    Super cute ornaments and a large selection of olukais to choose from - literally exactly what we were looking for when we walked in! Super nice lady working the cashier too, will definitely be back for family Christmas presents

    Love it!

    This store is a must go place in Honolulu, everything made in Hawaii. Visiting here for the best memories

    So many different wooden pieces!

    Island sole has tons of footwear as well as the perfect customizable Hawaii souvenir or gift by a brand named CocoNene! This shop is located on the ground level outside of the ground level food court. Although it's a little pricey, I love my souvenir to commemorate our wedding anniversary in Hawaii! You choose a wooden longboard base size, fill it up with wooden letters, characters, photo frames, plant decor, or animals. There are so many to choose from! The base itself says "made in Hawaii" and the decor is all Hawaii / tropical themed. The base I purchased which was the biggest one along with 9 separate pieces cost almost $70, but no regrets! The letters and icons that are placed into the longboard base are NOT stable or permanently placed into it unless you glue it yourself. It should definitely be in a sturdy place and kept away from children. You can keep changing up the design if you get a bunch of different pieces. The friendly staff member thanked me for shopping local and I'll definitely be back to make more for loved ones!

    Island Sole sells footwear but what brought me to the store were their cute made in Hawaii souvenirs made of wood. They have these fun build your own longboard letter sets where you can choose a picture frame and add letters or character attachments. The employee named Naomi was incredibly nice and fun to work with. She helped us with the longboard pieces and was so patient with us. I told her where we were heading after shopping at Ala Moana and she gave us some helpful traffic tips for getting around the island.

    My choice

    I love this shop! If you are looking for unique Made in Hawaii souvenirs, this is the shop you must check! It was like a puzzle , I picked a small surfboard base first. Then I tried so many items to put in the slots. I chose these 3 items, then, I tried different color items.... The sales person gave me an advice if I need! I also got Christmas ornaments. She put each of them in a gift bag with different background paper! She checked color of ornament, then picked perfect match background paper. She was awesome! It's located near the center stage, mountain side. Those 4 items I got was little over $50, so the gift box was free (as of 9/14/2023).

    Obsessed!! Got a bunch of adorable Christmas gifts here. Customized on a wooden board with names/initials and other little trinkets. I seriously spent over an hour in here and could've spent all day lol. Totally recommend for gifts.

    Lived on Hawaii my whole life and never bothered checking Ala Moana downstairs! Glad I did because my cousin and I found the cutest Hawaiiana store and I couldn't help myself! Thank you to Naomi for making the experience so nice :)

    Really cool local artists made picture frames super unique and beautiful!

Buyer beware here is their response for me to take care of this on my own. For the price and support this is a 1 star would be zero if possible. That said, here are some suggestions you may consider to help manage or improve the condition: Use a wood filler or repair putty to smooth out the split area, followed by a light sanding and touch-up stain. Apply furniture wax or sealant to protect the wood from absorbing excess moisture in the future. Maintain stable room conditions by keeping the furniture away from direct sunlight, heaters, or damp areas to minimize further expansion or contraction. Engage a local furniture repair service if you'd prefer a professional touch-up. We'll be closing the claim since this type of concern is not covered under the warranty.
