Avoiding tiki faux pas - General Tiki

On the positive side, I was able to visit Waikiki Wally's, Hala Kahiki and Chicago Trader Vics. On the negative side, I have not been able to focus on Florida Tiki and I owe a few people some e-mail's. Anyway, here's a dilima I'm sure quite a few of us have faced: A friend, co-worker, or relative presents you with a gift, explaining they knew you had to have it because it is tiki. Only problem is, it isn't. Instead, (as in my experience today) it is a shadow box from Pier 1 with two weird African looking masks in it. What do you say? What do you do with the object?
