Made In Hawaii Show

One of the only complaints I hear when family and friends come to visit, is that it is hard to find gifts that are actually made in Hawaii to bring back to the Mainland. In a sea of "Made in China" stickers that adorn the majority of products sold in the most popular tourist shops, it seems that authentic "Made in Hawaii" products are scarce in comparison. My visitors usually end up bringing home lots of macadamia nuts, Kona coffee, & Oils of Aloha products, which are wonderful gifts but finding variety is a challenge. However, that doesn't mean it's impossible!

In an effort to increase awareness of Hawaiian made products, Bank of Hawaii has partnered with hundreds of Hawaii businesses to put on the Made in Hawaii show. If you are lucky enough to be in Hawaii during this time, you'll have the privilege of being exposed to some of the greatest products, food, craftsmanship, and entertainment Hawaii has to offer. The best part is that many of the businesses will be offering special discounted pricing, so if you're in town, make sure and go. I think I'm going to be doing my holiday shopping a little early this year.

Oils of Aloha will be at booth #134 and we'll be passing out our delicious Macadamia Oil popped popcorn, as well as introducing our new Kukui Paradise Fragranced lotion. We'll be offering all of our products at special show pricing. If you can't make it to the show, then you can use the coupon "MadeInHawaii" at checkout and you'll receive 25% off of your total order. (Make sure and omit the quotation marks when typing in the code.) This offer is good from August 16 - 20 at our website: www.oilsofaloha.com

The show is at the Neil Blaisdell Theater on August 17, 18, & 19. On Friday & Saturday, it's going from 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Visit the website http://www.madeinhawaiifestival.com for more information as well as 5% off airline travel from the mainland with Hawaiian Airlines.

Nice Blog and website. The Made in Hawaii Show is a great place to find the really unique, authentic stuff.

By the way, a friend from the mainland was wondering where (Retail) on Oahu they could find the Mac Oils. In particular, she was wondering if the gallon size was available in stores or only online?

Great products!
Thanks,
Owen

Thanks for your nice comment! Your friend's best bet is to order online or over the phone with us. Shipping is relatively inexpensive considering the weight (only $8 for one gallon & $11 for two and up.) We have several retailers carrying our 5 oz. & 12.7 oz. sizes, but none that carry the gallon size (yet.)

Make sure and remind her of our great coupon starting on the 16th! This discount will most certainly offset the shipping cost.

Thanks,
Keri

The popcorn popped in Hawaii's Gold macadamia oil and spritzed with new flavor Haleiwa Heat macadamia oil was a big hit at the show. Got no complaints from kids about it being too hot. We sold out of Haleiwa Heat by noon on Sunday.

It seems that Haleiwa Heat is going to be a really big hit. I've already found so many ways to use it to improve all the boring requirements of my "pregnancy diet." I can actually say the I enjoy eating chicken now! :-)

I should let everyone know that we'll be doing a write up on the great story behind the development of our new flavor. Also, it will be available online after September 1st. Check back soon for the blog and a the accompanying coupon.
