Located in Flower Hill, the Savannah Cat Shoppe features a large glass habitat where cat lovers can come in and watch the Savannahs play. Known for their dog-like characteristics, these cats love water, and are even seen on a leash or playing fetch. Although partially wildcat, Savannahs have fully domesticated personalities and are great with children and other animals, making them wonderful pets. (800/881-0006, www.savannahcatshop.com)

California is the first state in the U.S. to debut Pink Pigeon Rum just in time for the holidays. This super premium, single estate rum comes from the oldest distillery on the luxury resort island of Mauritius — the jewel of the Indian Ocean, and is blended with handpicked vanilla from Madagascar and the Reunion Islands. A delicate pink band around the bottle’s neck is an homage to the tag placed around the ankles of the spectacular pink pigeons that fly above Mauritius. The band is stamped with the words: “Peace, Freedom & Harmony” — the message symbolized by the rare pink pigeons. (www.pinkpigeonrum.com)
