As we roll into the 2021 holiday season, we wanted to inspire your holiday shopping with a list of small Maui businesses that make shopping local a walk on the beach! Shopping local is one of the best ways to support our community and give back to those striving to make Maui a better place. We live on an island full of hidden gems, brilliant artists, generous creators, and hard-working small business owners who make Maui the beautiful place that is.
This year, let's focus on uplifting Maui and all who help make it shine!
