Tropical Gift Ideas

December 4th, 2009

The holidays are that time of year when spirits are lifted by jolly music and memories with loved ones are made.  As much as the holidays are meant for a time of joy, there are stresses that accompany the festive season such as figuring out what to buy and where to get it.  December is always one of those months with not enough days to stop at the store to get everything you intend to pick up.

What we did is put together some of our own and some of our customer product favorites to compile a list of gift ideas this season.

Bamboo Rug

Available in four different sizes, this rug is versatile for both indoor and outdoor uses.  Made out of eco-friendly bamboo and bound by a canvas backing, this rug is constructed to easily roll up or out for easy placement and mobility.  The best part is that it is a grand gift that won’t put too much of a dent in your wallet.  You can grab our smallest size, 24″W x 36″L for only $15.99.

Tiki Statue

Tiki Statues are the type of gifts that keep giving in many ways.  Similarly to how a great coffee table book or piece of wall art contributes character to an area, Tiki statues spark conversation and add a tropical vibe to any setting.  Promoting Luck, Love, Fortune, Family and even Happiness, giving a tiki statue is one way to send positive thoughts to someone you care about.

Thatch or Umbrella Kits

Sometimes the best gift is the one that helps with a design project.  Especially since it’s the holidays, friends or family may be putting a design or landscaping on project on hold to shop for the holidays.  You can help kick start their project by supplying with thatch, an umbrella kit or even bamboo.

Bamboo Borders

These borders are another exotic gift that is not only aesthetically pleasing but is also a functional gift that anyone can use.  They are perfect for accenting garden beds, walk ways or even to mask old moldings along a wall. Wire loops on each end allow for easy connecting and flexible shape. 

Buddha Accents

Tropical decor doesn’t always have to incorporate thatch or tiki statues.  Some of our most popular items that always spark interest and awe are our Buddha statues.  Many of our customers use them to compliment indoor and outdoor Asian infused decor.

Tiki Bar and Tiki Signs

Truly the gift that will be used year after year for every gathering!  Our bamboo tiki bars are intricately crafted to instantly liven up any area and serve as the perfect focal point for hosting parties and serving up beautiful drinks adorned with an umbrella.  Decorate the tiki bars with our tropical signs, or have the tiki signs adorn walls and hallways.

This holiday season you can avoid the craziness of the malls and get most of your shopping done online.  Pick up something that will liven anyone’s home with a tropical flare, even in the middle of winter.


Father’s Day Gift Ideas

June 10th, 2009

With father’s day right around the corner, Sunday June 21st, coming up with gift ideas may often leave many of us in a blur. What makes shopping for father’s day simple and easy is taking into account that summer is now upon us, and gifts for the backyard are the ones that keep on giving. Items such as outdoor furnishings, BBQ accessories and outdoor bars are not only excellent gifts for Dad, but also provide use, entertainment and activities between friends and loved ones.

Here are Backyard X-Scapes top five gift for dad ideas this year.

5) Gardenfall Water Feature Waterfall

The Gardenfall waterfall is classically beautiful and blends seamlessly in a home, office or outdoor setting. The contemporary design and soothing water sounds create a relaxing ambiance, with aesthetically unique reflections mirrored from behind the water. In case you are unsure of the design of Dad’s home or office, the black framing makes it easier to coordinate and be more versatile with any décor.

4) Tiki Statues

Celebrating tropical and island culture, Tiki Statues are a fun and interesting way to decorate any space. Coming in various sizes and styles, there are Tiki statues to help promote and enhance Love, Luck, Fortune and Strength. Each Tiki Statue is authentically hand carved and coated with a Spar Varnish to keep it waterproof and resistant to light. What make Tiki statues interesting conversation pieces are the history behind them, their distinguished expressions, and meaningful charm to each kind.

3) BBQ Double Side Burner

If dad already has a BBQ island or grill, this double side burner would be the perfect accessory. Each burner is equipped with its own adjusting knob to control the heat individually, is encased completely in stainless steel, and enclosed by a durable lid. This way while the grill is going, you can also have items frying or boiling on the side.

2) Tiki Bar

There is no better way to deliver the tropical island feel and look than with an authentic Bamboo/Nipa Tiki Bar. The Tiki Statues also look great and compliment the Tiki Bar well. Tiki Bars are your all in one gift that provides a central entertainment area, and a main accent for a tropical décor theme. Because Tiki Bars are made from Bamboo, they are Eco-Friendly and have a unique and natural aesthetic. Bamboo Tiki Bars are not only lightweight but are also strong, durable and extremely easy to assemble.

1) BBQ Grill / Cart

Drum roll.. and to our number one pick! Nothing screams summer fun like an outdoor Barbeque. This stainless steel BBQ cart is portable and comes with all the furnishings needed to get a good cook off going. Built with two counter tops, bottom storage space, a two tier grill, and rotisserie skewer, cooking all your BBQ items will be an ease.

The saying goes that no matter what gift you decide upon, it’s the thought that counts. Whether you are shopping for items that will promote interesting conversation, deliver love, fortune and strength, or provide a way to spend more time with loved ones, the main idea is to celebrate father’s day and letting him know how great he is!
