Target Tiki Nutcracker

I have no idea how I came across this, but it cracked me up (no pun intended).

$10.38 at target $66.35 on ebay 12.06.06 thanks for the tip my mother in law collects nut crackers, what better gift would there be?

Not tiki, but a Target bargain:

The Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer Abominable Snowman Christmas ornament (old-fashioned glass) sells at Target for $6. Cute cute cute.
I saw the same ornament at Macy's for $20 and some other spot for $14.

It's the one ornament I bought myself this year. :)

For some reason, my mother found it apon herself the need to give me a nutcracker every chrsitmas. Now, I do cherish the thought she put into it and I have never told her that I don't go out of my way to collect them. I just figured it was a small tradition she decided to start. I would never tell her to stop, because well, I don't want her feelings hurt. I have no problem with nutcrackers at all, I find them actually comical. But I suspect that this beachcomber will be sitting in my stocking when I go visit them this year. Looking back, I guess this is a good bridge for her to see between collections.

Hang on to those nut-crackers....the saying "Mothers know Best" just might surprise you.

I don't put up a tree at the holidays, but I do decorate with nutcrackers. It is a new thing for me to collect, so I haven't a lot, but get them as I can throughout the year. I have some big ones too that look nice by my front door. Me wanna tiki nutcracker!!!

That looks just like NoNaMe, but it's hair's not red and it's not wearing a kilt.

My first nuctcracker was a Schwinn Stingray. That bar was a killer.

LOL yeah, but the one in the picture doesn't have the "nut-buster" shifter like I had. Oh man, I learned quick why they called it that.

I went around to 4 different Targets to find the hawaiian nutcracker,and the sunuvagun was sold out at the local bullseye! Oh well,money saved for New Years eve!....

Oh My God!
I had the same bike! Minus the nutcracker bar(girlie version)
I LOVED that bike!
I used to ride down the hill lying on the seat while on my back...
or standing on the seat(no hands)
just call me "Evel Knievelette"
ahh, the innocence/ignorance of childhood

:D

Mine was red.

I found an extra one of these at a local Target a couple of weeks ago. Anybody wanna trade?

I got one of those Tiki Nutcrackers for Christmas...aren't they only supposed to come out for display at Christmas time....

I have mine in my office/tiki room. There is really nothing Christmas about it, so it will be out all year in my house.

I got one a few weeks before christmas and have been debating displaying year round or not, I'll probably store it so it'll be more special for the festivus and kwannuzakahadahnmus.

These are back on the Target website for Christmas this year.
