Gift idea for Kauai native??

Hello.

I've only lived on this island for about 4-ish months. I have a co-worker...really she's a volunteer... who does ALOT of awesome stuff for the people in my workplace. She's soon to be in her 70's, does a lot of outdoor type stuff and has basically lived here all her life. I think she was born here?

Anyway, I think she's an awesome person and I want to get her something with all this holiday shit coming up. I'm trying to figure out a cool gift to get her, so I'm reaching out to see if anybody is kind enough to shoot me some ideas.

I'm thinking of two scenarios; something reasonably priced (within $50?) I could get myself -or-

Something within -say- $100 that I could get other people to pitch in for?

Kaua'i Based Weekly Show! Ever wanted to hear the upcoming events and important information for Kaua'i in a video/podcast format? Our nonprofit is doing just that.

You ever feel like larger news corporations only cover Oahu based news? Like we're all left out?

Or even, there are so many different accounts to follow it can be impossible to keep track of all of the events?

Watch our show that we produce! Available at the links below :)

Island hopping (11/2-11/3)

E Aloha neighbors! I live O’ahu and was planning to hop over to Kauai this weekend to do some hikes but I am kinda second guessing bc of the rain we’ve been getting here on O’ahu. How’s it over on Kauai right now? Is it flooding at all? Would hiking still be do-able this weekend?

We specifically wanted to do some waterfalls and some of the Kalalau trail (not camping) just to get an idea of the terrain before eventually planning a camping trip. However, if it’s been getting drenched I might have to pass for now. I just have ants in my pants bc it’s been 6 years since I’ve been to the beautiful garden isle 😅

Edit 1: also, if anyone can has good recc’s for longboard surf spots it’d be much appreciated

Edit 2: We decided not to go! Thanks for the info everyone (:

PROTESTS IN HAENA TODAY

Today in Hā’ena a septic system was attempted to be installed over sacred iwi in the area, A group of Hawaiians tried to stop the construction from being under way but where subsequently told to vacate the area and where even arrested. Should the culture and a sacred burial ground be disregarded for a vacation rental home, most definitely not, HEWA. What should the next step be and should this project move forward even with strong objection from the Hawaiian community. When is enough enough and when will the Hawaiian culture will stop being disrespected, and our ancestors can lay to rest peacefully.

Aloha all, can anyone help me find the name of the pastor on the radio who preaches in pidgin?

About a year ago I was on the radio and came across this very lively pastor, giving his sermon in full on pidgin. He was speaking so passionately I could not stop listing. Anyways, just thought I could use some of his message right now, and was hoping someone could help me find out where to tune in. Mahalo Much.

Another Amazon post... everything I look at buying is 3-4 weeks out even with Prime. Anyone else experiencing this?

Most items I am looking at now are projecting an ETA of November 5.

I know the main Hawaii subreddit has had a number of Amazon complaint posts recently but I am not sure how relevant they are to Kauai, since most people there are in O'ahu/Honolulu.

I live in Kapahi and for about the past month Amazon has become unpalatable with how long the projected delivery times are. I have essentially stopped ordering (going from ordering nearly every day, so I'm saving a lot of money I guess).

Is anyone else experiencing this? It makes me wonder if my account/address has been shadowbanned. I need some validation.

Place to donate a non-op car on island?

Hello! I am trying to help my dad move off the island. He has a car with a dead battery that has been sitting for a couple years. We would like to donate the car somewhere or have someone come pick it up and take it. We can't locate the title yet.

Does anyone know someone who would come and take the car? We would love it to be donated if possible but if not any option will work. Thank you so much.

hi - Does anyone know of any 1 day bath remodel companies that can quickly remove a standard tub and put in a walkin shower? They have standard sized wall and floor panels that attach to the wall.

Pineapple upside down?! 🍍

Recently saw that in Spain single people are going to grocery stores between in 7-8pm and walking around with a pineapple upside down on their cars to show they are available. If you like another eligible person you bump on their grocery cart.

Shall we start a movement here?!?🤣

Lost iPhone and GoPro at Kiahuna Beach

Long story short, high tide came, some paper bags ripped and now my wife's iPhone and my go pro are MIA. We think they got buried in the sand or pulled into the ocean.

Would happily pay for someone to come out and run a metal detector over the sand at low tide and see if anything shows up.

Would love to offer a cash reward to anyone that finds one or both.

iPhone is in a salmon color case. Go pro has a helmet attachment on it.

We got some great footage of our 4 year old surfing on the go pro. Sad to see it go, but happy to have been there with him catching waves.

Rough location is on the beach in the sand near the stairs furthest from the Kiahuna surf school shack (by the shower), and maybe 20 feet towards the surf shack. We think they fell out of the bag at high tide (so close to the bushes).

Anyway, thanks for your help!
