Disney artists Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily have been creating incredible collectibles for The Enchanted Tiki Room (and Disneyland in general) for the past couple of years. For the Tiki Room’s 45th Anniversary merchandise event, which will be held in June, they’ve pulled out all the stops again.

Items include:

• Rongo tiki mug (pictured), LE 500, $40.00
• Enchanted Tiki Fountain, LE 600, $150.00
• Enchanted Tiki Babies, 2 styles, LE 500, $20
• Tiki Figurines set #2 (completes 2005 set sold through Disney Stores online), LE 1000, $125

You can see all the merchandise in full color on Kevin’s blog. There’s also lots of other interesting vintage Disneyland artwork in information there too!

Disney merchandise artist Dave Avanzino, whose tiki themed checks were featured last week, also has a lovely series of checks, a leather check cover, and address labels in a tropical flower motif at Checks in the Mail. Personally, I like these a little better — the colors and imagery are clean, simple, and very appealing. I may give up on-line bill pay for them!

$13.99 per box for checks, $16.99 for the leather check cover, and $7.99 for address labels. There are discounts available for larger quantities of most items.

For the past couple of years, the arrival of Spring has also meant the arrival of cheap but attractively-styled tiki merchandise at Big Lots! stores. This year’s crop has arrived, and what it lacks in quantity over previous years, it makes up in quality.

The biggest (literally) item is the return of last year’s plaster garden statue obviously styled after Pele in Disneyland’s Tiki Gardens outside The Enchanted Tiki Room (photo to come). Standing nearly three feet tall it retails for $30.00. According to the plan-o-gram left out in the aisle, stores may only get one each of these, so they’ll sell out fast.

Other items worth getting are cylindrical, 10-inch tall carved votive candle holders in three styles for $8 each and 8 inch diameter planters in three neutral colors, also $8.00 each.

Although I’m a big fan behind the concept of the Fanning Reef flip flops with a built-in bottle opener, I have to admit that this aluminum combination keychain and bottle opener is cute, functional, and a whole lot cheaper!

$3.00, including shipping.
