We will always choose Harriet's over her neighbor. Harriet is one of the first stands that you come to in the row of lei stands at the airport. They are always so friendly and have very nice selection. We also have some lei in the inside refrigerators. Their price is very reasonable as well. My mother-in-law chose a lei po'o and I was so beautiful and fresh flowers and greenery. Good price as well. Thank you, Harriet for being amazing read more

Go see these lovely ladies for all your lei needs. They have it all. Beautiful and fragrant selections for kāne (men) and wahine (women). First stall and the best stall at HNL! read more

Harriet's Lei Stand - The lovely ladies of Harriet's Lei Stand - Gift Shops Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'm not a local, so my review will be biased. Plus, I cannot compare other places that sell leis or how much they cost. So feel free to disregard my review if you'd like. It was my wife's birthday, so my cousin wanted to quickly pick up a haku (or head lei) meant for special occasions. Harriet's stand was located outside of the HNL airport, but away from the heavy traffic arrival/departure lanes. I believe we drove towards the Car Rental Returns, made a big U, and recall seeing a big "Lei Stands" signs to the right. I thought, "Wow, how convenient!" Short "10-minute parking" up front, as we took the first parking spot. We weren't planning to loiter, so understandable. The first thing I noticed was the table full of leis while being greeted with a wave from two ladies behind it. We looked around and noticed fresh colorful leis outside, and some preserved in a refrigerator. Their leis range from simple beads that were $5 to $10, to more expensive ones at about $20 to $30. Again, I'm not an expert on this, so i can't compare. However, I did take a pic of the staff in the back, creating various leis, which was really cool. No issues with service, as the lady that showed us the hakus was very helpful. We pretty much grabbed what we came for and paid. The cousin was satisfied, wife was super happy, and we were on our way to celebrate and relax. read more

Harriet's is the first lei stand on the right as you enter the vendors. I always ask for the price of a lei I'm interested in then ask for the kamaaina discount. Today we purchased 5 orchid leis for our grandson's grandparents tea. One white orchid lei with a red and green ribbon for him. There weren't enough white ones so the other 4 were purple and white. Two had red ribbons for his 2 female teachers, one green ribbon for his male teachers aide and an extra one he chose to give his other grandma. They were all placed in a clear plastic bag and then we sped on to our final destination. read more

Since Chinatown was out of my way, coming from the North side of Oahu, Harriet's was the winner. -Very convenient location near the airport. -phone order = easy peasy. You can pay by credit card or cash when you pick up. The lady asks what time she should have the leis ready for pick up. After reading other reviews of the lei stands nearby, I felt more confident that my lei order will be ready for pick up, which it was. I ordered 1 Maile lei and 2 tuberose leis. When we arrived, dad thought the tuberose was plain and asked to add another lei intertwined which she did right then and there no problem. Paid and we were on our way to the plane. The flowers were fresh and not wilting 2 days later. I highly recommend this lei stand. They have a table with a mountain full of leis ready daily. read more

Always great place to go when you need a lei! Awesome people/service all the time! Value for lei poʻo was great and beautiful.

One thing I love about this lei stand is that Aunty always welcomes me like I'm Ohana, even though she can't possibly remember me from the handful of leis I've purchased here. All of the leis are made daily and never look wilted. They're wonderful about putting bows on in any color requested and will package them together or separately, your choice. You can even have them packed for travel, which I've done before. Prices fluctuate depending on the season (e.g., graduation) but your supporting local and buying fresh. And they always seem to offer a discount if you seem hesitant (better a discounted lei then you going to another stand all together!) or buy more than one. read more

