Honolulu Gift Ideas
Mother's Day is fast approaching, and like the procrastinator that I am, I have yet to purchase a gift for my mother! Any Googling cound help you find that special something for that someone, but here are three ideas if you're feeling particularly creative. These ideas can apply to your mom or anyone special:
1. A Lunch or Dinner Cruise
The Star of Honolulu has been running lunch and dinner cruises for over 50 years! Your mom would certainly appreciate a little rest and relaxation while cruising the south shore of Oahu. Cruises start at $50 per adult, but can be as high as $170 (for the 5 star dinner cruise).
You can browse different cruise options and book tickets online too!
2. This Week
I imagine the This Week, the free narrow guidebooks that can be found at the airport or in Waikiki, could have a decent discount for activities or dinners in Honolulu. The Top of Waikiki is a particularly good place to treat someone out.
3. Flowers for a Friend
Flowers, leis, hakus, or balloons are always a great bet. I've always been partial to this place on King Street (Flowers for a Friend, 2739 S King St, #808-955-4227). The owner, a nice Asian lady, has a really sweet parrot named Popcorn. This is one of the more reasoable shops in town, but there are a few other flower shops right around this area that are worth a try too.
In the case of Mother's Day, you have three days to figure it out! Good luck!
