My package from Bogielocks arrived a couple of days ago. He sent a Maui-Kauai mug and Xeno. (It's my first Rum Demon mug.) He also included some Hale Tiki swizzles, cocktail decorations and a fabulous Don the Beachcomber coaster. |

Hey Bongo, I really hope you get your stuff. But I have to admit I'm enjoying your sorrowful posts. Kinda cruel, eh? |

Was the BK the secret Santa for Bongo? And if so just where was BK when this exchange started, in Antarctica? :lol: Or who else could have been lucky enough to have us all wondering what has happened to Bongo's exchange? I can't wait to see what was gifted. :lol: Well I just went back an re-read this entire thread and I see now it wasn't the BK, so who was it? And where is it, could it be the one who went on vacation and wont' be posting until they get back. What's that 2 more weeks? I feel for you bongo, but like I said before, GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT! :lol: :lol: [ Edited by: tikipaka 2008-12-28 12:08 ] |

Although I find Bongo's musings very entertaining, I wouldn't have left him hanging this long! I hope you luck improves this week! Rick, I hate to put a negative spin on this wonderful exchange you've set up, but maybe you should take note of the offending parties & politely decline any future offers of participation or just hook them up with each other! |

I too find Bongo's musings very entertaining, and I've reassured him that his trade has been sent. I've been tracking it for a week or so now. I didn't want to ruin the surprise, but I have offered up the number to Bongo, but haven't sent it to him. If we do this again, I will tighten up on the shipping restrictions and not have the final ship date too close to the holiday. Cheers! Rick |

It IS a wonderful life! Merry Christmas Mr. Potter! Merry Christmas TC'ers! Here's my beautiful Beauce Green Moai from Brandomoai!-- All the way from Edmonton, Canada, through the cold, snow and ice! Thank you Brandomoai for the mug, the great collection of swizzles and for the Fun Of The Anticipation! This mug is gorgeous and it connects me in some ways to the first ceramic piece I ever purchased way back in 1976! Thanks again to Bogie for providing all this fun... let's do it again real soon! |

Praise the Lord! Yes, I was the "offending party". For the record, I did mail it out by the 10th, but that was still too late for Canada Post to get it down there before Christmas. Sorry for the weeks of suspense, Bongo. I don't know your back-story - is this the first ceramic piece you bought in 1976, or another Beauceware? Either way, it must have been fate. Now, it's my turn. Where's my mug... |

Aloha everyone and Happy New Year! I got home from Florida today after a really exhausting trip and found this sitting on my doorstep. Ya know you got to love my lazy ass postman who doesnt deliver the packages to my apartment complex office when no one is home (as he is supposed to) but instead leaves them sitting out in the open instead. I am so glad that it hadnt been stolen because after the trip I had this cheered me up immensely. Sorry for the group shot but I am so tired that I am heading to bed to sleep off this time change confusion my body is slipping into:
Brief run down.....coconut monkey bank (reminded me of the Kirby necklace), coconut hula monkey, trio of tikis statue, treasure craft foot Maui dish, some swizzles, tiki straw, 2 cds of island music, SHAG cocktail drink deck (love this and didnt have it so I was stoked!), SHAG tissues (I am sick so hooray for them!),SHAG greeting card which I framed and hung already in my SHAG corner, pineapple notepad, Henry Mancini record I didn't have, 2 mugs which are the ones I use quite often and are all chipped so these are nice replacements and came at a great time, and believe it or not a big thing of coconut hand soap which I inhaled a big whiff of to disinfect the smell of Florida from my nostrils and finally Last Supper mints and Booger candy which have nothing to do with tiki but which fits my kitschy/kooky personality to a "T". I really appreciate your thoughtfulness Tropical Icebergs. The two of you really gave me such a fun package to come home to after almost 12 hours of traveling. Hope the last few stragglers have received their gifts. This was really fun and I am happy to have participated. Now off to sleep ---I believe my bed is calling my name :) [ Edited by: leleliz 2009-01-06 18:56 ] |

They say good things come to those who wait! I picked up my package this morning. Just in time for Orthodox Christmas! Thank you so much to Mr. and Mrs. Tropical Icebergs for the sweet haul! My camera isn't working but it looks like I don't have to take a picture because Leleliz got almost the same package. Great wrapping! I think the only difference is that I got some great fridge magnets instead of the notepad. And not a single thing that I already had! Tonight, I'm going to try a new recipe from the Shag drink deck in the parrot mug with the tiki straw and listen to that Henry Mancini album! Does that bring this year's holiday mug exchange to a close? |

That's my vote too. The Easter Island Moai makes the swap just a little bit different. |

I already know what I want to give (I kind of skimmed over the rules to see what everyone got, and waited and waited and waited for)... This looks so fun, I can't wait for Christmas :) |

Just when you thought this thread was dead & gone, I'm gonna give it one last gasp. It seems tobunga has decided to end this thread with one big, sweet exclamation point! Some of you may remember, my mug showed up in several pieces, but my secret Santa, (tobunga), was so generous otherwise, that I was thrilled with my package anyway. Well, apparently, he wasn't so thrilled. Today, I get an unannounced & unexpected package. I recognized the sender immediately & began to get excited. I carefully cut open the package, (no rattling this time), to see what was inside. This is what I found: |
