This shop is located at the Waimalu Shopping Center right next to Chun Wah Kam! Right now this shop is home to Aloha Revolution which specializes in local shirt designs, stickers, and license plates. The logo is Aloha upside down because the owner wants everyone to remind themselves to show Aloha. If we want to spread aloha, it needs to start with us! My hubby's wardrobe is almost all Aloha Revolution. Their shirts are well made and their designs are simple yet creative. They're always coming out with new designs and collab shirts. Right now they are promoting their Van Gogh designs! Follow @VH07V for their latest designs! They are now starting to have pop up events featuring local businesses. Most recently, they put on Mochi Day featuring local mochi businesses! Follow @omiyagemarket for the latest updates!

Love this market!…read more Supporting small local biz who show the love of Hawai'i and the culture in their own way showcasing an impressive collection of items is what makes this market so special. Like many other markets who seems to be trying to find a place Ho'omau Hawai'i Market has been shopping around and I think I do love this current location at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Coral Ballroom which was tricky to find if you're not paying attention like me as the ballroom sits on the 6th floor of the parking building so it's super convenient along with parking is validated at $10 flat rate which the staff was just so friendly to explain it all is nice. Happening over the following Black Friday weekend (Nov 26th & 27th), many are familiar and a few that is new to me browsing around in the cool air conditioning ballroom made the shopping experience nice. Weather it's picking up cute Turkish Towels and glassware from Kris Hawaii, Mamaki tea from Kihene, or my cravings at 'Ulu Chips and Hummus and many offered such great deal along with entertainment is such a calming vibe that has me shopping much more than I expected and the uniqueness is what makes this market so special. Thank you!

We like Island Heritage products (lots of hawaiian souvenirs like photo albums, calendars, and…read morephoto frames) and have been purchasing them for years now. We just didn't know that the same company made these products- we noticed it on our last trip. When we were walking at the Beach Walk at night (which is so much prettier, all lighted and such), we came upon this store located on the lower level, on the same side as Honolua (featuring all their products; maybe you've seen the hula girl, that's their logo), which had an unusual sale promotion- "anything with brown on it", was 50% off. So, we were looking for Vintage hawaiiana prints, during our recent trip. My husband found a calendar marked $9.99, so this was a good deal. We plan on coming here next year on our annual trip.

They sell cheap trinkets to glassware made in china with over inflated prices. If you're looking…read morefor cheap Island Heritage stuff, go to their warehouse sale in November. I think they also have one in June or July also to help liquidate their items. I had a ceramic plaque hanging by my front door what said mahalo for removing your slippahs and the metal bracket attached to the plaque came right off. The plaque wasn't scored. It was just hot glued onto the glossy finish. It's a good thing it didn't completely shatter on the ground. You want cheap souvenirs, go the Aloha swap meet. You won't find prices any lower than that. And you can work on getting a nice tan at the same time.

First off, I love this store!…read more Living on the mainland, there are so many crafting supplies that are unique to Hawaiʻi, and every time I walk into Ben Franklin Crafts, I find myself wandering the aisles thinking, "Ooh... I don't have this back home" and in goes the item in my cart. What brought me in today tho, was to support one of the local small businesses that rents a "locker" inside the store. I absolutely love this concept. Ben Franklin has created a space where local makers can showcase and sell their work, giving shoppers the chance to support dozens of independent businesses all under one roof. Honestly, if money were no object, I'd probably leave with something from every locker. The variety is incredible, and it's fun seeing all the creativity from local artisans. Whether you're a serious crafter, looking for a unique gift, or just enjoy browsing, this place is sooo dangerous... in the best way possible. It's basically a crafter's candy store, and I look forward to getting lost here every time.

After seeing BFCrafts Instagram posts and Lei-go leis made from colorful flower beads, I wanted to…read moretry out this new item. I headed down to this BFCraft store and found the beads! A wide selection of colors, however, a few of the popular colors and flowers were out of stock. The beads are light weight, flexible, and the stems may be easily cut shorter. I was happily surprised that it did not feel rough or abrasive against material or the human skin. Great for simple DIY craft projects. My first project was to create a forever lei bag charm. The flower beads are reasonably priced and affordable for crafting projects. Service was okay lol. The cashier could have shown a little more interest. No smile or thank you for coming today. Maybe it was an off day for her. Other employees were nice and helpful in finding the beads. Overall a 4.5 star experience. Rounded up to 5 stars.

Many are displayed in the classic clear floral container so that you can easily see each item with prices clearly noted with a very clean and organized showroom floor I was quite impressed of the selection and remembered in the past looking for some floral for crafting now know this would've been the perfect place for that and more. Thank you!

Looking at some of the pieces, they are beautiful and would make great gifts for family that live on the mainland. In fact it would look great in anyone's home here not just on the mainland.

If your looking for that one of a kind gift, stop by dole plantation and visit Artopia, he might have just what you need.

BT21 fans this is the place…read more.. 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!
