Two to grow on: ($7 and $20) Protect your hands while rooting around your garden in Target's suede-and-canvas gloves. Then, show off the fruits (or flowers) of your labor in a pretty pitcher (also from Target) that can serve as a vase.

Sibling revelry: ($25) Elinor Lipman's witty "The View from Penthouse B" follows two mid-life urban sisters' search for love … and money.

Call of the wild: ($13 each) In hot hues with rhinestone accents and whimsical motifs, fashionable bangles have animal magnetism to spare (Target).

Short story: ($35) In a pretty piped print, the Malabar Bay robe (jossandmain.com) has just enough light-as-air organic cotton to keep you covered.
