Hawaii shopping online solves a lot of problems. You need guidebooks and maps before you go; a flight to get you there; a room, tours, activities, gifts and souveniers while you're there; and as soon as you get back, you're going to want your own outward expressions of Hawaii.

We have sections dealing with Hawaii activities, hotels, and flights, even guidebooks, so let's look at gifts and souveniers. First, let's agree that carrying around a lot of stuff, while you're having fun, isn't what a vacation is all about, and airport security screening leaves a lot to be desired. So, if you buy it in a store, have them ship it home.
Hawaiian gifts and souveniers run the gamut from food to artwork. Of course, you can pick up your own seashells, lava, and sand, but the crafts and styles in Hawaii are some of the best gifts around.
Clothes: T-shirts, aloha shirts, muu muus
Food: Macadamia nuts (some chocolate coated), Kona coffee, poi, makimaki, saimin
Tiki: hula musical instruments, ukeleles
"Hawaii": just about anything with the word "Hawaii" on it, or your favorite island
Home Decor: Prints, posters, art work, wall hangings, fabric, gourds
Music: Israel Kamakawiwoole, Sister Robi, and the Makaha Sons are just the tip of the iceberg. Slack key and hapa haole, too.
