He Lei Nou
"A Lei for you"

As much as people joke about"getting lei'd in Hawaii," the act of giving someone a lei is truly an intimate interaction between the one giving and the one receiving. A lei's purpose includes distinguishing someone who is being celebrated as well as signifying peace between two parties. When tourism became a Hawaii staple, greeting people with leis at the aloha tower upon their arrival became a common practice still exercised today. The sweet smell of a pikake or kenikeni can be one of the best welcoming environments.
