Someone said it recently and it seems to be true: this is going to be the summer of the tiki (at least at Kohl'd department store). I popped by the neighborhood Kohl's for a palm tree bathmat and to check out the latest tiki stock and was amazed at the tiki merchandise
In addition to the tiki lamps, torches, plastic drinkware, and frames - they have added more plastic drinkware, wineglass and drink "charms","tiki lounge" coffee mugs, hula girl spreading knives, and more. Just about all the clothing is "aloha" motif. There was no getting away from it (not that I was trying). They even had palm tree/Hawaii photo albums and tiki "French memo boards". I'm compelled to buy everything I see that has a tiki head on it, but I had to draw the line as I was overwhelmed yet again. Hula frames, etc. were 50% off, but then again they're always having a sale.
and it's not even Spring yet!
