It’s gift guide time people! I’m sure you’ve been seeing them everywhere in the blog-o-sphere and I wanted to contribute a bit of tropical loveliness to the mix. I’m not going to get too crazy, but I wanted to share some of my top Hawaii picks so you can give someone the gift of aloha no matter where you or they may reside. Here we go, Hawaii Holiday Gift Guide 2018!
For the Coffee Lover
Lion Coffee is not only one of my go-to Hawaii coffee brands but also my dad’s favorite brand. My dad lives on the East Coast and I typically send him a few bags of Lion Coffee every couple of months. When I found out that they were offering some special holiday blends I just had to give them a try. Coconut Caramel, Gingerbread and Frosty Vanilla? Yes, yes and yes!
Lion Coffee’s sister brand Royal Kona Coffee also has some tasty holiday blends. I mean come on, you can never have enough yummy holiday coffee right? So good!
For the Skincare Enthusiast
Malie is my favorite Hawaii skincare brand. I have loved every single item I have ever tried from them, with their Bontany Beauty line being a big part of my daily skincare regime. In addition to having everything you could possibly need for yourself, they also have some fantastic gift sets that are perfect for sending a bit of tropical beauty to friends and family (or to just keep for yourself). Everything is super nourishing for your skin and smells divine!
Hibiscus Cream and Wash Gift Set. Also featured is the Hibiscus Soy Candle.

For the Fashionista
Olivia Clare is a lovely boutique located on the Big Island of Hawaii. Featured below are their Nani Earrings (Hawaiian for “Pretty”) I love the simple and geometric feel of them! They are available in Sterling Silver or 14K Gold Filled and are handcrafted in Hawaii. How adorable are these?!
I’m also completely obsessed with their Mau Loa ring. How beautiful is this piece!

Olivia Clare will also be doing an awesome holiday giveaway called “12 Days of Christmas” from December 1-12. Every day someone will win! So be sure to follow them on Instagram!
For the Interior Designer
I’m bringing back Malie a second time but this time for some awesome home goods! Check out this super adorable pineapple candle! It mixes in with virtually any home decor and smells ah-mazing!
In addition, be sure to check out some of the oil diffusers from their Island Ambiance Collection. Featured below is the Island Ambiance Gift Set which includes scents of plumeria, pikake and koke’e!
For the Outdoor Adventurer
Route 99 Hawaii is a North Shore Oahu embroidery company that shares their aloha through Hawaii-inspired hats! They have a wide variety of designs and styles to suit anyone’s taste. I always have my favorite island hat with me while I’m adventuring around the island.
I also had the pleasure of collaborating on a hat design with Route 99 Hawaii. Check out the Waimea Peacock hat!

For the Yogi
Of course, I gotta throw in something from the Aloha Lovely Shop. For the yogi or fitness enthusiast, check out our leggings! We currently have two different tropical prints available, Jade Turquoise Floral and Vintage Aloha. Super comfy and durable, I just love how these leggings help brighten my mood before a workout!
