Find the Perfect Gift at These Locally Owned Maui Boutiques
Support Maui by supporting these small businesses.
Maui has every kind of shop you can imagine, from big-box retailers to small, locally owned boutiques. And we suggest the latter to find unique gifts and souvenirs. Here are three shops we’ve recently discovered—and you should, too.

Shoppers can also browse a selection of products by local artisans, including soap from Keālia Organics, candles by Hale Plume and Hawaiian chili pepper sauce from Kaua‘i Juice Co.
