My mom went to Peru and all she bought me was this lousy Tiki |

Actually, it's made of stone and strikes me as being the missing link between the Tikiquest mug and a Cook islands statue. A great find in darkest Peru.
Thanks, mum!

Something about that lil' guy, he makes me feel in a odd way happy but scared at the same time. If Mom goes again can you pleeeeeeeeease ask her to buy me one?!?!?!

Hey, snap! Very cool!
Tiki-Toa,
Unfortunately, it was a one-off trip of a lifetime for her, so she won't be going back there anytime soon. She had an amazing time, so perhaps a trip to Peru, then to Chile, followed by a trip to Easter Island might be a trip worth thinking about for the more adventurous Tiki Centralite.

its fantastic that she found that for you ~
side note: my father in law came to visit us in seattle. i thought he knows about "this tiki stuff" but his light bulb clicked when he was looking at my Night of the Tiki book..and said "oh i have one of those in my garage, i'll pack it up for you"...yay.. another parent trained.

Talk to Mig, I think he has been to Peru a few times, and will probably go again. I bet he could pick up a few!

You lucked out. My parents went to Mexico and look at the "tiki" they brought me.

maybe they were just joking? of course, then you could tell 'em you're upping the dowry on their daughter ~ and to expect her back on their doorstep if they dont fork over something carved!
its worth a try!
