What to get...what to get... - Collecting Tiki

These are usually inexpensive, and make nice decorative items. If she can find a store that caters to hula dancers, they sell really nice silk flower leis. Those stores also sell the headdresses and gourds that the dancers use. Tell her to buy some Plumeria scented cologne. That scent always reminds me of Hawaii. Many stores (including ABC stores) sell sarongs for about $10. I have lots of them in different colors, and have used them for table cloths, bedspreads, car seat covers, curtains, etc. When she is returning, tell her to buy you a fresh flower lei at the airport. It will probably survive the trip home, and you can a little taste of the Hawaiian experience.
