Kailua Town’s 125-plus shops and restaurants, together with convenient parking, add up to a stress-free destination for holiday shopping. With dozens of locally owned small businesses, it’s easy to find unique gifts for everyone on your list, from keiki to kupuna (and canines, too).
We did some of the leg work for you during a recent stroll through Kailua Town. The rest of the exploring is up to you! And mark your calendar for two upcoming shopping events you won’t want to miss: Black Friday Weekend and their annual Holiday Sip + Shop event.

For stocking stuffers or office Secret Santa gifts, check out mini desktop reed diffusers from Lanikai Bath & Body in holiday scents, or the Mokulua Surf Co. car diffuser/ornaments—available in both floral and holiday fragrances. Their refillable perfume bracelets with shell bands and medallions are also a hit.
