Kaua‘i Gifts, founded by Kaua‘i local Cindy Kauanui, is a heartfelt tribute to Kaua‘i’s beauty and heritage, brought to life through her signature Mokihana Hale boxes. Inspired by the plantation homes of her childhood, she has created these boxes to share the island’s timeless charm and spirit of aloha. Each box is adorned with original artwork by renowned ocean artist Wade Koniakowsky, transforming them from simple containers into collectible pieces of art. Each Mokihana Hale box is a story in itself and woven with personal details from Cindy’s own backyard to her mother-in-law’s mu‘umu‘u (dress) swaying on the clothesline. These intimate touches make every box a reflection of home, family, and tradition. Created with sustainability in mind, the boxes are made from eco-friendly material and printed with environmentally safe inks. More than just beautiful, the boxes are also made to last and are engineered to carry up to 20 pounds of gifts. Thanks to Cindy’s patented design, the greater the weight inside, the more securely the box holds together, ensuring the bottom does not give out. Thoughtfully designed for travel, each handcrafted box can fold flat to fit in a suitcase or, when filled with island treasures, fit neatly beneath an airplane seat. Customers may purchase the boxes on their own to fill with personally chosen gifts or collaborate with Cindy to curate bespoke sets of Kaua‘i-made products tailored to each recipient. More than just packaging, the Mokihana Hale boxes are vessels of aloha.