Harriet's Lei Stand - THE place to go for leis - Gift Shops Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'm from Maui so I never knew this place existed until a co-worker of mine told me about it. They are located on the left turn before entering the baggage claim. But be careful, and slow down or else you will miss the little sharp left turn to their lei stand. Harriet's is the very first one when you enter their parking lot. They do have parking spaces right in front of their section. It's like a small strip of various lei stands, not all are occupied, but it's nice to be able to just drive to one section and be able to see your different options. Harriet's Lei Stand offers so many options. I first came here in November for my daughter's birthday and wanted to get her something really nice. Their craftsmanship of creating such a beautiful lei is amazing. If you're from Hawaii they do offer a kama'aina discount on your purchase. For my daughter I did purchase a lei that was 3 strands of different flowers intertwined together. It was slightly heavy, but it was beautiful. I also did go back recently and purchased a white haku for a friend of ours. Very beautiful and at such a good price. I definitely recommend checking this place out. Honestly they do have a better selection then I would have at the places I go to in China Town. If you are looking for something, you can call ahead and they will put it on the side for you. read more

Harriet's is one of my favorite lei stands at the Honolulu International Airport. It's literally the first stand once you make the turn into the lei stands. You'll be greeted by some of the nice ladies there who'll try their best to accommodate you and your budget. They have a wide variety of leis from the basic orchid lei to the combination of leis including carnations with orchids and tuberose, cigar leis, ginger leis, etc. Since the pandemic, their prices have increased but they're still rather reasonable compared to going to Safeway or Longs for a lei. I purchased a cigar mixed with kukui but lei for $20 and an orchid lei for $8. I love their stand because their leis are pretty fresh and they're always willing to work with your budget and give you a nice price if you want to purchase a more expensive lei. Definitely recommend them if you need a lei for a special occasion:). read more

They were so helpful and friendly. Nice selection of lei. We needed a lei for a wedding anniversary and they had a number of options and all looked nice and fresh. The prices were very reasonable as well. They even had fresh pikake lei! read more

Totally convenient place to get your lei before your flights or if you are picking up someone from the airport. Don't bother to make a pitstop in Chinatown or a supermarket because these lei here are fresh and reasonable in price. I will have to warn you that you should decide which lei stand you want to go to and park near that stand before getting out of your car. It's quite an intimidating experience as they compete for each other's business and will try to make eye contact, greet you and start trying to sell. It's like being at the International Market Place when there were those kiosks. You can bargain if you are getting a few. I like that the owner (assuming that's Harriet) recognizes my face and remembers where I work. That level of personalization always makes me prefer her lei stand over the others. Their lei start at $5 for the dendrobium orchid lei and plumeria lei. Their lei with tuberose is $8-$10 for the single strand. Lei go up in price the more fancier and more flowers used. Orchid lei don't smell and anything with ti leaves tends to be stinky. They have pikake and pakalana sold by the strand in the fridge inside, prices vary based on availability of flowers. They also may have haku lei (for your forehead) inside. My absolute favorite lei for how fragrant they are is the puakinikini lei. They usually are $20 but you might find day old ones that have turned more orange (they are originally white or yellow) for $10-$15. Although very great smelling, this lei doesn't last very long as the flowers bruise and fall apart very easily so after a few hugs it looks like you were out after a rough night. Be warned that on Mother's Day and graduation time, prices of lei sky rocket due to supply and demand, as any other lei or flower shop do. On my last visit, when I was getting four lei for a visiting colleague and her family, she had a toddler and I didn't want the lei to be too long. The lady that helped me, shortened the lei to better fit her keiki. What a great personal touch! Go to Harriet's! I am aware that through my review, even when referring to multiple lei, I did not pluralize the word, the Hawaiian language has no plural forms. read more

I needed a lei for a retirement I went to Longs Drugs, picked a decent looking lei that would be nice for a retirement, only to find out it cost $43 at Longs Drugs and it really wasn't that nice. Like whoa, longs drugs lei prices have gone up and are now crazy expensive. I decided to go to the lei stands at the Honolulu airport. I don't normally come here but really needed something nice. I found out it's best to park in front of a stand that is not open so you don't feel committed to buy from the stand you parked at. I walked around and when I reached Harriet's lei stand, there it was, a beautiful ginger lei w some purple flowers in it for color. That's exactly what I needed. It was only $20 and way nicer than the Longs Drugs lei. I also got to pick a ribbon and they added baby breath near the ribbon, the employee was so nice, helpful and friendly. This lei got many compliments when I brought it to work for the recipient. I will now come here instead of going to Longs Drugs. Not only are the leis half the price as Longs Drugs but way nicer!!! read more

