Shopping at Pearlridge Center in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i... Ama's Dream Shop is like a crafter's heaven! There are so many cute beads, charms, glue guns, kits, blank totes that you can decorate, patches, caps, hats, pens, plushies, keychains, hair accessories, bracelets, and more! Located on the upper level of the Mauka (mountain direction) or uptown side of the center, I parked near Macy's and took the escalator up. The most important things here are the high-quality service and the low prices! I paid way more on the mainland for charms and patches! ...and the service was very caring and sincere! I'll be back for more Hello Kitty, Stitch, Cooky from BT21, and Labubu items!

It all began with a ....D*R*E*A*M...a dream to create something magical to accessorize my new Trader Joe's mini tote bag. That dream became a reality for me the day I entered...AMA's DREAM SHOP located on the second level of Uptown Pearlridge (Macy's side). This little gem is truly a...DREAM COME TRUE! The moment I walked in, I was in "Awe!" Omg , am I...DREAMING.? The kid in me...woke up! I was so excited to begin my shopping adventure! My daughter was with me and she was just as excited as I was. We parted ways as we made our way around the shop. Ama's has everything that you can...DREAM of...a Crafter's paradise! They have cute things here such as iron on patches, jibbitz, charms, accessories (to make jewelry, key rings and etc.), labubu and disney inspired things and so many other things. You just gotta go and see for yourself. Be prepared to spend hours here, lol. We were here close to an hour and a half. After we left, I wanted to go back already! I am ADDICTED...so will you when you go. Trust me. My friend Jackie got me "HOOKED", lol. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have known this place existed. Thank you my friend for sharing and for gifting my daughter and I with one of your cute creations. You are so thoughtful! Adjacent to the store is...AMA's WORKSHOP. Jolene (Owner) took my daughter and I to visit the workshop. She was so sweet and excited to share her vision on the workshop. Here at the workshop, Crafters can come and make their...DREAMS come true by creating their handmade projects. Craft parties and gatherings can be held here, too. Inquire within about the workshop. So if you are looking for cute things and craft accessories, check out AMA's DREAM SHOP, You'll thank me for that!

Just a few of the items we purchased on 03/16/26. Glue w/designing tip and Labubu resin charms.

I was vacationing in Hawaii last month. We took our Granddaughter there and we wanted to design her cell phone case. But however, we did not have enough time in having it done. So the salesperson suggested we can purchase the basic items to compose and design the cell phone case and allow 2 days to let the glue to dry. So we did it. It came out beautiful. So we will return next year in May of 2027 and purchase more supplies to make more cell phone cases. I wanted to check the website to order more supplies and more Labubu decals for my Hydro Flask. But there is no phone number to contact the store. I love the Pearlridge Shopping Center. Please list your phone number on the Pearlridge directory website so that we can contact you for our future purchases

"Hypnotized" - Fleetwood Mac Ama's Gift Shop will definitely hypnotize you and you won't be able to get out. This is a store for: - decoden lovers - bead lovers - crafters - guys looking to pick up something really cute for their young or young-at-heart significant others - hoarders The last one wasn't meant to be a jab at the store, but rather a huge huge compliment. I am a professed hoarder of beads, baubles, trinkets, decoden and stuff that's just plain frou. Prices - super reasonable. Not like you-know-where (ahem) B-- Fr-nk-l-i-n Cr-a-fts. You can get into serious trouble here, buying a few $2.99 this - and $3.50 that, and before you know it, you'll walk out of there with an astronomical credit card bill that will blow your wallet to Uranus. Friendliness - nice people. Spoke to the owner (twice) and found out this pop-up shop may not be so pop-ish after all. They are doing very well, so may stay in this location permanently. I hope so!!! When I need my fix of cuteness I can always overdose here.

Receipt of today's purchase.  Double charged for key chain.

I was shopping here today and was double charged for a Hello Kitty keychain. It was $9.50 and I only bought one of them, along with 2 hairclaws and Sanrio PJ pants. I was overcharged $9.50 and don't see a phone number on here to call. How can you be so clumsy with your cashiering?

A crafters dream... I'm sure we've all shopped and browsed various events and have seen these cute characters and items they've been decorated with well here at AMA's Dream Shop you can find many of the parts to make it your own. Located in Pearlridge Center Mauka you can find them right next to Workshop 28 and is probably the spot formerly occupied by Express and I just love the selection they have here. As soon as I walked I noticed the cutest denim tote which is just a sample of how you can decorate it with various iron on patches...just love the idea as I have one myself that was already decorated and get lots of compliments on it. Looking through the shop there is just so much more majority of the items are found places like Japan and more where the on limit is your imagination, the staff here are so nice and can answer any questions you may have as I've asked a bunch of questions and creating something that just uniquely personalities best value ever. Thank you!

