Holiday Tiki Mug Trade-Off...

Pages: 1 2 3 116 replies

I got this new crazy looking guy from Sneakytiki today:

Its one I haven't seen around here & is definitely a new one for me.
Also 2 black CocoJoe's keychains & a stirrer.
I have a light brown keychain like these with a blue stone & they are great to attach to my vintage metal beer bottle openers.
Thanks a lot Bryan!

I'd like to echo the sentiment that this has been great(good idea again Bogie) & no one should fret over any of it. Everything sent is an extra that hopefully has added some variety to another's collection. The surprise and box at the door is really the important part of it to me.

Flip-flOp-tRipPpin... :D Got back from travel assignments, a bit tired and a crummy head cold only to discover a HUGE package of tiki goodies for me, from MY Secret Santa: Tikisgrl! :)

Got this great package in the mail today from SMGleason47! The items were individually gift wrapped in tissue and had beautiful ribbons and colorful paper, they were in a cloth bag with tropical prints of Santa on it!!! None of them were items I had! The mugs are gorgeous (2 of them!) and the extras were thrilling! Thank u so much for the items, the generosity, and the great letter and picture of your adorable children! I LOVE my mugs and EXTRAS!!!!

Thank you!!!

Well as the sendee, I can tell you he received the yellow guy on the left, the yellow guy on the right, the four coasters and the card with the pirated Shag print. All that other stuff was already his. Oh, and I decorated the outside of the package with a drawing of a tiki snowman.

tiki snowman...............cooooooooool........................

I just ran into my neighbor and he has been holding my package from closettiki. How cool I am now adding a couple Kahiki swizzle sticks (both the dark green and the lighter green, a slew of Beachcomber cocktail picks and a " Islander" 3 face bucket. Thanks CT I have been looking for one of these for a while. I will be trying it out tonight. (sorry my camera is dead)
This was fun hope we all do it again this spring.

Just got back to the office today to find my package from tiki-lee. A very nice Aloha Showroom/Paradise Cove mug and two really cool swizzles! Thanks, Scott! I'm looking forward to May! :D

Hodadhank had me and I was very pleased at what I got. First off, the box it came in was cool. There was no mistaking it for anything but a TC member's gift.
This way up < this way up > this way up ^.

one of the many pictures.
I got a voodoo doll ordainment. Its a little girl with green hair and button eyes.
I got a sea shell and Kava powder which I thought was awesome. I was asking around for this stuff just a week before the Send-offs. The description on the back of the package makes it sound like fun.
The main mug. I have a green blanket that matches it perfectly (green). Love love love Munktiki and its strange, but I don't really have that many. This one came out before I started collecting which was great too. Really one of the few tiki mugs I got and it started off my Christmas with a bang.

Thanks again to Hodadhank
