A gift means more when it gives back. With Me Ke Aloha, every box you send supports local Hawai‘i artisans and shares the genuine warmth and story of the islands. 💫

Modern gifting isn’t about plastering your logo everywhere. It’s about creating a sensory, thoughtful experience that aligns with your brand values.

Whether you’re gifting in NYC or San Francisco, Hawai‘i resonates.

At Me Ke Aloha, we serve companies of all sizes, from small, mighty teams to Fortune 500 firms, and every order receives the same white-glove care.

At Me Ke Aloha, we don’t just pick pretty products. We put every edible item through a local taste test panel.

Corporate gifting has a reputation for being overwhelming. That’s exactly why most companies settle for forgettable gifts. They’re convenient.

The bar for event experiences keeps rising. So why are we still handing out the same old branded water bottles and random swag?

More companies are embracing sustainability, but many are forgetting that gifting is part of that equation too.

What you give reflects what you value.

In today’s world, generic gifts feel like afterthoughts.
And for high-level clients, anything that feels transactional or templated sends a loud message: “You’re just another account.”

Today’s branded gifting isn’t about putting your logo on everything. It’s about creating a sensory experience that aligns with your brand values and aesthetics.

Corporate gifting isn’t a cherry on top. It’s a tool. A signal. A strategy.

In a world where top talent and employee relationships are hard-won, and easily lost, your ability to make people feel seen, valued, and connected directly impacts your bottom line.

Employee appreciation isn’t just about checking a box or handing out swag bags once a year. It’s about reinforcing belonging, loyalty, and recognition.

If we haven’t had the chance to meet yet, I’m so happy you’re here—and I’d love to share the story of how my experience in event planning led me to build a brand rooted in love, culture, and community.

At Me Ke Aloha, we believe appreciation should be meaningful, memorable, and intentional. Our curated Hawaii-made gift sets are designed to make your team feel truly valued, featuring thoughtfully selected, high-quality products that reflect the warmth and gratitude you want to express.

The holiday season is just around the corner, and the search for meaningful, memorable gifts is in full swing! This year, make your gifting truly special by choosing items that celebrate the beauty, culture, and spirit of Hawai'i.

Beautiful packaging transforms a gift into a memorable experience. It builds anticipation, enhances the unboxing, and makes each detail feel intentional. When a recipient sees a well-packaged gift, it immediately conveys care and thoughtfulness, setting the stage for an unforgettable moment.

Personalized, meaningful gifts let clients know they are valued. When you invest in thoughtful gifting, you nurture trust and create deeper connections, leading to a more engaged, satisfied client base.

When you choose Me Ke Aloha, you’re directly supporting Hawai'i's vibrant artisan community. Every purchase fuels the growth of local creators and helps sustain traditional Hawaiian crafts, enabling artisans to continue their passion for creating.

Loosely translated, "Me Ke Aloha" means "with love." However, its meaning extends far beyond the literal translation. Aloha is a way of life in Hawaii, embodying love, compassion, kindness, and a deep connection to others and the world around us.