The selection!!! Unique and current! Amigurumi, Labubu and beads. Friendly staff. Welcoming store setup and easy to walk around to peruse. Found a cute outfit for my hanai niece's labubu and only $20+!

Cuteness is definitely found here along with fun stationeries and lots of hair accessories though this location in the Waimalu Plaza has the load of BT21 items I've ever seen in a single shop for its cozy size. Pink Box and N.Cat do share the same business as you see the sign on this store as well but it was nice to visit here as they do have slightly different merchandise from the other Kaneohe and Ala Moana location and with lots of free parking making it an easy stop to shop for various reasons...lol! They got great deals to bundle for multiple item purchases so if you're grabbing one for you grab one for someone and the service is very helpful if you're looking for a particular character or item. Thank you!

So many hair accessories, backpack accessories, stationery & pens, plushies and dolls for little and not-so-little girls! Wide variety of BTS items for everyone! While there, teenagers, tweens, millennials, gen-x-ers alike were browsing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. (I needed translation of something written in Korean.) And they didn't kick me out for taking a ton of photos. I expected to pay a lot for the items I chose, but the prices are very reasonable and some, were downright shockingly low!

There are dozens of…read morevendors, and yeah, some of them sell similar stuff, which honestly works in your favor if you're trying to grab souvenirs without paying Waikiki prices. But if you want something a little more special, definitely look for the local vendors. There are some great spots with handmade items. A few of my favorites that I actually bought from and brought home and I am using: - Cheeky Beach: super cute beachwear by Vivian and her son (they also have a shop in Haleiwa) - Touch of a Goddess: handmade jewelry by a mother-daughter duo - Leonardo Dale Photography: beautiful photo art of the island now displaying at my house. There's a ton to see, so go with time, it's a big market. They also have food and sometimes live music. Admission is $2 per person (cash only), and I'd recommend bringing cash since a lot of vendors don't take cards.

The stalls consolidated across the street and rather than walking all round the stadium, the stalls are lined in neat rows (some in conexs that open up to be a store. All my favorite stalls seem to have made the move - the food trucks have also made the trek across the street. Parking is available in the back and also by the tram station parking lot - just need to walk a little bit. Cost remains $1 for Kama'ainas *locals) and active duty military, $2 for all else. A great place to purchase touristy items, but also stuff you don't think you need until you see it. Check it out! I'm glad the authorities realized the need to keep the Aloha Swap Meet.

Gotta be on your toes to keep up with the best deal. They do have cute items like Marie from Aristocats, LILO and Stitch, Bluey and I even got a sweatshirt from the old cartoon Oliver and Company. Happy shopping if you like these kind of graphic attire and merchandise. Fingers crossed if the one you want is in your size.

My favorites are Hello Kitty, Strawberry Shortcake and Disney items. I mostly love the clothing and bags. I don't buy too much, but love to just browse. The sales associate asked if I needed any help. She told me about the promos that they were running. If you purchased an apparel item you get the second one for 30% off. They also had their sale racks. They had a 30% off rack and I spotted this read Mulan jacket. It was velvety, smooth and so soft. Plus, it was 30% off. I had to get it. I went to the register and paid for it. It was about $40 with the discount. Did I need it? No. Did I want it? Yes. I knew I should have stayed out of this store, lol.

This place has only been on my radar for years and I finally stopped in about a month ago for the…read morefirst time. Let's just say my budget is probably glad it took so long! First, this is on base, so you do need base access, but you do not need to have military ID to make a purchase here. Now that the Trusted Traveler program has been reinstated as Honolulu moves into Tier 3, that can make it a little easier for non-military folks to get here if someone can sponsor you in the gate. This place is a more upscale alternative to the kinds of things you might find at the Stadium Swap Meet, ABC Stores, or similar. Great for gifts and home decor, similar to Soha Living. Not quite everything is locally made, but a significant proportion is. They carry a lot of my favorites - Nick Kuchar prints, Coco Moon for baby gifts, Bradley & Lily cards and notebooks, Pura Vida. The prices are what you'd pay anywhere else, and the money goes to support military-affiliated charities. They have some clothing, keiki stuff, holiday decor, jewelry, jams and jellies, kitchen/bar items, gifts. Hours are mostly mornings (9-1 many days), but they are also open Saturdays. They do close during Christmas/New Years, so keep that in mind if you need gifts. Parking is available right out front, and it's never been crowded when I've come.
