The Art of the Pu‘olo: A Gift Wrapped in Aloha

Story of the Pu’olo

In ancient Hawai‘i, the pu‘olo was far more than just a bundle — it was a vessel of intention. Traditionally made from ti leaves, each pu‘olo was carefully folded to hold offerings, prayers, or gifts from the heart. Families brought pu‘olo to ceremonies, to the heiau (temple), or to loved ones as a way to carry blessings and gratitude.

Every layer of leaf carried meaning: protection, purity, and the mana (spiritual energy) of the giver. Nothing about the pu‘olo was accidental — even the way it was tied symbolized respect and care.

Today, we honor that tradition in a modern way. Our pu‘olo gifts are handcrafted with the same spirit of aloha — thoughtfully wrapped and filled with treasures meant to delight. Each one tells a story of connection, culture, and the timeless Hawaiian art of giving.

Our Offerings

Each pu‘olo is thoughtfully handcrafted in the traditional Hawaiian way — carefully wrapped so that it gently unfurls to reveal its treasures within. Inside, you’ll find a curated collection of locally made and iconic Hawaiian snacks and coffee, celebrating the flavors of our islands. Every pu‘olo is adorned with fresh floral accents and a delicate shell lei, a symbol of aloha and welcome.

We offer three sizes to suit your occasion:

  • Small – $85

  • Medium – $105

  • Large – $135

Whether as a heartfelt welcome, a thoughtful thank-you, or a meaningful celebration gift, each pu‘olo carries the spirit of aloha in every fold.
