Today we talk about picking the right souvenirs to take back with you after visiting Hawaii. We don’t want to put the skis before the boat. You probably haven’t even got to the islands yet. But we know a lot of vacationers make gift and souvenir decisions at the last minute, just before returning home. Some even scramble guiltily in airport shops and pay dearly for last-minute junk items just to get it done.
But if you want to take back something a little more unique and meaningful, Hawaiian Koa is one of the world’s most beautiful hardwoods, and it grows only in Hawaii.
Koa trees generally are found at elevations of 2,000 feet or higher on the upper slopes of the Big Island and Maui. They reach heights of 100 feet or more, and their trunks grow as large as five feet wide. Their unique, native wood is prized for its beautiful range of color and lustrous grain — from near black through red, orange and russet tones to yellow and gold. The grain is marked with wavy lines and swirling color, giving luster and a sense of depth unequaled by any other exotic wood in the world.
So as you browse the gift shops, specialty stores, department stores and shopping centers, keep your eye out for things koa. What you see will be uniquely Hawaiian, high in quality, and cherished forever.
