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.

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:

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.

Geeeze you guys are going off! I would have sent more if I had known how overboard everyone would go. The mug I sent is rare but not really that valuable, and my extras didn't add up to much.
Maybe I'll get a simple package to go with the simple package I sent.

It's the thought that counts...
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.

I got this new crazy looking guy from Sneakytiki today:
Its one I haven't seen around here & is definitely a new one for me.
Also 2 black CocoJoe's keychains & a stirrer.
I have a light brown keychain like these with a blue stone & they are great to attach to my vintage metal beer bottle openers.
Thanks a lot Bryan!
I'd like to echo the sentiment that this has been great(good idea again Bogie) & no one should fret over any of it. Everything sent is an extra that hopefully has added some variety to another's collection. The surprise and box at the door is really the important part of it to me.

I apparently have a shy Santa... No name just the perfect gifts! I will post pictures soon, had to shovel some snow when I got home, move the car for the plow and now I'm just too lazy to take a picture.
Anyway to my Secret Santa, Many Thanks for my new Tiki Beach Towel by Body Glove, pink that's Hawt & a great House of Tiki mug!
Yay! Can't wait for May!

Sorry Rob! I checked your Ooga-Mooga list before I packed up the box, and you already had everything else that I had duplicates of!

I was Kidding... I'm Happy with all the stuff. I have about every inexpensive mug out there, so no worries. I had AtomicChick who has 600+ mugs, so I know the feeling.
