You still dunno what for buy your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day on Wednesday? Author and playwright Lee A. Tonouchi, aka “Da Pidgin Guerrilla,” offers his thoughtful suggestions:
1. Megan Honda’s Sweet Inspirations mochi rolls have been so popular at da farmers market at Fort Street Mall that they frequently sell out. To keep up with demand, she decided for create Cinnamochi Mix so fans can make their own mochi rolls or butter mochi at home.
Using this mix you can even surprise your significant other this Valentine’s with some breakfast in bed: Cinnamochi waffles! Da 16-ounce bag of Cinnamochi Mix is $10 at Dave’s Ice Cream in Aiea, 98-820 Moanalua Road.

2. Da time Princess Leia and Han Solo first expressed their love for one anoddah resulted in probably one of da most unromantic but still yet incredibly romantic lines in all of movie cinema, so why not “Star Wars” couples’ tees?
I asked superfan Chloe Ludwig if da girl gotta wear da Princess Leia one and if da boy gotta wear da Han Solo one. She adamantly said, “Nuh-uh!” I dunno if these T-shirts going make couples fight or what; I know everybody wants for wear “I know.”
The 100 percent cotton T-shirts are $28 each at Box Lunch at Pearlridge Uptown and Ala Moana Center.
3. So many women in Hawaii love da ocean, so this 14-karat-gold-filled wave in da heart design bangle ($74) and ring ($39) at Sweet Okole Jewelry kiosk at Pearlridge Uptown would make da perfect gift for da water woman in your life.
Even if da girl you love hates da beach, you can still make up something poetic-sounding, brah. Try go tell, “My love for you stay boundless like da sea.”
Now das deep. See more at instagram.com/sweetokolejewelry.
4. Show off how well you know your loved one by filling out the “642 Things About You (That I Love)” mini journal by the San Francisco Writers’ Grotto (Chronicle, $9.95 at Target).
For examples, one question asks that you write down your guys’ first inside joke as a couple. New couples, you can buy two copies and fill ’em out togeddahs as your relationship grows.
5. We tink of romantic love and familial love on Valentine’s, but what about our love for da aina? I know lotta guys who hate carrying around reusable shopping bags cuz dey say totes look girlie.
Das why I thought the collapsible Hershel Packable Daypack made of lightweight poly-ripstop fabric with adjustable straps wuz kinda neat. When packed up, it measures approximately 6.5 by 4 by 2 inches, but da ting can expand to 17.75 by 12.5-by 5.5 inches. No excuse for not saving da environment now.
Comes in assorted colors and designs for $30 at T&C Surf shops.
