Spreading the Aloha
Several Kanes and Wahines on the Tiki Central forum have recently been the recipients of Random Acts of Tiki from person or persons unknown. The very groovy salt and pepper shakers shown above were found in Scott McGerik's mailbox recently.
What a cool idea! Hopefully, there's a Secret Tiki Santa out there for all of us.
And speaking of secret tiki, please note that all of my tiki/lounge-related links have migrated across to the Goof's bottom righthand column.

random acts of gift giving, tiki or otherwise, are sweet. which reminds me i've been meaning to ask- do you have taschen's book of tiki? i have to assume yes...

you and your damned comprehensiveness!

The 2nd one was a gift from someone who didn't know I'd already bought it.

After recovering from my surprise at being the recipient of this gift, I realized that the sender had to do a bit of digging to get my home address. It's out there if you put 2 and 2 together but I've known people who could not find my email address on my blog so I'm always surprised when someone can figure out something less obvious.
Hey, have you given any thought to coming by for one of the Minnesota Tikiphile Gatherings?

Scott, I'd love to come, but I'm leaving for Germany this weekend, so I can't make it on Saturday night.
I'll keep monitoring the forum thread for the next gathering.
