Three Men and a Lady would like to welcome our newest sponsor Sai’s Gifts…who is also my lovely mom! I hadn’t realized how BIG giving lei’s at graduation has become. I knew it was big in Hawaii but the tradition of giving “Aloha” has spread to the mainland as well.
At my husband’s graduation she gave him two money lei’s, each lei had $100.00 in dollar bills! He could hardly get to the car without swarms of people asking him where he got his lei’s from. After that day my mom had orders to make lei’s from strangers!
To order your money lei go to Sai’s etsy store here. They made great gifts for graduation, birthdays, anniversarys or any special occasion and the best part is the money can be used for spending!

Hey there! I’m Michelle; I’m an Passionate DIY’er and in constant pursuit of how to bring beauty to my house full of men (3 boys + 1 hubby). Stick around and see what I’ve got up my hard-working sleaves!
I graduated last year with my undergrad… and was surprised at all of the leis. I graduate next month with my MBA – and will probably be passing your site along to MY mom! 😀 I think they are fantastic. P.S. Off topic, but I am looking for ideas for chic looking white boards for my office. I need the practicality of the white board, but would prefer something that looks good. I am thinking 2 (one for work and one for home). I got as far as crown modeling and vinyl lettering, but I haven’t’ seen anything like that out there. I immediately thought of you and your blog. Have you come across anything like I’ve described? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Oh, thats soooo cool!
shout out to your mom!!! 🙂 great idea.
Okay, this is a trend I’ve not heard about…guess it has been awhile since I’ve actually attended a graduation! Great gifts, all the best to your mom!!
I love seeing the leis! We have a large Samoan community here so I always get to see the leis at graduations! 😉
Congratulations on the recent sponsor. I noticed those when you announced he graduated. Fabulous idea.
