As for the mats......We're heading out this week to get one as well. Need a new mat for the front door. Definitely one of the prettiest ones we've seen this season.

FINS UP ^
I also saw those mats at Bed Bath and Beyond.

Stopped briefly at a WalMart this morning. Couldn't find the t-shirts there. Did find the luminaries, table skirts napkins, etc.

Can anyone tell me where your stores have the shirts now. I'll make sure to check there when I'm at a WalMart again this week.

Hoping to find a Kohl's this afternoon to get a flip flop mat.

Got my mat at Bed Bath and Beyond, same price, and our Walmart has the flip flops in the mens shoes, and the Ts/swim trunks were moved to mens.

I finally took the time to run up to Kohl's for the doormat. Ours didn't have any of the cutout flip flop mats that all of you have been posting but they had several with five of the same flip flops across the top with welcome written across the bottom. With my 15% off coupon I only paid $8. One of these days I will take the time to learn how to post pictures here! Or should I say "Someday I will......!" Thank God they had them, the next closest Kohl's and the closest BBB is three hours away in Green Bay!
Our Walmart finally has a put together display of the luminaries, plates, leis, etc. - and, they're on clearance like you said! The flip flops were in the next aisle along with some pretty decent looking beach towels, coolers and that kind of thing. Didn't have time to look for the shirts, etc.
I've got a question. Last year at Alpine someone was handing out cute rub-on parrot tatoos. I was never able to find her but someone said she had to order a bunch - like 500 or something. Has anyone seen anything like that? I'm going to check Oriental Trading's website when I get off here but thought I'd ask anyway.

I have purchased the parrot tattoos at the Party City store. I haven't checked for this year yet, but have bought them the past couple of years. At the store, they come in small packs with about 8 - 10 tattoos.

I do think the Parrot tattoos can be gotten at from Oriental Trading. I think I saw them in a tropical theme set in their summer catalog.

We found the Landshark t-shirts in the mens section. They had a rack all their own. The swim trunks were near them.

the flip flops were with the shoes.

Our Walmart (Riverdale, NJ) had the LS t-shirts and swim trunks in the men's department. They also had the flip-flops in the shoe department. I also picked up cute tablecloth napkins (20ct), and plates(20ct) ($2 each!) which were located in the seasonal section back by garden which made no sense at all. They also had leis, luminaries, grass table skirts in the same section.
Ciao!

For any of our cooks or bakers out there. Found a coupon in yesterdays Sunday paper for Dole, Pineapple/Mango juice.

Might be a good mix with Mango or pineapple rum.
