The other unique carved tikis in Hawaiian gifts are tiki bars, tiki totems, primitive tikis, modern tikis, and tiki wall plaques.

The special Hawaiian tropical décor gift items lay emphasis on outdoor accent.

Bobble Heads Boggle Pundits

(Honolulu, Hawaii)… The only thing that seems to be bipartisan these days is the interest in President Barack Obama Aloha Bobble Heads. According to the folks at TikiMaster.com, a Hawaii owned-and-operated virtual retail and wholesale supplier of all things Hawaiian, everyone seems to want an Aloha Obama Bobble Head, causing political pundits to scratch their heads in amazement.
Whether visitors are from red states or blue, the Aloha Obama Bobble Heads are getting positive feedback as the only Hawaiian gift that causes even the most cynical to smile. Local residents, too, are proudly displaying Hawaiian-born President Obama’s Aloha Bobble Heads and Obama Aloha Dashboard dolls, promoting local pride and ownership of the nation’s 44th President.
Unlike some of our recent tax issues, the novelty dolls are easy on the wallet, selling for just $16.90 for a six-inch, handcrafted Island-inspired design of President Obama. The appeal seems to be that these are Hawaii versions of Obama Bobble Heads and were created as a collector’s item and conversation piece – a tribute to Obama and his Hawaii birthplace.
In addition to the Aloha Obama Bobble Head, a selection of Obama dashboard figurines is catching the eye of Dems and their Republican counterparts as well. Obama Going Surfing, with Obama carrying a surfboard and giving a “shaka” sign, retails for $10.90 at six inches or $7.90 at four inches. The ukulele playing Obama Dashboard Doll is $9.90 for the six-inch version or $7.90 for the four-inch mini-version.
Hawaii’s visitors and residents alike are making their way to the Tikimaster.com warehouse in Kailua, Oahu (not far from where President Obama last vacationed with his family) to scoop up this latest rage although shoppers should call first to make sure the warehouse is open. Also, folks from Maine to California and from Alaska to Florida don’t have to wait for a Hawaii vacation to get a presidential bobble head. Stay-cationers can still get a piece of paradise by ordering online at tikimaster.com.

Hawaiian Gift Ideas By Tikimaster.com




The habit of giving gifts, new and novel gift items, and gift ideas had proliferated and become global after the arrival of Internet marketing. However, gift materials and gift ideas of certain regions had been in the forefront due to their special nature of universal appeal and ingenious craftsmanship. Hawaiian gift ideas and gift items are among the most sought after products in any part of the world. Before taking a look at the gift ideas of Hawaii, it would be better if we understand the basic culture of Hawaii, where gift is an inseparable part of the lives of the people of this group of islands. The tradition of Hawaiian gifts had come from the Polynesian heritage of Hawaii and is blended with their culture.

When somebody is invited to a party in another person’s house, it is customary for Hawaiians to carry a food item like a dessert as a small gift to the party. The food offering in the party itself is part of the gift-giving culture. This had led to the donation of leftovers of party food items to homeless people. Similarly, whenever an individual of Hawaii returns from a trip, it is customary to bring back at least one or two gifts to family members and close friends and relatives. Such gifts are addressed by the Japanese word, ‘omiyage’, the Hawaiian term, ‘makana’, or the Samoan name, ‘oso’. At the same time, local Hawaiians will take local gifts or food items to friends and relatives in the places that they visit, when they travel out of Hawaii.

Another Hawaiian custom is to respond either with a gift or money when somebody offers a gift or does a service to you. Even if that person does not accept the money offered by you, you must at least make the offer. Hence, the practice of giving and accepting gifts is ingrained in the Hawaiian culture. At TikiMaster.com, we have made it our policy to help people follow this endearing tradition of offering Hawaiian gifts by providing them with the maximum variety of gift items and gift ideas.

TikiMaster.com initially conducted a detailed research in Hawaii on the various gift items and gift ideas that were available.
