The whole store is made up of Hawaiian themed merchandise. There were jewelry, cards, body care items and tons of clothes. They have some really cute items. My friend purchased a set of plastic flower beads to string together to make a necklace. What caught my eye that I really wanted was the sunrise shell necklace. I've always wanted one. The shell has the pink and yellow colors on it to mimic the sunrise. I'm contemplating on getting it as I've wanted one for a while.

All curated for those with an eye of minimalism and simplicity. The prices here are fair as I feel that the quality really exceeds the average patron. I purchased a water bottle that has traversed the United States with me and has done well. A few incenses that smelled amazing and a few other items. The guy at the cash register was super friendly too. We had a small talk about mid century modern vibes and it was great to speak to someone that had a real good sense of the vibe I was trying to aim for.

Super cute/kawaii, inviting shop with genuinely warm service and good vibes. They currently…read morepredominately have officially licensed items for characters like Rilakuma and Kewpie mayo baby. It's cool that some of the products are specially distributed through Moni. I was hoping they'd have Snoopy too but none at the moment at least. I was so happy that my husband mentioned this place and we ended up here during our last morning in Honolulu. Definitely worth a stop if you're into kawaii, Japanese goodies and stationery, but also could be worth being aware of which characters are currently featured. A lot of the items, such as their various stickers, are reasonably and fairly priced -- more so than other similar shops. Vivid print quality too. Other items were tad too pricey for me to justify (e.g. $8 for a very tiny thin canvas drawstring bag and other small pouches in the $30+ range).

I love the switch up!

Over the years I've enjoyed the variety of plants she has available with earthy ceramic pots, natural fragrance items, home decor, crystals and handmade jewelry. Every time I wear earrings she's made I get the best compliments. Each set is one of a kind and unique. The Ginger13 oasis is located in Marks Garage on Pauahi Street. I recommend parking in the open lot off Nuuanu and Beretania or the underground municipal parking lot just past Nuuanu on Beretania. It's safe and close to the variety of local shops in the area.

A graphic circulating on Instagram this holiday season really stuck with me. It highlighted how…read morepowerful shopping small can be. If each person spent $ at a small business instead of a big online retailer, imagine how much money would be reinvested into our local economy. I took that message to heart. I've been frequenting Ginger13 for years, and supporting Cindy is always a joy. She creates truly one of a kind pieces, and her aloha spirit shines through in everything she does. You don't just shop here. You feel welcomed and inspired. I spent nearly two hours in the store just days before Christmas, and narrowing down my choices was nearly impossible. Every corner is filled with beautiful, thoughtfully curated items, all at incredibly reasonable prices. On top of that, Cindy offers exceptional customer service. If anything ever happens to your unique piece, you are in the best hands. Make a day of it and stop by Mille Fête as well to support another amazing local woman entrepreneur who is absolutely crushing it. Treat yourself to stunning home goods and jewelry at Ginger13, then reward yourself with something sweet from this phenomenal bakery. Thank you, Cindy and Mindy. Wishing you a prosperous and abundant Year of the Tiger.

The food wasn't coming from here, but my daughter just had to see what was inside. So we came in to just look. Sugarcane is this cute shop where you can find all these locally made items for a gift, for the home, fir kids, for a friend, or for visitors. They have books, puzzles, toys jewelry, totes, bags, coasters and more. I love the wooden toys for the kids. I bought a wooden cell phone, a camera, stickers and a cute cooking set. They are my kiddos favorite toys. I've gotten key chains and jewelry for gifts. We have coasters for our home too. The workers are pretty friendly and they also wrapped my gift item too. The items seem pricey, but they are locally made and are unique. I don't think you'll find any ship with the same kind of item that Sugarcane carries. Overall, this is a great place to get gifts and maybe something for yourself. Beware of bringing your children. They will make you buy everything.
