Jeanne's Ohana Designs: Take Notes, Send Notes, Create 'Ohana

For some companies, it's all about the product and the purchase. Then there's Jeanne's Ohana Designs, which offers not only items and assistance but genuine connection.

The aloha spirit is a guiding and fundamental part of the business, with its emphasis on compassion, respect for the natural world, and cherishing the intimate network of relationships referred to as one's 'ohana. The last of these-the bonds we make with one another as we travel through the world and the joy that closeness brings is something Jeanne's Ohana Designs takes very seriously.

Jeanne Florini, who owns and operates Jeanne's Ohana Designs, says, "One aspect of aloha is to share joy with your 'ohana, and what better way than to send a handmade card and a handwritten note; or, give a gift of an original stationery set or journal in which they can generate positive ideas and creativity?"
