At first, I had no clue what this was for, but I was intrigued by the name and decided to stop by the little booth. They're handmade candles in coconut shells! So cute and perfect for gifts for the family! I loved a lot of the fragrances. Very clean and natural scents--no chemicals here! We ended up buying a few candles for stocking stuffers, since Christmas was just around the corner. Everyone loved them! These also burn clean, so no black smoke burning off. We were able to chat with the owner for a few minutes and he was very friendly too. It was nice hearing more about the candles and his story. They're very easy to take on the plane and he'll wrap them up for you. Definitely stop by if you're in the area and stock up on gifts.

Shopping in Hilo Town, Hawaii…read more.. I remember the name of this store... I was here decades ago when I was active with the Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce). We would have meetings on the Big Island every so often. After our gatherings, we'd roam around the town! This store still has amusing gifts, practical items, and cute stuff! It has postcards, jewelry, t-shirts, plushies, baby items, children's toys, Aloha shirts, soaps, lotions, books, Hello Kitty merchandise, tote bags, greeting cards, and more! Service is very friendly! The nice lady at the cash register asked me about my Shohei Ohtani shirt... LOL! Note: this store didn't have air conditioning... shucks! However, there's free street parking all around the area!

Cutest little shop in Hilo! Definitely a must stop if you are spending the day on that side of the…read moreisland!
