Ever since I began collecting Tiki, individuals have been providing me as gifts/ items that they feel would be of interest. In all cases I feel that it is important to include and display in the bar. The problem is that in many instances the item/gift/thingy is not appropriate nor is it something that I would have wanted for myself. (I know I am sounding ungrateful). I tend to be particular about what I present in the bar.

Recently my son, who is on the verge of becoming an appreciator of tiki (especially since I got him a Shecky mug) gave me for fathers day a dart board that he wanted set up in the bar. My son spent a lot of his own money for the board (for those that have children know that kids and their money do not part). My first thought is to go ahead and modify it since it does have wooden folding doors. I don't want to offend him so it is hung in the bar.

I guess this is a question for Ms. Manners. Has anyone encountered this before and how did they handle?
