    Strolling through Hilo town with my family, we discovered Hana Hou. It looked so adorable that I just had to go inside and see what it was all about. We walked into the store and I "ooooo'd" and "aaaaaah'd" over all the beautifully displayed items that are perfect for gifting to others or yourself (just sayin'). Hana Hou has that modern Hilo Town vibe and is a truly unique retail find because they have locally made clothing and houseware items, but also collections of lauhala mats, feather hats and rare shell necklaces. I love their Tahitian jewelry section which my husband had to drag me away from because we had a lunch appointment to get to. If you have a friend who loves Hawaiian or Polynesian items, this is for sure the place to go! I have a girlfriend who basically has her name written on 90% of the things inside Hana Hou and she is one of the most impossible people to shop for. We'll definitely be back on our next trip to Hilo for a visit to Hana Hou!

    One of the many small boutiques along the Hilo watefront district. What actually drew me into this store was a sign. It was actually a sign that I had been wondering about for some time. It was the "Kino's Used Furniture" sign. Kino refers to my great-uncle who used to have a long time business in downtown Hilo. Always interested in family history, I wondered where it went since I heard it had been sold to a local business owner. I was passing by and glanced into the shop and there it was! Anyway, this store is a nice little boutique that has all kinds of local clothing, jewelery, and accessories. Mostly geared toward the ladies, they also carry classic men's aloha shirts which are located to to rear of the store. The sales people were nice enough to let me take a picture of my great-uncle's sign and even told us that they had been in there earlier that day. Funny, since they said that they haven't seen them in quite some time. Parking is all along the Hilo storefront area.

    This is one of the very few shops in Hilo I find R worth returning to. No junky Hawaiian chatchka here. Photos here don't do this shop justice at all. The store is well-organized and displayed with many smaller items worth viewing. The owner is extremely knowledgable about jewelry and Hawaiian vintage items (and an expert re-stringer of necklaces). She's curated a small but elite collection of Hawaiian vintage clothing, house wears (such as Pyrex-like serving dishes with Hawaiian fauna beautifully etched in the glass), vintage signs, and other unique finds. I purchased the most beautiful small hand-painted lacquered box with a waterfall on it. She also has uniquely-sourced non-vintage items like beautiful woven rugs, a coral necklace a local girl dives for and carves, etc. Currently Hanu Hou has the most incredible private collection of vintage Niihau necklaces on consignment. Things I've never seen before ever -- like this photo I've added. The store collection is high-end but not unreasonably priced, and the owner is filled with aloha, friendly as ever.

    A Holiday tree display in the window of Hana Hou as unique, classy and Hawaiiana as the rest of the store.

    Great selection and Aunties that talk story if you want. Also gave a variety of hard-to-find, authentic Hawaiian ware.

    This store has really nice products. However, the old lady working there had the worst customer service!!! I never ever get anything there.

    You'd think with the name Paradise Plants that there would be a welcoming energy of Aloha....Just…read morethe opposite- an uptight owner with a negative attitude. I was told by a gentleman who was in charge of garden pots that I could buy some pots at a sale price bc there were just a few left, so I did and love them. Came back to buy the two that were left and the owner refused to honor his sales price, saying they were new and he shouldn't have done that. I left, remembering that it was not just a bad day for her but that previously she refused to let my service dog on he premises even though we had been there a few other times. Just such a buzzkill and not a place I recommend

    We own a real estate management company, an interior design company and we are real estate…read moreinvestors so we are constantly buying furniture and design elements. We have purchased many pieces of furniture, plants, art and decor from Paradise Plants over the years. Objectively speaking we have come to realize over time that our purchases from Paradise Plants were all superior in quality and often times the same price as the pieces we bought from other stores both on-island and the ones we had shipped to the island that were far inferior in look and build quality. We purchased some pretty beds from Home World. They look great, however they are very cheaply made and we have had to rebuild all of the internal parts to make them stronger as they all broke in the first year. This was a great expense. Home World sells particle board junk. We noticed the beds we purchased from Paradise Pants had solid aluminum supports instead of cheap particle board. They are all super sturdy and look amazing and were the same price as the Home World particle board junk. Paradise Plants sells quality, unique, indoor furniture at excellent prices. Bamboo and Teak down the road is also good, but mostly used stuff so a bit like shopping at a garage sale, but sometimes you get lucky. Paradise Plants has new, gorgeous pieces every time we go in all at a good price. They also have an excellent outdoor furniture brand called Lagoon that is perfect for the environment here on the island. So far, It's the only outdoor furniture that has survived at our salty oceanfront locations and our corrosive Volcano location. That brand of outdoor furniture is Puna proof! It has no steel to get rusty and is all strong durable plastics and/or non-corroding aluminum. Very happy with quality and price as none of these end up in a landfill after 1-2 years like every other brand we tried. From price, quality/longevity, beauty of pieces, to their excellent customer service and ability to deliver and setup all pieces and have a great customer experience, you won't find a better store that is locally owned and operated employing great local people.
