I am pretty lucky as my students have been supplying me with Tiki "things" for years. Lots of them have wealthy parents, so they get to travel a lot. Whenever one of them will go to Hawaii, I am sure to get something cool. I have a whole table that is dedicated to gift tikis-most of them are cool. My friends for the most part "get it" and help out when thrifting. Heck, I just received two carved out coconuts last night(not sure what they are for exactly) from a woman I met once before at a softball game. I still remember this one girl (student)who just got back from Hawaii. She talked her parents in to buying me a $40 carving that still hangs in our dining room. Her boyfriend (another student at the time)was seriously pissed that he got a keychain. He held a grudge for a long time after that.
