If the mugs they have on their wishlist are mugs we don't have, what to do? HELP! Also, is there a $ limit? AtomicChic, you're funny... You have more mugs for sale or trade than anyone on Ooga-Mooga and you are showing concern for not having a mug to send. I'm sure you can come up with something. I just pity the person who gets your name. How will they ever come up with a mug you don't have? :) It's all fun I'm sure everyone will be happy with whatever they get, after all they are trading one of their duplicates, worse case scenario they end up with another duplicate. Merry Christmas

Some of us could be figured out by our location or real name, but I don't think that's the case for everyone. Just a suggestion. :)

S smgleason47 Member Calabasas, CA Joined: Jul 14, 2004 Posts: 101	S smgleason47 Posted posted on Sat, Dec 15, 2007 4:01 PM Happy Holidays HipHipaHula!!! Yes Kelly was my Secret Santa and although I threw her a curve ball (My collection is not on Ooga-Mooga...Yet), she summoned up her tiki mojo and knocked one out of the park. SoccerTiki - you can keep your gifter TikiMatt cause HipHipaHula was VERY generous with 2 great additions to my collection. I rec'd a SWEET Otagiri Moai from the Fireside Restaurant & Playhouse in Fort Atkinson Wisc. This is a great addition to my "vintage" collection. I really appreciate the vintage mugs but have more modern ones. I don't know why, but I only have about a dozen - so this big black Moai will look proud and bring some attitude to that shelf!! Kelly also touched on modern tiki with a Super Tiki Deluxe from Munktiki. I love Munktiki mugs and although I have 25 or so, this is not one of them. Have admired it on Munktiki's site for years but never took the plunge. So double thanks for 2 great mugs HipHipaHula. I hope you have a wonderful holidays and I hope to cross paths with you soon!! I will try and get my collection on Ooga Mooga before 2010!! Have a couple little ones that keep my extremely busy!! Great idea with the exchange Rick - it was super fun!! Michael G aka Tabtiki

PTD Psycho Tiki D Tiki Socialite The river Styx, can you pay the toll? Joined: Oct 13, 2006 Posts: 1857	PTD Psycho Tiki D Posted posted on Mon, Dec 17, 2007 3:08 PM Yowza, Went to the PO Box before a long day of Christmas shopping, so I had to wait until a few minutes ago to open my package. Well worth the wait...here is what I got... Nice letter with a cool message and graphics. Two "Pyscho Tikis Are Go" show handbills (hey, Psycho Tiki anything is killer by me)! Four cool blue Hukilau swizzle sticks! And for the piece de resistance; this amazing Psuedopots Poison Bowl. I have never seen one of these before and it is excellent. Great detail! In case anyone was wondering, the poison bowl will be in good company! Sorry to my buddy Kevin, but this beats the copy of the x-ray of the vibrator stuck in the dude's pooper you gave me on Friday, butt (pun intended) not even a close second. Mahalo to you JoneSey and Mele Kalikimaka from Psycho Tiki D (I know I am and thanks to bogielocks for doing a fine job with this)!

What's what's with everyone opening their presents before Christmas? :wink: Yeah, I do too... at least any that come in the mail. (And, of course, this is a holiday trade; I know not everyone is celebrating Christmas.) Enough preliminaries... Trader Tom did me right! Thanks buddy! The Tommy Bahama mug is gorgeous, the Tiki Boy is very special, the Kahiki swizzle and Oceanic Arts coaster are simply in excess! (I didn't have any of these!) Warm and loving vibrations to you and yours, may your kindness be returned to you a hundred fold!

I hope everybody had a great time doing this secret mug trade off. I had fun putting it together. I've even thought of putting another one together as a "Spring Clean Out the Closet Trade Off", maybe in May, if anyone is interested. So, ClosetTiki and Unkle John, your mugs are in the mail. Keep the pictures coming! Everything looks great! Happy Holidays! Rick

It has indeed arrived safely. The R-76 is one of those mugs I've always meant to pick up, but I just hadn't found the right one at the right price. Love the bonuses also. The little barrel shots are fabulous. I've got to ask if the monkey swizzle stick was a coincidence, or we're you mocking my notorious fear and hatred of monkeys? Either way, thank you so much. Packages on the door step at Christmas are truly wonderful.

C caffeinated Member yesterday Joined: Sep 26, 2005 Posts: 86	C caffeinated Posted posted on Tue, Dec 18, 2007 8:43 PM People don't like monkeys?! I just had several of the stirrers & though not really tiki, I thought them amusing. Those particular ones were advertising a pre-mixed drink: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_Monkey_(cocktail) You can always hide him in the back of a drawer, though if you don't keep him in sight he may get up to some drink stirring mischief on his own. Those shots seem to be pretty prolific around here but I only have found 1 of the handled mugs that matches them.

I think it's ok to send whatever you want to send, but I sincerely hope that people don't go overboard on the next round trying to outdo each other. The items I sent weren't extremely valuable either. I just tried to send them something I know they didn't already have and that I thought they'd like...and that I had extras of.
