About Us
Handmade on Kauai by me, Amy Christmas and my husband Ron-a passion which became our business! We have been creating and perfecting them for more than 20 years.
The baskets are assembled from a wealth of recycled local plant materials, each starting with the shaping of a single palm frond into the base. Several varieties of palms are used, offering different sizes, colors, and textures. All of the baskets are adorned with unique combinations of other dried indigenous plant parts including leaves, pods, fruits, branches, and flowers. The natural earth-tones accentuate any decor, while the range of sizes offer endless possibilities for display. They are "Pieces of Paradise" made with Aloha that reflect the beauty of the "Garden Isle" and will truly be treasured by all who receive them.
We are proud to be one of the charter licensed members of the Kauai Made Program. Screening is County regulated to ensure you are getting a product that is truly a piece of Kauai.
We are proud to be one of the licensed members of this State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture Program. Screening is State regulated to add another layer of assurance you are getting a value added Agricultural product created here in the Aloha State.

"I wanted to let you know that my palm basket arrived and it’s BEAUTIFUL! I absolutely love it and have put it in my office as a daily reminder of how much both John and I love our annual Kauai vacation. Every time I look at it, I think to myself, “Oh, the stitching is definitely my favorite part. No, no, the pod is. No, wait, the leaves are. Oh – I think the colors are…..” Ha! Suffice to say I’m in love with my basket.
​I’ve bookmarked your website so that when I’m ready to buy a special gift I know exactly where to go."

"Just wanted to let you know that my palm baskets arrived in Iowa last week. I love them both. Thank you for picking out a different, larger basket for me. Can't wait to get them hung up for display.
You and your husband are very talented. It is so hard to find true artisan and crafts people as we travel anymore. I appreciate that you use your local treasures to create pieces that people can take home with them to remember the beautiful places they've been."
