The red one kinda looks like Wes's Shaka Tiki. Might have to get one for my mountain biking, just need a cycling tiki jersey to go with it!

I say mask off the eyes and mouth, paint 'em with spatterstone paint, and put a flickerbulb in them!!!!

Talk about easy projects with a big bang / buck!!!!

Wouldn't the bulb melt the plastic?

Well, sometimes I these bright ideas and don't think them all the way through...

But, a flicker bulb is like only five watts, and if you leave the top open I think you should be safe. Think of all those Christmas / Halloween decorations that are similar. But, yeah, to be safe, you might want to test it out first. I'd hate for somebody to try one of my half-baked ideas and burn their chiki down!

The reaction I got when I showed these to my honey was:

"Sweet! They'll fit on my water purifier!"

At least he likes 'em!

rei is a little more expensive than ordering direct from the manufacturer ...try
http://www.bisondesigns.com/catalog/water_accessories_282497_products.htm
and scroll down to the fun designs

update: if you order from rei and pick it up at a store, no shipping charge. If you order from bison designs and the order is greater than $50, no shipping charge. Otherwise, its about a wash since Bison charges a dollar more for shipping and REI charges 99 cents more for each item. The nod goes to rei since at the end of the year they have their rebate. whew...a need a big drink from one of these bottles now.

My sis picked one up for me as a gift. I just got back from our yearly visit to her on the east coast. The water bottle got me through a huge corn maze on the hottest day and carried cold margaritas to the beach at Martha's Vineyard. Thanks tiki you saved me!

I purchased 4 of the REI water bottles and 2 of the Target ones. I like the REI bottles best. A couple of my office-mates (who think I'm that crazy tiki-woman) liked mine and bought their own. Imagine my confusion when I opened the fridge in the lunchroom and was baffled as to how my purple moai got in there! I coulda swore it was on my desk just minutes ago......?????

Spreading tiki around 1 person at a time....