Yesterday I took my friend to the airport to pick up his daughters he wanted to stop at the lei stand for he's Daughters got stink eye from these two ladies Because he went to the Portuguese lady- Took my daughter to the bathroom came back And this lady on the left felt the need to tell me I can only park here for 10 minutes I turned around and told her well I'm only been here for five- So that means I got five more minutes- Besides my friend who's a paying customer is still getting his leis And I'm waiting on him so you don't have to be rude and acknowledges Because we did not do business with you she rolled her eyes and shut her mouth- Hawai'i is about having the aloha spirit these two ladies do not have that aloha spirit read more

I love this lei stand. I got to the airport sort of last minute to pick up my grandma and luckily her flight as slightly delayed so I had time to walk right across the street and pick up a lei! 2 minute walk from Hawaiian Air terminals Literally the easiest quickest purchase ever Harriet's is the first lei stand in the long line of lei stands at Honolulu Airport. Their selection is purely beautiful I found a gorgeous three color (pink, green, white) lei that smelled amazing! I never carry cash on me Luckily they accept card! Quick easy transaction and got back to her arrival gate within two minutes with a beautiful smelling lei for my immaculate grandmother Thank yo Harriet's! I will definitely return for all my future Airport lei needs! Your amazing customer service has earned a lot return customer in me read more

This was my first visit to the lei stands at HNL, and I was very pleased with my choice. After failing to figure out how to actually drive to the lei stands, I parked and walked over from Terminal 1. It was a shorter walk than I expected, very close to the terminal. I first did a stroll up and down the strip of lei stands before settling on Harriet's. I bought a beautiful lei with unique purple and burnt orange plumeria, carnations (maybe?), and ginger for my mother-in-law arriving from the mainland. The lei was heavy and the flowers were colorful and crisp -- very fresh. Maybe carnations, if indeed they were carnations, aren't traditional for a lei, but they looked great. In fact, my choice of lei was reinforced as, while walking through the airport, I received four or five compliments from strangers on how beautiful the lei is. Nice! The price was good, too, at $10 for a beautiful lei, far lower cost than prior lei I've purchased nearer to my house at Costco and Long's, and waaaay cheaper than that time I had to buy lei and Queen's medical center, of course. I'll be back! read more

Love that it's open late awesome service and price!!!! Variety of fresh lei's! Will be using this lei stand from now on!!!

I needed a Haku lei for a military ball, and none of the stands really had anything that matched my dress. The wonderful ladies at Harriet's Lei Stand pulled out their flowers, matched them to my dress, and made me a custom Haku on the spot! My 7 year old daughter loved watching the process and they were so sweet to her! Excellent customer service and great prices - we will be back! (My husband's lei is from Harriet's too!) read more

Sent my husband to buy 2 lei for a party tonight. We are LOCAL. This somewhat punchy lady gave my husband a $5 discount, what got me angry was she didn't even bother to put a ribbon OR package them separately! She jus plopped them in a package. I hate buying Lei from those lei stands, the flowers are wilty and I know they rip off tourist!!!! Not to mention they are pushy! Chinatown is your best bet!!!!! read more

Ladies threw a tantrum and became upset when I only bought two leis from her and went to other stands to get leis that she did not have but they did. Became very rude and nasty. Even harassed me because I parked my car in front of their stand and told me to move it. I parked there because I went to their stand first. Very unprofessional. Sorry I went to her stand first and bought from them. Other lei stand owners are a lot nicer. read more

