Hawaiian Aloha Shirts, Jewelry & Leis
Includes Local & Family Favorites
Hawaiian aloha shirts, jewelry and leis are as much a part of the islands as sandy beaches and volcanos. From the minute you get off the plane you'll see people wearing clothing unique to the island state. Regardless of how you normally dress, while in Hawaii you'll probably want to add a touch of aloha to your island attire. Acquiring wardrobe items is a fun way to let your mainland pals know that you've just spent some time in the islands. Some articles you may want to look for are leis and earrings made from Niihau shells, Hawaiian heirloom jewelry and various items made from tropical woods.
Hunting for these items can be as rewarding as acquiring them. Kiosks, storefronts and local "swap meets" abound in Hawaii. There you'll find locally produced crafts, foods and gifts. Even department stores carry selections of island products. Museum and park shops are also good places to find unique items. And for a special sensory treat don't forget to visit Chinatown! So do a little window-shopping on the internet and preview some of these treasures. Try using search terms such as aloha shirts, heirloom jewelry and Niihau leis. With all that can be found in Hawaii shopping can truly become part of a travel adventure.
