* An everlasting lei is a garland or wreath that is woven together with various materials such as artificial flowers and leaves that are crafted together using various techniques and styles to create a lei to be worn around the neck (lei 'a'i) or on the head (lei po'o).

* The best part of an Everlasting Lei is that it is fragrance free, free of pollen and allergens, and it can last for years!

* the Aloha spirit is infused into each Everlasting Lei during the process of lei making and continues to transmit from the maker, to the presenter, and to the recipient.

* Leis could be worn closed or open-ended.

* We could create a lei as a necklace, choker, crown, wristlet, or anklet.

* We create our leis using patterns, layers, twists, and other variations of colors, flowers, and materials.

* The sewing/piercing technique using a string and needle is called “kui”

* The twisting/cording technique is called "hilo"

* The knotting/fastening technique is called "hipu'u"

* The braiding/arranging technique is called “haku”

* The wrapping/winding technique is called “wili”

* Anyone could wear a lei. Any age, any gender, for any occasion!

* Leis are usually gifted for special occasions such as a welcoming gift, departing gift, birthday celebrations, anniversaries, wedding ceremonies, reunions, graduations, promotions, retirement, or presented to any valued guests.

* Leis are not always gifts, leis could also be selected personally by the guest of honor(s) themselves. If you know what you want, you deserve to get just that!

* Every lei represents aloha. “Hello”, “goodbye”, and “I love you”. Ultimately, a lei is gift therefore, the selected flowers and colors may hold meaning to the presenter or recipient, i.e. favorite colors are flowers can be selected for the birthday celebrant, pink or blue are popular colors for baby showers, white flowers are commonly selected for weddings, school colors are selected for graduates.

* When someone presents a lei to the recipient they would generally hold the lei with two hands, shoulder width apart, and place the lei over the recipients head, lower it to the shoulders having the lei hang 1/4 towards the back and 3/4 on the chest (with the ribbon/garnish sitting a few inches below the shoulders).

* Some people say that you should wear the lei garnish on the side that you would wear your ring i.e. if you are taken, wear it on your left and if you are single, wear it on the right.

* It is customary for the recipient to bow just slightly to accept the lei followed by a hug or a peck on the cheek.

* It is considered rude to not accept a lei. It is also disrespectful to take off the lei in the presence of it's presenter.

* Present the lei as if you are crowning a pageant queen.

* Presenting a lei po’o has it’s challenges. Preferred method is to tie the lei po’o prior to presenting it (they can always readjust it themselves). You may also place the lei po’o on the recipient and tie a bow from behind but be careful not to tie their hair into the bow.

* A lei po’o is usually worn on the top half of the forehead parallel to the ground when looking straight forward but, whichever way fits your style and comfort should work just fine!

* The great thing about artificial flowers are that they can last years!

* An Everlasting lei may be reused, recycled, or even re-gifted!

* The Aloha spirit never fades and can only grow stronger.

* The best way to keep an Everlasting Lei as good as new is by storing it in a container (to prevent dust or odors), store it in a cool and dry place, and by keeping it away from direct sunlight (to preserve its vibrant colors).

* Do not tug or pull on flowers as this may tear the petals and destroy the lei. Loose flowers could also be reconstructed. Ask us how.
