Tiki gift basket ideas needed....

Pages: 1 3 replies

Hey Gang,

This year at work we are giving gift baskets for holiday gifts. I want to create a Polynesian/Tiki style gift basket to give away and I'm looking for ideas. There's a $25 cap on it, but I'm not worried about going over. Hopefully it may make a new Tiki enthusiast, who knows.

I have some ideas, but would like some input for this creative crowd.

Mahalo!

If you're doing multiple mugs, then buying a bulk lot from Dynasty is a cheap way to go.
Otherwise, I think the plain black matte unlabeled Moai mug is a great center piece that can often be had for a sub $10.00 price.
Other stuff
Drink umbrellas.
Mini "airplane sized" rums
Party America or other party stores occasionally sells a seed lei that is decent
CostPlus has small lauhala like woven baskets.
Hawaiian Host Chocalate macadamia nuts
Tiki Lighter with glowing eyes
Some monkey pod dish
SHAG stickers and or Note cards
A small set of your favorite drink recipes in a tiny book (like apple books or blurb)
Cocktail Flavored jelly beans with combination suggestions for tiki drink flavors (e.g. a coconut jelly belly plus a mojito jelly bean plus a apricot or peach jelly belly eaten together equals a Missionary's Downfall)
Mini 8oz cocktail shaker
Excelsior packing
any number of cool keychains made by folks on TC

My wife & I do baskets every year for family with homemade jams & jellies, pickles, etc. You could make your own signature cocktail mix & can it. So not just your favorite recipes, but your cocktails (alcohol to be mixed on site) direct from your home tiki bar.

If you have a Hilo Hattie store near you check it out. You could really fill up a basket with all sorts for goodies for $25 there. They have a website too but it does not have everything the stores do. Still a good selection at reasonable prices though.

There is also the ABC stores!
