I like the Coconut Lime as well. It's tough to choose between it and the Margarita. I bought several of the foaming hand soap last year in the Margarita scent and absolutely LOVE IT!! The smell of these scents for me is a nice stress relief ^^

Didn't see any tropical t-shirts yet at Kohl's. But did see a nice selection of Coral and shell themed home decorations such as candle holiders, bottle toppers, book ends etc. Price: $9.99 and up.

Also saw some very nice flip flops and sandals (Simply Vera brand) by Vera Wang. Price: $16.99

I saw in Kohl's yesterday tropical themes clips for securing a beach towel to your chair. Might be worth a try.

Also, in case anyone is interested, Brads deals has a link to a site called "Get Organized" for an inflatable salad/drink bar for $9.98. The link is http://www.shopgetorganized.com/item/in ... _source=CJ

Specs according to description: Inflatable salad bar Fill with ice, keep food chilled for hours and serve large crowds indoors or out! Extra large, rectangular serving station with 12 x 42" interior accommodates multiple serving bowls. The size, light weight and portability make this a no-brainer for parties, picnics, camping, and more. PVC, 51 x 24.5 x5".

next time you visit walmart, take a look at the mens/boys dept. recently i saw a very cool looking t shirt with a tropical theme. the colors are kind of different also. i think it would be worth your time. also, if you like key lime pie/pudding, walgreens is having what looks like a close out sale. check the frozen food cooler for that.

"yes, we have been here before"

Love Key Lime anything so will definitely check out Walgreens for the pudding.

I'll also check out the t-shirs at WalMart. I know last year they had some nice prints. :) Thanks for the tips.

Found tablecloth clips in the Oriental Trading Company catalog and website. They are tropical themed. I forget the price from last year but they were reasonably priced.

We've had the same problem. The tape we've used never lasts long.

They also sell the inflatable salad bar. It looks really nice as well.

Ladies I was just at JC Penny's and saw some of the summer collection from Alfred Dunner. The two collections I saw were GREAT!!

COTE D' AZUR: has a Parrot print and saw another one with a seaside village print.

TRADEWINDS: Is the tropical leaf print

These are VERY VERY NICE!!

I wanted to post a pic of these but unfortunately a lot of mall stores frown on picture taking lately.

Prices range from: $40-$50 a piece (standard for this make)

What I saw was not on sale.

From what I read on a sign advertising their new pricing (on the wall inside an entrance door) 1st and 3rd Friday of the month they lower the prices on items that have not been selling. Look for small blue tags on the price tag. There is also a blue sign on the display rack!

Then each month they reduce prices for other items for the entire month. If I remember correctly those are the white tags.

Go to http://www.jcpenny.com look for the turquoise colored icon month-long values located in the upper left corner. Click on it. It is the same ad as I saw on the wall by the entrance door from outside.
