A tiki hut ornament is a quiet argument that December might be better spent somewhere warm. Thatched roof, palm shade, and Mele Kalikimaka on the breeze, it belongs to the family that trades snow for sand every year or wishes it did. Hang it on a coastal tree, a beach house garland, or the corner of the bar cart.
Perfect for: beach house trees, travel lovers, honeymoon keepsakes, hostess gifts, retirement gifts, and tiki party hosts.
It is mouth-blown glass, shaped in a carved mold, then hand-painted and glittered in the tradition Old World Christmas has followed since the 1800s. It hangs from a standard hook or a length of raffia, and it looks good all year on a shelf in a house near the water.
Group it with shells, palms, and other warm weather shapes from our nautical and coastal decor. Two or three together make a small tropical vignette on the shelf.
