🌈 Inspiration Behind the Lei

We had planned to spend Christmas in Hawaii with Maddie in 2022 before she was diagnosed. Although she was ultimately too sick to make that trip, we traveled there together to honor her Angel-versary one year later. We celebrated Maddie's beautiful life with a picnic on the North Shore of Oahu, sending letters and throwing leis into the Pacific, a Hawaiian tradition. We know she would love this new addition - giving leis as our symbol of thanks and gratitude - to Magic for Maddie!

🌺 Gratitude and Thanks

"Mahalo" is a Hawaiian word meaning thanks, gratitude, and admiration, so, Mahalo for helping us leave a little extra sparkle!
