What would be a good wedding favor for a Hawaii themed wedding?

My brother in law is getting married June 6th of this year. I was asked to come up with ideas for wedding favors. Leis are going to be given out so that is not something they want to use as a favor. Can anyone help me or give me any ideas please?

1. ummm go here... http://hawaiianweddingshop.com/centerpieces.html plz answer mine... http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApLhkFloY09gaPmksioAn1jpy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090516171556AA6FAv2 heres some more http://www.favorideas.com/wedding-themes/beach-themes/15-favor-ideas-for-your-hawaiian-wedding/ http://www.favorideas.com/shopping/hawaiian-tropical-wedding-favors.html just look up hawiian wedding favors on google!
2. I live in Hawaii. Usually, i see a lot of people getting married at a beach. After the ceremony, they have a limousine driving them and their family around to take pictures at different beaches around the island. Is he getting married on Oahu (Honolulu)? There are a lot of wedding packages out there. I am so excited for them!!!! Have a good one.
3. I used personalized matchbooks for my wedding favor. I had our monogram on them ,but they can put palm trees or pineapples on them. We had votive candles in little glass holders as favors too. They had little tags on them with a cute little quote telling the guest to take them. I had envisioned that the guests would use the matches to light the votives during the reception and then blow them out and take them home. But then the people from the catering center went and lit them before anyone got there, so everyone just assumed they were part of the decorations and now I have 200 glass votives laying around! But the guests really liked the matches. Most favors you just throw away as soon as you leave the reception (who really wants a picture frame with someone else's initials on it anyway). But everyone uses matches and I've had a lot of people tell me they really liked it. Plus, we had extras and now we have monogrammed matches to use at our house! If they don't like the matches idea, they can also do something with shells. Shells are cheap at craft stores and they can make little decorations using shells.
4. Personalized Hersheys miniatures, or kisses, or regular sized candies with a tropical motif and thier wedding date. Or special order m&ms in tropical colors. A mixed cd with relaxing/tropical music. If its going to be an outdoor wedding, they could have flip flops. Cookies in the shape of hawaii related things like the island, palm trees, hibiscuses, etc. I personally like the cookie idea, you could wrap them in a brightly colored cellophane and they would be really cute. Thats all i can think of sorry!

6. I think a great wedding favor that would go great with the theme would be those fold out fans. They can be personalized. Here's some that I found: http://www.candlesandsuch.com/silk-wedding-fans.html
7. Something flavored or scented with coconut or pineapple.
8. There are these hawaiian cookies that you can put in boxes which are these little boxes woven out of leaves. They are really cute. You can make them yourself or check out the website below. http://www.auntienalaniscookies.com/index.html

10. Flip Flops come to mind. Since it is Hawaii and people might be travelling to attend, these Flip Flop Luggage Tags might be the perfect favor: http://www.favorsandaccessories.com/flip-flop-luggage-tag.html
11. Chocolate Macadamian nuts are really popular from Hawaii. Why not wrap some of those up in cellophane and tie with ribbon?
12. They have a really great selection of beach-themed favors at FavorWarehouse.com http://www.favorwarehouse.com/c/summer-theme-wedding-favors/Summer+Theme+Favors.html I especially love this Tropical Drink Candle Holder http://www.favorwarehouse.com/pc/D3763/summer-theme-wedding-favors/Stylish+Tropical+Drink+Design+Resin+Candle+Holder.html which comes complete with a tea light candle, and looks much more expensive than it actually is! Another beachy option is these cute travel candle tins http://www.favorwarehouse.com/pc/xEOS2010-BEACH/summer-theme-wedding-favors/Personalized+Beach+Theme+Travel+Candle+Favors.html These will be a nice treat for guests to light and relax when they get back to their hotel rooms :) If a lot of people will be traveling for the wedding, these silver luggage tag favors with an embossed seashell design would work well too http://www.favorwarehouse.com/pc/D4238/summer-theme-wedding-favors/Beach+Theme+Luggage+Tag.html Hope this helps! And enjoy the wedding! :)
