Haku lei are now 25% off!

Aloha everyone!

This week we're having a sale on Nani's beautiful haku leis!  You can get 25% off if you use the coupon code IQ8P5O152C at the checkout!  Also, if you happen to be going to the Merrie Monarch Festival this year, let us know and we'll arrange delivery of your lei free of charge!  I personally went last year to the exhibition, and it was really awesome!  (...just wish I was there this year....).  :(

Wedding Haku Lei

Here are a couple of pictures that I took at the exhibition last year.  The halau form Japan was huge!  It was just amazing how group and group (of the same halau) came on stage in different outfits....and then they had them all on stage at the same time!  ....all 80-or-so of them!  (Might be more...I'm recalling this from memory....).

Once again...I really wish I was there right now!  How about any of you?  Have you been to the festival?  have you competed?  We'd love to know!

Enjoy the pics!

Products from last year at the Merrie Monarch Festival

It's almost time for the Merrie Monarch Festival again!  ...and that got me thinking about last year.  Last year, we had a display at the Prince Kuhio Mall, and we had some interesting products that I thought that I'd share with you.

As you may know, we have a haku head lei in our store that you can customize.  The header photo as well as the photo below are examples of the custom work that we can do.

We can also create smaller head bands that can clip in the hair.  We'll probably add these to to store too...but for now, you can contact us to find out more....

I hope that you've enjoyed these photos.  Let me know what you liked (or even didn't like).  ....or if you're heading to the Merrie Monarch Festival this year, we'd love to hear about that too! - Maybe (just maybe) we'll send one of you a complimentary lei to your hotel in Hilo! :)

A hui hou.

New Products at 2Honu

We hope that everyone has had a wonderful winter!  Yeah….I've been gone from the blog scene for a while…but I come back bearing some good news!  Over the last few weeks, we've been busy making new lei designs, taking photos and adding them to our site.  We also have many more coming in the upcoming weeks.

I thought that I'd just take a moment to tell you about some of the cool designs that we are featuring on our site.  We now have a twisted ti leaf lei with five strands of single ti leaf lei grouped together.  It is a symbol of good luck and looks great too!  (Hmmm….Does five strands mean five times good luck! :) )

Five Strand Ti Leaf Lei

If you're into pink, you'll be happy to know that we now have a hot pink flower lei which uses Vanda orchids!  This is really an awesome looking premium lei.

Pink Vanda Lei

Last, but not least, we have started incorporating haku leis into our site.  Nani is really known for her haku leis, and we are just now getting around to taking professional photos of them to add to our site!  I'm so happy! :)

So far, we have two to display.  The first haku head lei (sometimes called a haku head wreath) is a colorful version with purple and white dendrobium orchids and pink carnations.  It can also be used as a hat lei, which is how we've pictured it below.

The second haku lei is a wedding haku lei, which uses only white dendrobium orchids.  Again, this is pictured adorned on a hat for display purposes.  The bride may also wear this on her head.

I hope that you've enjoyed our pictures and will order Hawaiian leis from us in the near future.  Don't forget that, at your request, we will customize your lei order with the items that we have available… many times at no cost. Also, if you have any questions, please drop us a line at customerservice@2honu.com, or you can contact me directly at slee@2honu.com.  You can also leave comments for us below.  We'd love to hear from you!

A hui hou,
Steve
