I love the thought of packaging as much as content. Which brings me to my two fabulous swappers: Both Naneki and Mrs.TikiPug brought lots of tiki joy into my life yesterday. And both styled out the gift items for maximum impact which highly impressed the packaging nut in me. First up, "The Native Collection" from Naneki... Along with the great Polynesian Pub souvenir bamboo mug and The Warehouse Restaurant rum barrel did arrive, not just one, but two Tiki Farm 10th Anniversary Compendia together with an artful companion postcard. Also happily received: a coaster set with caddy, a carved pineapple dish, a pretty shell necklace and way-cool "copyrighted (wtf?)" vintage carved tiki fork/spoon set. Best of all , Naneki topped it off with a thoughtful offer of acquisition assistance which is the epitome of tiki grace. Many, many thanks. And last but not least, "The Island Brights Collection" from Mrs.TikiPug... Tiki Farm for Frankie's Tiki Room Malekula II and OMC Geisha Mug popped out of a box full of color and cool stuff including a CD, matches, Mai Kai postcard, a swingin' decal, Shag exhibition postcard, Doug Horne postcard, a cute little wooden guitar dish, and tons of cocktail tchotchkes-- love the long pitcher stirrer and the little tiny devil... So bright, so cheerful right down to the Shag notecard. My collection lives in my very colorful home office here in sunny, sunny Miami Beach so your goodies are right at home with me. Ya done good, Ma. Big thanks.
