Ho‘omau Hawai‘i Gift Box 2026

Uniquely Delightful Items from Hawai‘i Wahine

Julia Child once said, “One of the secrets of cooking is to learn to correct something if you can, and bear with it if you cannot.” In that spirit of improvement and perseverance, our chapter curates an annual Ho‘omau Hawai‘i gift box, containing a selection of  items from Island makers.

In Hawaiian, “ho‘omau” means to continue, persist, renew, perpetuate, persevere. The Ho‘omau Hawai‘i gift box helps to perpetuate women’s small businesses and culinary arts in our community.

Celebrate the spirit of Hawai‘i with a curated gift box filled with products created by women-owned businesses from three Hawaiian islands. This year, your purchase directly supports the Women’s Fund of Hawai‘i, empowering women and girls statewide, and contributes to hurricane recovery on Kaua‘i and Hawai‘i Islands. Proceeds from our box sales will be awarded to women-led community hubs in the hardest-hit areas.

A beautiful and ‘ono (delicious) way to share aloha with your loved ones this holiday season and support women and small businesses in Hawai‘i!
