NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The holiday shopping season is off to a flying start, quite literally, with the opening of the first-ever Sharper Image® pop-up shop in Times Square, built to bring the wow, the wonder and the joy back to gifting by inviting hands-on, try-before-you buy experiences. That whir over your head? Sharper Image drones navigating an aerial obstacle course. That impishly grinning kid-at-heart over in the next aisle? Thank the snap-on gadget that turned her smartphone into a VR viewer.

The two-story pop-up at 4 Times Square returns Sharper Image to retail this holiday season, inviting New Yorkers and visitors from across the country, and around the world, to Shop Sharper by offering a curated selection of premium gifts for play and the home, at prices worth celebrating.
