37 vendors at Pearlridge Center (downtown) in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Located above Longs Drugs and in the Hallmark wing, the Kawaii Friends Fair is a great indoor craft fair with carpeting, free shared parking, convenient restroom, no admission fee, and good air-conditioning! There was a map on their Instagram page - that showed which vendor would be there both days, and which ones would be there just Saturday (7.25.26) or just Sunday (7.26.26). They're so organized! If you spend $10 or more at a vendor's booth, you can get a stamp on the Loyalty Card. Five stamps from different vendors gets you an entry into the drawing for great prizes! Local small businesses were selling handmade greeting cards, keyring, crocheted plushies, clothing, tote bags, jewelry, and more! I'm looking forward to their next event!

Shopping in Pearlridge Center, Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Strolling around the Kawaii Friends Fair on the upper level of the mall, along the Dunkin Donuts and Planet Fitness wing (Downtown Pearlridge), we came across: kj's kreations There were so many bins of cute things! I thought that I should get some for party favors for a lunch next week with my female cousins. There were Hello Kitty keyrings, Stitch notebooks, hand sanitizer holders ($8), Labubu topped pens ($2), and more! I liked the items that were priced 4 for $10. What a deal! Service was very friendly and helpful. The sweet gal was just laughing along as I added more items to my bill. She offered me another stamp card - one stamp per vendor per $10 spent - for the Kawaii Friends Fair. I'll be back!

What are you celebrating…read more.. Chances are they have the perfect card for you for all occasions and holidays to give for all ages and what I do love about it is it's unique. These days a typical card is quite pricey so rather than getting a card I've been going quite off the usual yet still nothing beads a handwritten card and thanks to Decowoods you can find that here. It's not just cards but gift cards and gift sets as well and as school starts there were gifts for teachers which makes it easy as many are shopping it's all put together for you. The lady working it is so friendly and helpful to find what we would need and at such great prices for something hand made is special and why I keep browsing over her selections. Thank you!

Shopping in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. While at the Kawaii Friends Fair at Pearlridge Center on 7.26.26, Irene pointed out DECOWOODS, a vendor that specialized in homemade greeting cards. This vendor's products are very neat, kawaii, and affordable. I got to mix and match 4 handmade cards for $5. I selected 8 cute cards to make it an even $10 so that I could get a stamp on the Loyalty Card! The nice lady running the booth was very pleasant and friendly! I look forward to seeing her again in a few months. I'll check her Instagram for her next location and dates.

Shopping in Pearlridge Center, Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Tagging along with Irene, at the Kawaii Friends Fair (upper level of the mall in the Hallmark/Dunkin Donuts wing, formerly known as "downtown")... she pointed out: Sharon Fleur Creations. Specifically, she called to my attention... a Miffy pen topper. I understood what she meant. It was the last Miffy... and it was my chance to create a pen of my choice. I went with the lavender and fuscia themed Miffy and placed a fuzzy ball with a sparkly ball under her... so cute and reasonably priced! Sharon, the vendor, was very helpful and patient! Thank you! Thanks, Irene, for encouraging my crafty side. I'll go back one day and maybe get a cute plushie bag charm or create a keyring!

Shopping in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. While strolling around Kaka'ako Farmer's Market, I came across Angels_of_Aloha. I had purchased something from this vendor a few years ago and was happy to see him again! I got some angel earrings for my friends and some angel necklaces on adjustable cords for other friends. Some angels are made with glass and some are semi-precious stones. The cords (white and black) are changeable. Note: bulk discount rate is available... just ask! Look for this vendor on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays of the month between 8am and noon! Have a blessed day!

What a fun way to build community!…read more Aloha Trinket Box has two locations: one is in Kaimuki on Waialae Avenue, in front of Keep It Simple store... and this one is in Kaka'ako, in front of Fishcake. The exterior paint makes it look like a box of Hawaiian sweet rolls... cool! Inside, the shelving and hooks contained stickers, tiny figurines, bracelets, etc. It was a unique bartering experience, based on the honor system! We took a pineapple-shaped sticker and left a kokeshi doll keychain! Go and see if it's still there!

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).
