Gifts Under $10 – and Local, too!

Is it possible to give a great gift without spending more than $10? Here at Big Island On The Cheap, we think so! The gifts you’ll find below are all under ten bucks with a bonus: they’re made in the state of Hawai‘i, making your $10 a good investment in our local economy, too. Of course, these inexpensive gift options are great for those of you on the mainland who wish to inject a little aloha into the holiday, too!

Some items are available at retail outlets on the island, while others (especially the Etsy items) are mail order only.

FOR THE LADIES:

pouch

Big and little girls alike will appreciate a small coin purse, pouch or ipod holder. Etsy seller Mom of 3 Monkeys has lots to choose from, some as low as $2.75!

Or how about a cute mini tote (only $10!) from Bad Kitty Hawai‘i?
