Time for "Tiki @ Target" 2007. . . .

I noticed some tiki-ish items at my local Target today among their summer tableware. Nothing great, but for anybody who might want to go look for themselves (and maybe provide a few pictures [I can't.]):

There were plastic plates with two wahines and a tiki hut (with the hut actually labeled "tiki hut," unfortunately), and a similar serving tray with the same tiki hut and a male surfer; hula girl salt and pepper shakers (ceramic with grass skirts and a grass holder); various plastic dishware with a sort of hibiscus motif in a red/orange/turquoise/lime combination; rubbery plastic coasters with that same simplified hibiscus motif; a few small ceramic hibiscus bowls; and some resin coconut mugs like they had last year. There were also some dishes and glasses with blue and green fish on them in that same section, and some woven mats and baskets.

In another section, there was an ocean/beach-themed line of dishware and accessories where the plastic dishes, bowls, and glasses had a blue-and-white or blue-and-clear design of seahorses and seaweed and the accessories had mostly shell motifs.

I'll probably end up going back for one of the seahorse tumblers.
