Aloha to all you Hawaiians and Hawaiians at heart!

Giving a lei to someone can mean friendship, love, or just simply Aloha.  Special feelings and meanings go into making a lei, especially one that becomes a treasured keepsake.  A lei is placed over the recipient's head and worn over the shoulders draped both front and back.  The placement of the lei is traditionally followed by a kiss!

There are many opportune times for giving someone a fragrant flower lei.  The custom was made internationally famous decades ago when visitors were greeted with lei upon their arrival to the islands.  Today, the giving of a lei to someone arriving or departing our islands still continues, and the lei is often kept as a memento of the special memories of the occasion. 

The art of lei making has evolved over the years and now it is common to use new materials like ribbon, fabric, wooden beads, mylar, trims, yarn, candy, clay and money. 

In Hawaii where monetary gifts are quite popular, the locals have wedded the tradition of lei giving with monetary gifting.  The result - a creative and unique craft with an island flair in money leis and money bouquets. 

Make your next monetary gift a unique one made with lots of aloha!  Give a Hawaiian Money Lei made with dollar flowerettes or butterflies; or a Dollar Rose Bouquet hand-crafted in the islands.  You can even be creative and make your own Money Origami Folds in the shapes of frogs, plumeria flowers, and Hawaiian shirts!
