I was lucky enough to call Hawaii home for eight years. One day I was mailing a care package home and asked the postal clerk what was the most unique thing the clerk had ever shipped. She replied "Live bees [holy cow!] and hand painted coconuts". Lisa couldn't believe you could send a hand painted coconut without a box through the mail. I loved to paint and there were coconuts everywhere. So I began painting coconuts and sending them to family in the mainland for Christmas and birthdays. It was such a hit with them, I decided to take it "global".

Since 1996, Coconut Greetings has been sending coconuts world wide. The art staff has grown to 18 painters, so we can offer fast turnaround on large or small painted coconut and decal coconut orders. In that time we've strived to become as environmentally conscious as we can. All of our products are recycled or eco-friendly, with the exception of our paints. We searched and searched for eco-friendly paints that would work on our products, to no avail. For that reason we use acrylic based paints.

All in all, we have pretty darn earth-friendly gig going on. Recycling coconuts is just a good idea and we would love to paint some for you!
