Who doesn’t love food? So give the gift that anyone—but especially those foodies on your list—will cherish. Or at least eat.
1. Kōloa Kaua'i Cacao Rum, Kōloa Rum Co.
The award-winning Kōloa Rum Co. on Kauaʻi debuts its newest spirit: chocolate-flavor rum using locally grown cacao from Lydgate Farms, a fifth-generation farm on Kauaʻi. It’s created by steeping the farm’s roasted cacao nibs in Kōloa Kauaʻi Gold Rum for nine to 18 days, depending on the batch. During the process, the rum extracts natural flavor and color from the cacao to offer a distinctive chocolate rum with notes of rich, creamy mocha highlighted by subtle spice. It’s the first new flavor to be released by Kōloa Rum Co. in five years. This initial batch is available in limited quantities. Find a retailer here.
2. Sweet and Salty Snack Mix, Big Island Candies
The Hilo-based company recently released new locally inspired treats, including a dark chocolate-covered coffee brownie, piña colada shortbread cookies and coconut mochi brownie. But we’re addicted to its sweet and salty snack mix (above), a mix of pretzels, conical-shaped corn chips, chunky cheese snacks and sugary wheat squares. It’s packed in resealable bags, but we doubt it’ll last that long. Great stocking stuffer!
3. Mai Tai Cocktail Mix, SoHa Living
Make Hawaiʻi’s quintssential cocktail anywhere with this mai tai mix. Just add water and rum—and start your virtual Hawaiʻi vacation.
$11.80, sohaliving.com
4. ʻŌlena Tea, Tea Chest Hawaiʻi
Local tea company Tea Chest Hawaiʻi boasts two new organic teas, both featuring organic herbs and Hawaiʻi-grown ingredients to boost wellness. (And we all need that right now!)

The caffeine-free ʻŌlena (shown) is a tumeric-based blend that combats inflammation, with ginger, black pepper and lemongrass. Unique gifts for that tea lover on your list.

5. Hawaiʻi Cookbooks, da Shop
There are tons of Hawaiʻi-based cookbooks out there—and we love the selection curated by da Shop, a brick-and-mortar bookstore in Kaimukī on Oʻahu. (It’s run by local publisher Bess Press.) Sure, you can get most of these titles on Amazon, but why not support a local bookseller, too?
