Okole Maluna!
This happy li'l guy showed up on my doorstep tonight. No, it wasn't a Random Act of Tiki from my Secret Tiki Santa, I ordered it from Hawaiian artiste, Gecko. This is one of the coolest non-vintage tiki mugs that I've ever seen, and he's a lot of fun to drink out of. However, I was a bit disappointed that there was nothing underneath his gen-yoo-wine tapa cloth breechclout but smooth brown glaze.
Here's a photo of the wily Tongaroan in his native habitat, and here are a few other interesting tiki products that various folks have hepped me to over the past couple of days:
Czeltic Girl sent me this link to a Tiki Bar Doormat (the rest of the gurly-gurl stuff on that site is pretty scary tho').
The Cartoonist turned me on to Tiki Head Tissue Dispensers, but I dunno if mixing mucous and Moais is such a good idea.
Urban Muse pointed me to Archie McPhee, which I've always found to be a reliable source for Nuevo-Tiki and Neo-Lounge accoutrements.
Strange New Products steps right in the middle of the Poo-Poo Platter, which has absolutely nothing to do with tiki, I just like saying "Poo-Poo".
And finally, here's my own creation, the Tiki Tick...SPOON!!!!
UPDATE: Mark Frauenfelder sent me a link to these nifty little Tongaroan liquor decanters he spotted while living in Polynesia a couple of years ago. Unlike my asexual mug, these guys have quite a package, and it ain't hiding under their breechclouts!

This creature looks like it's made out of chocolate.

Mmm, chocolate!

Uhm. Those liquor decanters... They gave me quite a scare. They look so mean and ready... if you catch my drift.

Yes, I catch your drift, Mr. Fontana. I wouldn't want to be around if those decanters got aroused!
