International Tiki hit these shores today all the way from Calgary, Canada.
It looks to be an Orchidy day here in Cave Country.
To begin setting the mood we have music from the Kodak Hula Show, various swizzles and postcards from the Pacific and one featuring a Mermaid from Montana. Also napkins to help keep the party tidy.
After this we can get down to business with our first mug.
This seems to be [or be based upon] an Orchids of Hawaii R-5. No markings and much of the detail has been lost, maybe due to using an older mold? Still, some mean eyes - definitely take your potations seriously with this dude.
Next up, don't you dare judge him by his size, he's the hearty, stout, Unnumbered Short Ku from Orchids of Hawaii! He looks like he will help you get tanked without actually going to Montana.
And finally, we have these colorful plastic tiki containers; from port to Kool-Aid, these glasses will always leave you with a smile on their face.
This shipment seemed professionally packed with not one ding or dang. Wish I could say that for my own shipping job. Mahalo, Slacks Ferret, for sending your Aloha Spirit among the hills, holes, and hollers of South Central KY.

Ukutiki, listen to it at your own risk. Just had to put a disclaimer out there, because nothing says tiki like Billy Ocean's Caribbean Queen!

Whoohoo! I feel like Eric October spoiled me. A lot of amazing original pieces. I love it all! However, I think Derek Mitchell thinks he's keeping it all and he's sadly mistaken. THANK YOU, ERIC!!

Mahalo Tiki Long Beach, I almost feel bad that you spent the money on postage since we are neighbors. I mean literally down the street spitting distance neighbors. I waited for Pineapple Princess to come home and I heard her gasp as she unearthed the Big Toe artwork while I unwrapped the well packaged items. The mugs are super cool and I dig the swizzles. The Hawaii sticker was icing on the cake. Now that you have my address feel free to come over for a mai tai!

Mongoloid, I'm glad you like your swap swag. I did think about dropping it on your front step, but didn't know if that would be ok.
The sticker came from Project Aloha. Whenever you order a hoodie or t-shirt from them they give you a handful of interesting stickers.

My box from Sheffield (England or Canada?) has arrived safely. Tomorrow is Dan's birthday. He will open it and then I'll have photos to post. Thank you (I need TC name) until then, Wendy

Pete from Ragbag Comics did an AMAZING job with my swap gifts! I mean absolutely FREAKING amazing! The creativity of people on TC continues to amaze me. Check it out.!
I opened my box and found this:
Then I found 4 boxes inside the big box. 
(everything was amazingly well packaged.)
Here was the load:
And another sketch detailing everything I received!
 and a poster from Fongfest (Pete drew that too, how cool is that!)
In case you can't see I received 2 Orchids of Hawaii mugs, a Foundation Bar Mai Tai glass, a 1952 Ron Rico Rum promo mug, coasters, matches, the motherload of swizzles and the Fong Fest poster.
WAY COOL!
Mahalo Pete! Mahalo!!!!
