I'd also go the same route as Sophista-tiki, but that's just cuz I can make stuff and I'm monumentally cheap.

But even without the awesome DIY skills of someone like Sophista-tiki one can get a good Tiki vibe going for a hundred bucks.

Colored light bulbs (in one or two colors), a few small votive candle holders and candles, some decent looking exotic fake flowers, a good smelling exotic air freshener of some sort, several yards of burlap, a couple of hours worth of good exotica music, and whatever Tiki mugs could be bought with the rest.

Throw some burlap over your coffee table and end tables then put the votives on the tables with a fake flower or two next to them. Put the colored bulbs in all the lamps, get the air scented, switch on the Exotica, and fill the Tiki mugs with something good.