Only place I ever go to get leis! They always have what I need! When I contacted other major flower companies to get a pikake lei they told me they were sold out for 4 months because of a shortage, so I called harriets and they had a 3 strand!!! Love this place! read more

I love to come here and get leis they always give good deals.and when you buy alot from them they pack and get it ready for you to ship or to take on the plane read more

Harriet's Lei Stand has awesome workers! I purchased a few leis from another lei stand. This lei stand did not put any bows on the leis and I realized after purchasing them how dried out they were (comparing them with Harriet's). So Harriet's workers asked if I would like them to put ribbons on the leis I purchased from the other lei stand! They were so gracious in doing that to make the leis not look so dried out. I still needed more leis so of course I purchased the rest from Harriet's which had much nicer and fresher looking leis, and the prices a whole lot better! read more

I wanted to give "0" stars if it was available. This place is RIP OFF!!!! I went here yesterday (Mothers Day) looking for a Pikake lei for my mom (her favorite). They were charging $25 per strand....In fact, the other stands right next to Harriets were all charging the same...talk about PRICE GOUGING!!!! And they say to buy local? how can you afford it? $75 for a 3 strand Pikake? Auwe... I went to Martha's a few stalls down and she charged me $15 a strand...remember...they all buy from the same wholesaler. At least $15 per strand is more reasonable than $25. And...those that charged $25 per strand says..."BUT ITS FOR YOUR MOTHER" to make us feel bad... Anyway...this place is RIP OFF...you should go to Marthas! read more

This is my favorite lei stand. Not only beacause of their wide assortment of $5 colored leis but because they are so welcoming every time I arrive. I go there for all my lei needs from welcoming guests to changes of command to decorating. They are so kind and always greet me with a kind smile. The flowers are fresh and last for days smelling sweetly all over the house. Thank you, Harriet's for delivering aloha every day. read more

The lady working the stand was completely rude to me and my family. Will never buy from this stand and glad there are many other stands to choose from! Next time, don't be rude to locals. read more

I would have given a higher score if not for the RUDE woman who tried to give me plumeria leis that were turning brown! Just because I have a military ID, it doesn't mean I'm clueless...I was born and raised in Hawaii and I know what a fresh lei looks like. For you to tell me "whatever" when I told you I wanted a fresh lei...WOW!! Totally uncalled for and rude!! If you want customers $$ you should learn to be professional. I'll be taking my business elsewhere next time. read more

My go to Lei Stand! Need a HaKu lei ASAP-just give them a call and they can get it done for you. Prices! Best in town!

We always stop at Harriet's to get leis for all occasions! We have been very pleased with the quality and the prices! Most of their employees are super sweet and helpful. It was really great that they warned me against buying one that I had planned to take on my flight, so that I didn't buy one that they wouldn't let me take to the mainland! read more

I was planning to go into Chinatown to get a Pikake lei, when I decided to go to the airport lei stands since it was a bit closer for me, coming from Waikele, and parking is never a problem. I always assumed the airport lei stands were pricey, but to my surprise, being a "local" helps, as well as the competition of lei stands there! I bought a beautiful fresh pikake lei with baby roses for a reasonable price. Some stands offered $6 a strand, while others were a bit more, depending on the freshness of the flowers. Previously, I had called some shops in Chinatown and I was quoted $7 or more a strand for pikake! As I walked through all of the lei stands at the airport, I was very impressed by the variety of leis they sell. It's also a quick exit off the freeway, and easy to get right back onto the freeway. The ladies at Harriets were very friendly and accommodating. Also a plus, they do take credit cards. My thought.....I couldn't sit there all day and make leis, but these ladies certainly do, and therefore I was not one that tried to get a cheaper price for the lei!! read more

Many don't know about these stands at the airport. It's a quick stop off the freeway and back on. Great things about Harriet's Lei Stand are they're friendly, helpful and can take orders over the phone. A plus is that they take credit cards. Note some stands don't so ask before you order. read more
