Hawaii - Shopping

If you're the type that likes to shop on vacation, Hawaii's Big Island won't disappoint you. With a small town atmosphere, you'll still find major shopping districts in Hilo and Kailua-Kona, elegant resort stores, art galleries, boutiques, jewelry stores, island antiques, bric-a-brac stores, and rustic village shops around the Island.

Browse treasures carved from local woods like Koa and Milo, such as bowls so thin that they're translucent. Find tropical wear for everyone in the family - at every level of fashion sophistication. Discover books and works of art reflecting Hawaii and the Pacific, along with Hawaiian quilts and pillows. And, don't forget to take home "made only in Hawaii" products such as fruit jams, Kona coffee, Hawaii Vintage Chocolate, macadamia nuts, and recipe books containing the secret ingredients and preparations of the Island's many exotic cuisines. They make wonderful gifts for friends, family, and co-workers who weren't lucky enough to come along.

Most of all, you'll enjoy meeting the friendly local families who will welcome you in their shops on Hawaii's Big Island. They love to share their selections, their service, and their spirit of Aloha.
