Big Lots Spring/Summer Tiki stuff

Pages: 1 14 replies

Went to my Big Lots today they were just starting to set up the tiki and Hawaiian stuff.

They didn't have much out but I looked at the shelf set-up guide they had and it looks like it's going to be mostly dishware. Lots of glasses and plates.

Of the cooler stuff they had were 4 different color large tiki mugs. Those were $3.99 each and a large tiki drink pitcher for $3.99. The pitchers came in green and brown AND...they were wearing colorful sunglasses and flowers behind their ears...uhhh handle.

I believe they are going to have a smaller version of the three stacked tikis (ala the Disney tikis). The sheet I looked at showed them on a lower shelf with maybe 36 inches of head room.

This here be one of the 4 colored Tiki Mugs at Big Lots. There was also blue, red and (I think) yellow. They stand about 8 inches tall and 4 inches across at the top.

The pitcher is about 9 1/2 inches tall.

The tiki thing sticking out of the mug is a wooden yard pick. At least I think that's what they called it. They are all wooden and stand pretty tall. In a case there are about 3 designs. One is a hula girl and I can't remember what the other one was. As far as I could tell it was a new case they had open and I only saw one tiki in the whole case.

can you take the sunglasses off?

Nope.Those are ceramic and attached as is the flower on the handle.

This pitcher is really more decorative than practical.

I've just picked up the four tiki mugs at Big Lots. They're not too shabby, except for the orange-colored one is a bit too lysergic (Thank God the Acid Lab is open!).

The other colors, cobalt blue, brick red, and seafoam are pretty cool.

And, for $3.99 each, not a bad deal.

P.S. Big Lots also has some fake floating tropical flowers for $.99, too!

You guys didn't get the best thing! Martiki rip offs! They have 4 packs of plastic Martikis in four colors! Get them now! I got a planter too.

I just went to the one near my house and there was no tiki yet. Should be soon I hope, the weather's finally taken a turn for the better.

I was almost tempted to buy the faux Martiki, but I may break down later and buy them. I plan to buy the planters, too!

The one near me also had big tiki stake lights. C7 xmas bulbs in 5.5" tiki heads that you steak into the ground to light up a pathway. Only 5 on a string, and no way to string more than one together (without some wire splicing, or using a different string of C7s). Pretty cool regardless. Will post pics if anyone wants.

If anyone's interested, the Glendale (or Montrose?...Ocean View and Foothill) Big Lots has their stuff in. A couple of things not mentioned...a tiki plant pot (has the widened tiki face similar to last years big pitcher that makes it look like a frog), a 20 buck 6 foot faux grass umbrella, and a ...not a boogie board, but the thing you throw at the water and run and hop on... in wood with a big tiki face painted on it.

Went into our Big Lots today to see if everything was out. It is. I picked up this tiki for $8.

It's sitting next to the crock that sits on the bar in Outback Steak Houses to give you an idea how tall it is. Maybe 18 inches.

Thought I would post a pic of what I did with the Big Lots "tiki" planter we bought. I just knew that a jade plant would look good in that thing. Cost about $10 for a good sized plant and it has been outside all summer.

MAN, 8Ft, that jade plane looks GREAT in there! And so HAPPY!
Mind if I copy your idea? (A long trip killed the Hawaiian schaeffelera (sp?) I'd had in my Big Lots planter.)

Sure you can, I think the plant really helps the planter look better. That seems kind of backwards because you usually get a nice planter to help a plant look better.
Anyway, Go for it & Enjoy.

Now that summer is long gone you can find some huge discounts on the remain tiki items, I paid $.50 for 4 shot glasses and although the mugs and hideous tiki with sunglasses were gone everything else was under $1.25. It's never too late to stock up for next year and you can't have too many inflatable coolers
