Vintage Trader Vic's mug, Suck 'Em Up Mai tai glass, MINT IN BOX bronze "model 16" Tiki, hip HIP Originals tiki with gemstone in the opu, UNFINISHED Tiki Carver statue, Tiki Oasis postcards from years past, and some stellar swizzles! I'm totally in love with everything - can't tell you how much fun it was to unpack the box. A special note about the carver and one of the swizzles I'm dying to know the history of this unfinished tiki carver. Was it a mold test? Did a new guy in the shop forget to add the black dye (ahem, I mean "lava rock") to the resin? Is it actually a ghost statue? Such a unique piece! Secondly, lets all take a look at the Monkey Bar swizzle. It caught my eye right away - I'd never heard of the place, and it sounded like it must have been great. The day after the box arrived I told my mom about the swizzle, and she related a crazy tale of a 1970 trip to the Monkey Bar to impress her in-laws. I was blown away! Once again, Mahalo House OF Ku for the goodies, and mahalo to Liz for setting this up. Mele Kalikimaka everyone! Henrik "VanTiki"
