Tristan Harrison: Brickworks Limited (ASX: BKW)
Brickworks is a building products business with a trailing grossed-up dividend yield of 4.1%.
The company funds its dividend – which hasn't been cut for more than 40 years — from the growing cash flow of its investments division and a 50% stake of the industrial property trust.
The trust builds industrial properties on excess Brickworks land. It just completed a huge warehouse in Sydney for Amazon. It's also building several other large distribution warehouses for other businesses, including major supermarkets.
Pre-committed developments completed over the next two years will add $50 million of gross rent and increase leased assets by $1.2 billion.

Additionally, Infomedia announced the appointment of its new CEO last week following the resignation of its former CEO in October last year.
For the income investor, this company touts a dividend yield of approximately 3.5% with 70% franking.

Sebastian Bowen: iShares Global Consumer Staples ETF (ASX: IXI)
This ETF invests in a global basket of consumer staples shares. It has holdings from a range of regions, but mostly from the United States.
Consumer staples companies typically manufacture goods that are deemed as food, drinks, or household essentials. Although this ETF has a seemingly bland trailing yield of roughly 2.1%, it holds many companies that are dividend aristocrats, such as Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo and Walmart.
A dividend aristocrat is a company that has raised its dividend payments every year for at least 25 years. Additionally, consumer staples, due to their defensive 'needs-based' nature, can help to add stability to a portfolio.
