Lush greenery and orderly rows of pink and red mixed annuals create a gardening wonderland at The Shed Inc., a complete garden center and nursery staffed by landscape-design experts. Along with shrubs, trees, and flowers, the center stocks lawn ornaments to help customers populate their ideal yard paradise and re-create favorite Night Court scenes with stone fairies. Shovels, pruners, and hand tools line shelves alongside fertilizers and fungicides, and a stock of topsoil and mulch prepares even the most barren landscapes to nurture new growth. A propane filling station also stands by, equipping grills to sizzle up some burgers or decorate a neighbor's pool toys with black stripes.:m]]

Pixelmoda houses three watch collections: the Classic ($20), the Ops! ($30), and the Wit ($25). Lightweight Classic wrist-clock hues range from grapefruit to bubblegum to mint and are available in three sizes.

The Wit watches, which are only available in stores, have artistic and attention-grabbing designs, such as President Obama, a teddy bear, and a baby crawling into an open manhole.
