Nā Makana is the FANTABULOUS gift shop in the lobby of Queen's Medical Center. I would even…read moredeliberately dare you to not pick up a gift until you get to the hospital prior to visiting your loved one...you will be pleasantly surprised in the selection they provide and their fair pricing. The flower leis are fresh, not wilted, well-made, and are about $16 for a classic orchid lei. I did not see floral arrangements when I stopped by, but I was there in the afternoon/early evening. They carry A LOT of well-designed and well-made local products like Aloha Collection Tyvek bags, Paradise Now keychains, and luxurious bath items. They also have a nice collection of colored gel pens that write really smoothly (I'll be back when I use up my fave Muji pens!). Kudos to the buyer for this lovely boutique gift shop! You know I'll be back. Tip: Park in the Miller parking lot off the main hospital entrance off of Punchbowl. Parking is typically $3. (Free with validation if you're there for a procedure/surgery. If you spend a couple hours visiting a loved one, it will likely run you $5).

It's a really cute store. Lots of great stuff…read more However, I really dislike that they sell shells and coral. I don't understand why on earth they would sell those things? It's not sustainable and ocean friendly. You're a store in Hawaii where you need to be ocean and eco friendly which I don't think that is. Please reconsider selling these things because I find it hard to shop in the store and supporting this.

" I came the other day to return a Christmas present my daughter received! The sales clerk would not give my a merchandise credit even it was clearly a SOHA Living item marked $35.80 with NO red line! She said since I did not have a gift receipt or know my daughters girlfriends name so they could look it up, there was Nothing she could do!!! Really? I asked for the supervisor/manager! That's when Rita came to the counter, again asking me all those same questions that I didn't know! Why should it matter?? I have your merchandise, not marked down!! Plus, I showed her a 1/2 page advertisement that was in the newspaper stating "After Christmas SALE up to 70% off". I had come in on 12/26 and there were only signs of 50% off! When I asked, what was 70% off, the girl at counter said it was online! But she couldn't find anything online that was 70% off! So very misleading! FALSE ADVERTISING!! So when Rita said she had to call her manager, I told her to ask about the ad! Well, Rita returns and finally gives me a gift card for $35.80. No tax? I'm sure all my credits have included the tax!! Also, she didn't talk to anyone and just decided to do " the right thing" But claimed she did not give me a hard time! I really like this store and appreciate 2 sisters who went to Punahou started this business and SoHa Keiki but will have to think twice on patronizing them because of the bad customer service! Please note that I gave this business a 5 Star Review on 4/18/2018! Wow, how much has changed in those 6 years! So sad!!

The magnesium spray and jet lag bath caught my eye since I'm a sucker for health and beauty products. The associate that was there was very informative and helpful. They do have a lot of quality souvenirs and gifts to bring back to your friends and family on the mainland or simply as gifts for the holidays. Support local, it's pricey, but you can tell each product has great quality from clothing to coffee. Not pictured, but they also have an exclusive Hawaiian airlines travel essential pouch. I got my eyes on that.

Shopping in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I saw an intriguing program on television last night. Note: I hardly watch TV, so this program was quite special! The purpose of the Mana Up Showcase 2025 was to give ten local entrepreneurs and four local musicians/singers a chance to introduce themselves and their small business. I truly enjoyed learning about how these businesses started; how they chose their names; how these entrepreneurs get their ideas; etc. The audience got to vote online for their favorite in each category. Entrepreneurs: 1. Arlie Glass 2. Oribe Tea Company 3. Maoi Swim 4. Aloha Spice Company 5. Keani Hawai'i 6. Paper Crane Soaps 7. Sugar Caddy 8. The Keiki Dept 9. Kauai Gourmet Nuts 10. Daguzan Charcuterie Musicians/Singers: 1. Wehilei 2. Keahi Delovio 3. Sidney Spencer 4. Anthony Pfluke I'm not an online shopper. I wanted to go to the store, House of Mana Up, to see/touch/feel/smell the products in person. Located at South Shore Market, the House of Mana Up was clean, well-organized, bright, and pleasantly air-conditioned. The merchandise was from more than the ten featured Entrepreneurs on the television program. I recognized Ulu Mana and the Hawaiian Chip Company. I didn't know about the other companies and products. Service was very helpful and friendly! The manager knew exactly what I was looking for and told me that the featured companies will be stocking the South Shore Market store soon. These products are sourced locally and can be ordered online. I just wanted gifts to send to the mainland. It's a convenient one-stop shop for gift giving! I appreciate the free, covered parking! I will be back!

I visit their store anytime I need to stock up on Hawai'i themed note cards. Their designs work great for Thank Yous, Birthdays, and any Holiday occasion. The island feel is depicted in such a simple classic way that the people receiving these cards will feel the warmth and aloha you're sending them. They also do personalized prints in house as well, so if you want to customize and support a local business - this is the place!!

The designs are really nice, the quality is good, and the prices are reasonable. However, the store looked like it had been neglected for a number of years. It was very messy. It seemed as if they had given up. It used to be a really cute, little store. However, it's extremely uninviting and doesn't make you want to spend time there. I might just order online going forward.

This cute shop which you would easily miss is in "The Arcade" building and as I approached and glance at some of the items displayed in the window it was unusually different as the art was our local flowers with many items from shirts, candles and stickers to household items. The gentleman in the shop says that it's his friend that designs it all and many of the merchandise are made in Japan and shipped here with exceptions of a few products that are made here in Hawaii I just love how each items are crafted and couldn't resist to support the art and picked up a couple of post cards which was just a buck a card at $5 and a bucket hat that had a cute plumeria embroidered on it :) He couldn't be more happy that I enjoyed it all and put my purchases in a lovely reusable tote and even gave me a free gift that was very generous of him to do so shows the love and kindness of what art and the appreciation to express it was just so meaningful. Thank you!
