The Gift Guide
We shopped for you and all the style mavens, surfers, and skincare lovers on your list.
There are less than two weeks until Christmas, and we’ve been tirelessly searching for great gifts. Not just things we personally love (though, of course, that happens to also be the case), but things we’d actually buy our friends, lovers, coworkers, parents, in-laws, aunties, etc. The budget ranges from $10 to $75.
We’re listing where to find these goodies in boutiques across the islands, but don’t fret; there’s still time to shop these items online and have them arrive by Christmas (but we recommend checking the shops for their shipping deadlines!).
Santa, if you’re reading this, we’d love any or all of the below, but we also really appreciate the gift of experience. Specifically:
Cheers,
The Edit Hawaii team
