With less than 174,000 people on the entire island, you shouldn’t expect to find the shopping choices of a big city. Nevertheless, you will find plenty of resort wear boutiques, jewelry, art galleries, island antique and handicraft stores. Hawaiian quilts and quilted pillows are popular, and there are many made-in-Hawai‘i products such as fruit jams, Kona coffee, Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate, locally-grown vanilla and macadamia nuts that you may want to take home to friends, family or coworkers who weren’t lucky enough to come along. If you’ve been to Hawai‘i before, you’ll doubtless have a print sundress or a couple of aloha shirts packed for your return. If this is your first trip, you’ll quickly realize polo shirts and shorts are just not enough. Pack light so you’ll have room to bring home the start of your aloha wear collection. Most of the major resorts have a selection of resort shops with everything you’d expect to find there. If your taste runs to wooden artifacts, the island has a large community of woodworkers using Hawaiian woods such as koa to create extraordinary pieces. The Hilo Farmers Market, held every Wednesday and Saturday, is a fun shopping adventure filled with local produce, crafts and gift items. There are also several antique shops in Hilo and Kona to browse through and don’t hesitate to stop at that rustic looking shop along the road as you tour the island. You never know what you’ll find, and it’s sure to trigger great memories of your Hawai‘i Island vacation. Bring home the start of your aloha wear collection. Big Island Candies, Inc.
