| "Candy" comes ultimately from an Indian word khanda 'a piece; a piece of sugar' (possibly of Dravidian origin) through Persian qand 'sugar', Arabic qandah 'candy', and French (sucre) candi.[1]. Candies are prepared by dissolving sugar in water or milk to form a syrup, and boiling it until it reaches the desired concentration, or starts to caramelize.

Woman wearing a plumeria lei and making the shaka sign Lei is a Hawaiian word for a garland or wreath. The most popular concept of a lei in hawaiian culture is a wreath of flowers draped around the neck presented upon arriving or leaving as a symbol of affection. This concept was popularized through tourism between the Hawaiian Islands and the continental United States in the 19th and 20th centuries. More loosely defined, a lei is any series of objects strung together with the intent to be worn. A lei (na lei is the plural in the Hawaiian language) may be composed of a pattern or series of just about anything, but most commonly consists of fresh natural foliage such as flowers, vines, or fern fronds. Among the flowers used are the plumeria, lehua blossom or the orchid, though maile leaves are extremely popular as well as traditional among hula dancers. Other types of lei may include sea or land shells, feathers, plastic flowers, fabric, paper (including origami and monetary bills), candy, words (as in a song), or anything that can be strung together in a series or pattern and worn as a wreath or a necklace. Children and sweethearts are poetically refered to as "lei" and many ancient and modern songs and chants refer to this imagery. Lei may be open or closed, depending on circumstance. The eight most common methods of making lei are: haku - three-ply braid incorporating additional materials.
