An eco-friendly gift at Red Pineapple.

Nalani Holliday of Red Pineapple in Ward Centre is one of our local buyers who really gets her customers. She loves to go to Mainland gift shows with Island customers in mind, scooping up everything from Dean & Deluca yummies to adorable ’50s-inspired aprons. I just love what she does during all the holidays with fun and frivolity reining supreme throughout her little boutique. It cheers me up just to walk in there.

This little Eco-Hashi ($10) idea is perfect for the eco-conscious year of 2010. For the greenie on your list, give ‘em their own hashi (chopsticks) and napkin they can take with them wherever they go. No more wasting wood and paper.
