10 great Maui wedding favors

Ordering favors for your Maui wedding can be a pretty daunting task. I had a big job on my hand as we decided to put together "welcome bags" for all the guests along with favors for the actual wedding itself. My goal, of course, was to use as many local products as possible because Aaron and I strongly believe in supporting the local economy. Plus it had the added affect of saving us TONS of money on shipping! Some of the items we ordered before-hand and had shipped to my cousin's house on the island. And the others we just picked up in the week before our wedding.

Here is a list of completely local products that would be perfect to use as favors...

1. Yummy treats from All Things Bakery, like the heart-shaped Rice Krispie treats pictured above. The adorable favor boxes can also be purchased from the All Things Bakery in many different colors to match your wedding!

2. Maui Babe sunblock and browning lotion. The economical 1oz bottles are perfect for favors.

3. Plants & gifts from Dan's Greenhouse. Give each guest a pre-packaged and customs-certified bonzai or plumeria clipping to take home with them and remember your wedding and amazing trip to Maui.

4. Wow-Wee Maui chocolate bars. They're award winning chocolate bars are all hand made on Maui and come in eight different flavors. Plus the Potato Chip & Milk Chocolate bar has a wedding motif!

5. Sugar cane from Maui's own Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum. Pick them up from the museum located next to Hawaii's largest working sugar factory!

6. Gifts from the Ulupalakua Winery. If your budget allows, giving each guest a bottle of wine from the winery located in upcountry Maui would be an amazing gift. But for a more cost effective alternative, their shot glasses are pretty cool! You could fill each shot glass with chocolate macadamia nuts (buy them in bulk at the Maui Costco) or other yummy Hawaiian treats.

7. Maui Cook Kwees. These guys are made on Maui and come in lots of island-style flavors. And since you buy them in packages  you can easily separate them and wrap them individually as favors, or include a whole bag of them for your OOT or "welcome" bags.

8. Gifts from the Hana Lima Soaps Co. are handmade on Maui and come in tons of different scents and colors to match your wedding. The picture above is from Sugar Cane Sweetie, a company on Maui that specializes in putting together custom wedding favors, and includes an adorable little favor pouch and 

9. Kisses from Maui lip balms and lip shimmers. I have to say that this one of my most favorite local product finds. I use my lip balm every day. They're hand made on Maui and also come in all sorts of colors and "flavors."

10. Gifts or a gift certificate to the Alii Kula Lavender farm. Your guests will appreciate you enhancing their Maui trip by sponsoring their trip to the lavender farm. Or, for a more budget friendly option, search their online shop for unique lavender gifts that they can bring home with them.
