I'm doing my part! Although I have no kids of my own, my favorite nephew received a bone pendant that I commissioned from finkdaddy for his 16th birthday. He had seen one that finkdaddy carved for me, along with a Paipo original and some resin copies, and commented how cool he thought they were. His mother reports that the only time he takes it off is for sleeping and bathing. He also is regularly subjected to our family's tradition of making the Enchanted Tiki Room the very first destination of the day whenever in Disneyland. We've had that tradition since it opened in 1963, and to this day, we all stick to it (much to the chagrin of my best friend who is sick of ETR)! My nephew has even asked for me to leave the mug collection to him when I die (he did seem a bit too eager for my comfort, however). He's not into exotica, and isn't yet old enough to appreciate a finely crafted cocktail, but the seeds are being planted, and I see a few sprouts! :)
