Da Real Thing

Again, another FIND at the Made in Hawaii Festival.  You’re going to see a lot of bookmarks throughout the Hawaiian gift stores …. THESE ARE THE BEST.  Hawaii Bookmarks are the ones to keep an eye out for.  They’re everywhere (including Books and Borders) so make sure you buy only the premium Hawaii Bookmarks.  And WHY are they the best?  Jeff Gomes, the artisan has spent his creative career working with wood from Hawaii.  Having successfully started producing lots of different items, Jeff found his bookmarks the most popular so he’s focused on those and wow, does it show.

Their bookmarks, key chains and magnets, made of koa wood gathered from the slopes of  Mauna Kea here on the Big Island and are the perfect mementos (omiyage).  The original designs, created by graphic artist Steve Parente, capture the true essence of our beloved local surroundings.
