They sell fresh flower leis at the airport, so it’s easy to pick one up on your way home. And for silk leis, the best selections are at Walmart, Whaler’s General Store, and ABC Stores. You can find fresh flower haku leis at lots of local lei stands and at florist shops (although you probably want to order ahead of time.) What’s really trendy on Instagram this year are haku leis (flower crowns.) You’ll see girls wearing long, flowy dresses and a haku lei on their heads in tons of photos.
The best place to find silk haku leis is at the Aloha Swap Meet or J&L Trading House.

They have the best prices and selections to find exactly what you’re looking for, plus lots of other adorable souvenirs in Hawaii. To bring them home, I recommend getting plastic containers so they don’t get crushed in your suitcase. If you’re wondering what to buy in Hawaii that won’t take up much space, consider jewelry. Taking home some of the finest small bits of Hawaiian jewelry makes for a special gift for him or her. They have all kinds of handcrafted earrings, bracelets, and rings that have a touch of Hawaii to them. Just be sure you’re buying the real thing.
