Hawaiian Host Named Hawaiʻi's #1 Omiyage Brand for the Second Consecutive Year

There’s something truly special about giving a gift from Hawaiʻi.

For generations, the tradition of omiyage has been a meaningful way to share aloha, express gratitude, and strengthen connections with family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones. More than a souvenir, omiyage is a thoughtful gesture that carries the spirit of a place, and the memories made there.

That’s why we’re honored to share that Hawaiian Host has been voted Hawaiʻi's #1 Omiyage (Souvenir/Gifting) Brand in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser's Hawaiʻi's Best Awards for the second year in a row.

This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the community we proudly serve. To be chosen by those who have welcomed Hawaiian Host into their homes, celebrations, travels, and gifting traditions is a privilege we are deeply grateful for.

For nearly a century, Hawaiian Host has helped people share the flavors of Hawaiʻi with those they care about most. What began with the creation of the original chocolate-covered macadamia nut has grown into a beloved gifting tradition, connecting people across generations and geographies.

As we approach our 100th anniversary, our commitment remains the same: to create memorable gifts that embody the warmth, hospitality, and spirit of aloha that make Hawaiʻi so special. This award is a reflection of the passion and dedication of our team, the support of our retail partners, and, most importantly, the trust of our customers who continue to choose Hawaiian Host for life's meaningful moments.

Whether you’re visiting the Islands or carrying a piece of home with you wherever you go, mahalo nui loa for your continued support and for choosing us as your go-to gift. 🤎
