Okay and I am going for TB. Tommy's does have some cool stuff. Prices are way too high but some of their items are nice. Those mugs are damn cool! At least everything isn't super bright and looks like it glows in the dark!
That being said, Target does have it's uses like for quick parties or a Luau where people are only going to be into it for the night or don't really care about the decor. Not allowed in my Bar though!!

I think you bridge the differing schools of thought nicely. Most here on TC have long outgrown Target for our own personal collections, and Bigbrotiki states it well that such is not really Tiki. Without boundaries, and historical perspective, Target-style could overwhelm Tiki Style.

Nevertheless, as an opening, both may have their role to play. I am undecided which I like better.

Maybe Trader Joe's is the best to indoctrinate the masses!
