Collecting Hawaiina Gifts Collectible Keepsakes



Welcome To Rare Antiques Collectibles and Memorabilia.

With the modern commercial air travel in the 1950’s somebody who was ‘somebody’, Hawaii was the place to be. Since more and more tourists came to the tropical islands the need for more souvenirs was clear.

Tourists like to take a piece of tropical paradise with them when they went back home.
Savvy business minded folks capitalize on the great market and soon after, the souvenir industry was booming.


The craze caught on and they termed it Hawaiina. To collect Hawaiina gifts collectible keepsakes is a sort of labor of love. There are many to choose from, like the popular hula girls lamps that was first made as carnival prize give away but the demand was high.

The hula girl lamps were now sold exclusively from stores . Before the prices of hula girl lamps would fetch at five dollars a piece. Today an authentic piece would fetch at three thousand dollars.


Then there’s the hula girl nodder or what is popularly known as the dashboard hula dolls. They were imported from Japan and they too became so popular .


Really there is one item for everyone in the family. For dad, there’s a tiki mug, for mom there’s a wooden calabash platter, for sister there’s a whole array of colorful sarongs, ukuleles for your musical friends and for big brother a wooden vintage hawaiin surfboard and hula grass skirt costume for little baby sister.


Just go to your favorite hawaiin site or store and indulge and get the feel of fun and excitement of the tropical island paradise.
