Why Handcrafted Gifts Are the Best Gifts for the Holidays
Handcrafted gifts bring personal meaning to holiday giving. They reflect the skill and imagination of their makers, show that you chose thoughtfully, and give the recipient something with a story worth sharing. Choosing work by American artisans also helps sustain creative livelihoods and keeps craftsmanship alive in our communities. From koa boxes and original paintings to beautifully made everyday accessories, the best artisan gifts offer pleasure long after the wrapping comes off. A handcrafted gift invites that connection from the beginning. Someone selected the wood, considered the proportions, shaped the surface, or mixed the colors. Someone cared enough to keep refining the piece until it expressed what they wanted to create. When you choose that work for someone you love, you add your own thoughtfulness to the maker’s effort.

How Glass Art Brings Color, Light, and Imagination into Your Home
Glass art offers an extraordinary range of expression—from luminous abstract forms and dramatic ocean-inspired sculptures to playful sea creatures and whimsical everyday objects. Choosing a meaningful piece begins with looking at its color, shape, texture, craftsmanship, and relationship with light. Glass offers an unusually expansive way to bring art into a home. It can introduce luminous color, suggest the force of nature, carry a cultural story, or offer a small moment of delight.

How Can You Tell if Something is Made from REAL Hawaiian Acacia Koa?
Genuine Hawaiian koa has a beauty that comes from natural variation: warm colors, individual grain patterns, and, in some pieces, luminous curl that changes as light moves across the wood. Other woods that may look like Hawaiian Koa may not be from Hawaii at all and will not have any heritage or connection to Hawaiʻi. When purchasing a koa furnishing, bowl, box, or sculpture, establish three things: what the wood is, where the piece was made, and who made it. Ask for written certification identifying genuine Hawaiian koa, confirming that the particular piece was crafted in Hawaiʻi, and naming the responsible craftsperson or craftspeople. Verbal assurance from a cashier should not be taken for truth, without actual certification. Demand written certification pertaining to the actual piece you are buying. ...

Hawaiʻi artist Mark Brown paints the islands with an expressive energy that reflects his deep affection for the place he calls home. His impressionist paintings bring together vivid color, richly textured paint, and a personal response to Hawaiʻi’s landscapes and everyday life. From Diamond Head and Makapuʻu to quieter places that catch his eye, his subjects reveal both familiar beauty and unexpected discoveries. His love of plein air painting puts him outdoors, responding to passing clouds, sudden rain, and fleeting changes in light. Brown is represented exclusively by Martin & MacArthur. He welcomes commissions that reinterpret collectors’ meaningful places, personal photographs, and family memories through his distinctive artistic vision.

We love shopping here.
I bought my husband a Koa Wood watch from here. We also bought Koa wood wedding bands recently and a beautiful Koa wood picture frame. It's a great place to purchase a little of Hawaii to bring home. Things that mean something and have purpose. Not to mention, things that get others attention. My husband gets lots of compliments on his watch! Staff is always nice. They truly give a little Aloha spirit.-Christie R. Honolulu, HI

Went into the store expecting to see items geared toward the Maui tourist, and was pleasantly surprised to find high quality, island-made goods. We ended up buying our wedding rings here. (The sales associate) is awesome and was very patient as we decided on a style. They are highly recommended.-

This is a great shop. They have all sorts of fabulous Hawaiian gifts and locally made art, jewelry and other souvenirs. The gifts here are upscale yet in many cases affordable. I couldn't resist leaving without purchasing a cute necklace first. Definitely stop in here and check it out...the service is friendly and nice too!-

My custom Koa furniture arrived one week early. Was packaged so well for protection through delivery. High quality, definitely exceeded our expectations. The store's staff were very easy to work with throughout the entire ordering process. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.-

I went here today with a friend who was looking at watches. J gave incredible service from start to finish. He answered questions on the phone, helped us feel comfortable trying on each of the beautiful watches we wanted to see on our wrists and in the end I was able to find a beautiful print from Heather Brown that J was kind enough to wrap nicely for me to take home.-

For some reason, I've always felt intimidated to go inside of Martin & MacArthur because it seemed like it would be out of my price range. However, last week I was pleasantly surprised with this store.
Yes, there are things here that are pretty pricey. However, there are also items that are less than $100 like their koa bracelets. The great thing about this place is that they sell well-made, quality products that are absolutely beautiful. I have a few weddings this summer, and I know that I'll probably be coming here for gifts.-Camilla C. Honolulu, HI
