- Welcome to island Gift Shop, a vibrant duty-free haven nestled in the departure lounge of Henderson Airport. Since 2024, we have proudly showed the rich culture and heritage of the Solomon Islands through a curated selection of handcrafted goods and authentic local treasures.
Our Story
Island Gift Shop is the dream-turned-reality of sisters Agnes and Vivian Saleautu, whose shared passion for promoting local culture laid the foundation for this unique establishment. Rooted in the values of dedication and community, the shop is more than a business – its a legacy.
For Agnes, each day is an opportunity to greet travellers with a warm smile and share the story of the Solomon Islands. “Every day is a learning experience,” she says. “I meet people from around the world and tell them about our diverse culture and vibrant arts.”
What we offer
Our shop is a celebration of local artisans and their exceptional craftmanship. From traditional carvings to contemporary handmade jewellery, each piece tells a story of the islands’ heritage.
