I support the above suggestions to this vexing and perplexing collectors' conundrum:

A.) Especially if they have logo Tikis that are the same than the mugs (like The Luau S+P, Mainlander mug, Hawaiian Inn mug for example) these mini totems should be displayed with their mugs (and matchbooks). That's one of the reasons why the Book of Tiki works, it creates this little world of ephemera around a place, much like Taboo Dan's framed assembly.

B.) The earthquake putty works, though sometimes it looks a little stilted to tack them on the outside or inside of a mug. Yet otherwise they just disappear inside .....so what to do? I have not gone that far, but maybe cutting styrofoam discs out that fit in the bottom of the mugs so the swizzles get raised...AND can be stuck into the foam, so they stay in the most advantageous angle (another swizzle display problem!) might be the solution.

Also, correct swizzle stick lighting is quite a demanding challenge. :D
