Sandal Tree
Lahaina
It's unusual for a resort shop to draw local customers on a regular basis, but the Sandal Tree attracts a flock of footwear fanatics who come here from throughout the islands for rubber thongs and Top-Siders, sandals and dressy pumps, athletic shoes and hats, designer footwear, and much more. Sandal Tree also carries a generous selection of Mephisto and Arche comfort sandals, Donald Pliner, Anne Klein, Charles Jourdan, and beachwear and casual footwear for all tastes. Accessories range from fashionable knapsacks to avant-garde geometrical handbags -- for town and country, day and evening, kids, women, and men. Prices are realistic, too. Also at the Grand Wailea Resort, 3850 Wailea Alanui Dr., Wailea; and the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort, 200 Nohea Kai Dr., Kaanapali.It's unusual for a resort shop to draw local customers
Village Galleries in Lahaina
Lahaina
The nearly 30-year-old Village Galleries is the oldest continuously running gallery on Maui, and it's esteemed as one of the few galleries with consistently high standards. Art collectors know this as a respectable showcase for regional artists; the selection of mostly original two- and three-dimensional art offers a good look at the quality of work originating on the island. The newer contemporary gallery offers colorful gift items and jewelry. An additional location is at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua, 1 Ritz-Carlton Dr. (tel. 808/669-1800).The nearly 30-year-old Village Galleries is the oldest continuously running

Makawao
This longtime Makawao attraction is showing renewed vigor after more than 2 decades on Baldwin Avenue. It's one of my favorite Makawao stops, full of gift items and spirited clothing reflecting the ease and color of island living. Its selection of sportswear, soaps, jewelry, candles, and tasteful, marvelous miscellany reflects good sense and style. Dresses (including up-to-the-moment Citron in cross-cultural and vintage-looking prints), separates, home and bath accessories, sweaters, and other good things make this a Makawao must.This longtime Makawao attraction is showing renewed vigor after more

The two- and three-dimensional original works reflect the high standards of gallery owners Deborah and Robert Zaleski (a painter), who have just added to their roster the talented ceramic artist David Stabley, a two-time American Craft Council juror.Follow the sign down the charming shaded pathway to a
Gecko Trading Co. Boutique
Makawao
The selection in this tiny boutique is eclectic and always changing: One day it's mesh T-shirts in a dragon motif, the next it's Provence soaps and antique lapis jewelry. I've seen everything from handmade crocheted bags from New York to hammered-tin candle holders from Mexico, plus clothing from Spain and France, collectible bottles, toys, and shawls. The prices are reasonable, the service is friendly, and it's more homey than glammy -- not as self-conscious as some of the other local boutiques.The selection in this tiny boutique is eclectic and always

Hot Island Glassblowing Studio & Gallery
Makawao
You can watch the artist transform molten glass into works of art and utility in this studio at the Makawao Courtyard, where an award-winning family of glass blowers built its own furnaces.

Four to five artists participate in the demonstrations, which begin when the furnace is heated, about a half-hour before the studio opens at 9am.You can watch the artist transform molten glass into works

Hana Coast Gallery
Maui
This gallery is a good reason to go to Hana: It's an aesthetic and cultural experience that informs as it enlightens. Tucked away in the posh Hotel Hana-Maui, the gallery is known for its high level of curatorship and commitment to the cultural art of Hawaii. There are no jumping whales or dolphins here, and except for a section of European and Asian masters, the 3,000-square-foot gallery is devoted entirely to Hawaii artists, whose sculptures, paintings, prints, feather work, stonework, and carvings are featured in displays that are so natural, they could well exist in someone's home. In response to the ongoing revival of the American Crafts Movement, director-curator Patrick Robinson (of impeccable artistic integrity) has expanded the selection of koa-wood furniture with a Hawaiian/Japanese influence. Stellar artists Tai Lake from the Big Island and Randall Watkins from Maui are among those represented. Connoisseurs of hand-turned bowls will find the crème de la crème of the genre here: J. Kelly Dunn, Ron Kent, Todd Campbell, Ed Perrira, and Gary Stevens. You won't find a better selection elsewhere under one roof. The award-winning gallery has won accolades from the top travel and arts magazines in the country and has steered clear of trendiness and unfortunate tastes.This gallery is a good reason to go to Hana:

Amateur and professional magicians from around the island stream into this magic store that opens another world. Kids love this place, filled with shelves packed with tricks: candles that magically become flowers, a sponge ball that morphs into two balls, then three balls. . . . Go early, when it opens (call for hours), for a chance to "talk story" with 73-year-old owner Jimmy Zukemura, who doesn't just tell his young patrons how to do a trick, but how to make the trick into real magic.
