the
instant 25 percent discount off their purchase. This offer is valid only at
Brookstone Stores and only for a limited time.
Here's how Brookstone's Sharper Image Gift Card Exchange works:
Customers holding a valid Sharper Image gift card can visit any Brookstone
Store and relinquish the card to a Brookstone Store Associate. Customers, in
exchange for turning over the Sharper Image gift card to Brookstone, receive a
one-time, 25 percent discount off their entire Brookstone Store purchase. The
customer must make the Brookstone purchase at the time of relinquishing the
Sharper Image gift card. Brookstone is not honoring the value of the Sharper
Image gift card but instead is providing the 25 percent Brookstone Store
discount in exchange for receiving the Sharper Image gift card from the
customer. The discount offer is valid for all Brookstone products except Sony,
Celestron, Bose, Panasonic and Tempur-Pedic.
