Special occasion lei

Question

Hello TA experts

We are arriving March 19 and my wife's 60th birthday is March 20. I have already secured dinner reservations at Break + Feast for the birthday dinner. I'd like to get a special lei for my wife for that evening. Do you have any recommendation of where I can purchase a lei for that evening?

We are staying at Kuhio Shores just outside of Poipu

Thank you

Mark

Answer

Happy early birthday to your wife! Kauai has several great options for picking up a special lei, especially around the Poipu and south shore area. Since you are staying at Kuhio Shores, you have convenient access to local florists, markets, and resorts that can provide high-quality leis for a special occasion.

Here are some recommended options:

Poipu Shopping Village Florists: There are a few flower shops within the Poipu Shopping Village that offer fresh hand-made leis. Many will do same-day custom orders if you call ahead and request a special design for a milestone birthday.
Big Save Market or Koloa Town Farmers Market: Local markets often have vendors selling fresh flower leis. While these may be simpler, they are fresh and traditional, and you can pick them up the morning of your celebration.
Resort Florists: Many nearby resorts, including the Grand Hyatt Kauai and Sheraton Poipu, have florists who can prepare premium lei arrangements. If you call ahead, they can usually make something special and may even offer delivery to Kuhio Shores.
Hula Girl Lei Stand: Located near Poipu Beach, this stand specializes in colorful, high-quality leis and can accommodate special requests. It’s best to call a day in advance for a birthday lei.

Additional Tips:

Call ahead wherever possible to ensure availability and to specify if you want a more elaborate or premium lei for the special occasion.
Consider asking for a mixed flower lei or a combination of traditional plumeria with orchids to make it extra special for a birthday celebration.
If you’d like, you can also request a “double lei” or a special arrangement that can be presented at the dinner for a memorable experience.

By planning ahead, you can make sure your wife receives a beautiful, fresh lei that will add a wonderful touch to her 60th birthday dinner at Break + Feast.
