    things... In the midst of Moili'ili is Mono a shop filled with some unique high quality Japanese goods that seems to be fitting more for travelers or that home away sense of to be with your own thoughts type of concept. The gentleman there seem to exhume the same type of eclectic vibe as he greets you upon entering this tiny shop I loved how it's all neatly displayed the various bento boxes, drink ware even super cute origami coffee brewer, on the go they have totes and bags to fill with notebooks, journal and even some books. Definitely impressed with the uniqueness found here and it is quite pricey but the value in exchange are quality you're sure to enjoy. Come visit them next in the heart of Moili'ili in the classic James M Chrones or what I've grown up calling it McCullyChop Suey Building on the corner of Moili'ili and South King Street. Thank you!

    On the left is glue tape, which is a glue product. On the right is the Pentel Graphgear 600, which is a quality mechanical pencil.

    This is the best stationary I've laid eyes on in Hawaii. The accessories and decors are my style, and the customer service is good. I really recommend this place because of the value put into the shop to make it organized.

    I believe that "mono" is the Japanese word for "things." And this place has some of the nicest things and coolest designs. It's like a boutique that you'd find in Tokyo or Seoul. Returned to my old stomping grounds in McCully and decided to pay a visit to Mono. So glad I did. It's an inspiring space filled with office "eye candy," pens, stationary, leather goods, and all kinds of cool things that I never knew existed, let alone wanted & needed. Picked up a pack of Field Notes (Hawai'i edition) and an OHTO pen. Super friendly service. Even the customers here were friendly. A hidden gem and still somewhat of a secret. Highly recommend that you go check it out.

    I only found this shop online while looking for a Midori planner, to my surprise, it's here in Honolulu. I am excited to visit sometime.. If you're looking for Japanese stationery, if you like traveler's notebook, maruman, stalogy. you may want to check them in person or online.

    I'm absolutely in love with visual social media networks like Instagram & Pinterest! I could easily spend hours scrolling through photos of food, travel destinations & street art, but my favorite thing is these networks is photo styling. There's an art toward with creating a photo that inspires an emotion: recreating a recipe, motivating me to save money for a trip or purchasing a product. I believe that's why I'm infatuated with the small designs good store MONO Hawaii. This gift boutique (run by husband & wife: Dean & Cassy Song) is my new favorite Instagram account to follow, they've mastered the art of product styling & do a phenomenal job of showcasing the assortment of office supply & home furnishing merchandise they sell. If you've been looking for the perfect gift to give someone (or yourself), please stop by MONO Hawaii. If you see a featured item you love on their Instagram account, I suggest dropping by the store ASAP, because they only carry a limited quantity of exclusive items from Japan & LA.

    Literally my favorite store in all of oahu! I was caught by surprise on how cute this store was. The owner was also very friendly and was so helpful. I wish we had a stationary store like this by D.C. but i'll definitely be coming back when i'm on the island again!

The whole store is made up of Hawaiian themed merchandise. There were jewelry, cards, body care items and tons of clothes. They have some really cute items. My friend purchased a set of plastic flower beads to string together to make a necklace. What caught my eye that I really wanted was the sunrise shell necklace. I've always wanted one. The shell has the pink and yellow colors on it to mimic the sunrise. I'm contemplating on getting it as I've wanted one for a while.

I went in and out of the dressing rooms a few times while trying on outfits, and none of them had a basket or spot for purses. Each time I had to hang my handbag on a hanger with the clothes, since I refuse to put my handbag on the dirty ground. Finally, the very last dressing room I tried did have a basket at the bottom, which was much better. The clothing and jewelry are adorable -- some even look handmade -- and I did buy a few outfits and a cute pair of earrings. Prices are on the higher side, but the pieces are unique and eye-catching, so if you're looking for something different, it might be worth it. Unfortunately, checkout brought the experience down. Since I didn't need a bag, the sales associate handed me my clothes directly, but forgot my earrings. I didn't notice until I was halfway home. I tried looking everywhere for a phone number -- Yelp, the Ala Moana directory, the internet -- and couldn't find one. The only number I found just rang with no answer. So instead of calling, I had no choice but to drive all the way back through traffic. When I arrived, the sales associate saw me, handed me the earring, and said she was "going to text me." No apology, no "sorry for the inconvenience" -- nothing. Considering they have my number from the rewards program sign-up, that was disappointing. Overall, Sugar Sugar is a cute boutique with stylish pieces, but expect boutique pricing and limited dressing room amenities. The service could use improvement, especially when mistakes happen.

You don't just shop here. You feel welcomed and inspired. I spent nearly two hours in the store just days before Christmas, and narrowing down my choices was nearly impossible.

They are my kiddos favorite toys. I've gotten key chains and jewelry for gifts. We have coasters for our home too. The workers are pretty friendly and they also wrapped my gift item too. The items seem pricey, but they are locally made and are unique. I don't think you'll find any ship with the same kind of item that Sugarcane carries.
