You can have your sun and stay in the shade, too.
LOUNGE
Hollie & Harrie Sombrilla
What: Leave it to a couple of Australians to craft the perfect alternative to the average beach umbrella. The jaunty canopy ($150) provides enough shade for four people and is 95 percent UV resistant.
Why: Cotton Sunshirts for the wee ones are all play, no burn.

EAT
Le Bon Garcon
What: Not all caramels are created equal. In keeping with French culinary tradition, the morsels ($6 for two ounces) are stirred using extra-fancy butter and no preservatives.
Why: Salted, macadamia nut, and mango passion don’t suck.

HANG
The Sheila Made Clothes Airer

Where: Online at ancientindustries.com.
LISTEN
Turntable FM
What: A musical chat room for friends and co-workers. Make your own/join an existing one, become a DJ, and take turns spinning jams. Deem songs “lame” or “awesome” and jabber all the while.
Why: Like you actually have work to do all day.
Where: Online at turntable.fm.
