If James Bond had problem nose hair, he'd probably ask Q for a Sharper Image Turbo Groomer Hair Trimmer.

It also sells through a monthly catalog and a thriving Web site. Its merchandise includes electronics, personal care items, and fitness accessories. The Sharper Image Design group develops "unique" items in-house, which it also sells wholesale to upscale department stores. Its product mix appeals mostly to upscale shoppers.
