12 Hawai’i-Inspired Holiday Gifts by Reyn Spooner

December 6, 2016

A Hawaiʻi-Inspired Holiday Gift Guide, Brought to You by Reyn Spooner

We partnered with Reyn Spooner for a gift guide for the holiday season!

Featuring Reyn Spooner’s anniversary collection alongside a curated selection of other locally rooted gifts from brands like Kamaka Hawaii, Martin & MacArthur, Adoboloco, the Honolulu Cookie Company, and Maui Divers Jewelry.

From the guide — Hawaiʻi-inspired gifts with aloha

Below is a sampling of the gifts featured in the original partnership content.

Ukulele

Ukulele

A sweet and inspiring gift for the music lover. The ukulele is beginner-friendly with only four strings — simpler than a guitar, comfortable to hold, and unmistakably Hawaiian. Kamaka Hawaii’s iconic pineapple ukulele, patented in 1928, remains one of the most beloved shapes in the world.

Schaper Hawaii Surfboard

Surfboard from Schaper Hawaii

Schaper Hawaii shapes boards on the North Shore of O‘ahu, one of the world’s most storied surf breaks. Their boards perform across a range of conditions — a meaningful gift for anyone itching to get in the water.

Reyn Spooner Aloha Shirt

Reyn Spooner Aloha Shirt

A classic fit button-front in an exclusive Hawaiian print — at home on Aloha Friday or anywhere a pop of color is welcome. Reyn Spooner’s designs have been a staple of Hawaiian style for decades, and their anniversary collections are especially collectible.

Koa Wood Sunglasses

Koa-Wood Sunglasses from Martin & MacArthur

Koa is native to Hawai‘i and found nowhere else. Martin & MacArthur crafts sunglasses from this rare red wood in styles for men and women — a genuinely one-of-a-kind gift that can’t be found off the islands.

Reyn Spooner Reusable Bag

Reyn Spooner Reusable Bag

Practical, beautifully printed, and purposeful: 10% of proceeds supported the Hawaii Wildlife Fund. A gift that loves the ‘āina (the land that sustains us) as much as the recipient will love carrying it.

Reyn Spooner Skater Skirt

Reyn Spooner Skater Skirt

An exclusive Hawaiian print in a silhouette that isn’t found anywhere else. A fun and limited-availability gift that twirls!

Adoboloco Hot Sauce

Adoboloco Hot Sauce

Made in Hawaii and sourced from local farms, Adoboloco offers a range of heat levels from mild to “hamajang”. A build-your-own gift set for anyone who takes their spice seriously.

Honolulu Cookie Company

Macadamia Nut Cookies from the Honolulu Cookie Company

The Honolulu Cookie Company’s pineapple-shaped shortbread cookies are iconic ‘ono (delicious). Packaged in festive tins, they’re the kind of gift that disappears fast!

Honolulu Coffee Company

100% Kona Coffee from the Honolulu Coffee Company

Farmed and harvested on the slopes of Mauna Loa on the Big Island, Kona coffee is one of Hawai‘i’s most prized exports — smooth, rich, and impossible to replicate anywhere else in the world. A gift every coffee lover will remember.
