My daughter and I had lunch nearby. She smelled more food and followed her nose. Next thing you…read moreknow, we were in front of this store. The food wasn't coming from here, but my daughter just had to see what was inside. So we came in to just look. Sugarcane is this cute shop where you can find all these locally made items for a gift, for the home, fir kids, for a friend, or for visitors. They have books, puzzles, toys jewelry, totes, bags, coasters and more. I love the wooden toys for the kids. I bought a wooden cell phone, a camera, stickers and a cute cooking set. 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. Overall, this is a great place to get gifts and maybe something for yourself. Beware of bringing your children. They will make you buy everything.

We visited Miniso when they had their grand opening not too long ago, it was bigger than expected!…read moreWe usually go to the Pealridge location to purchase their tissue/wet wipe packets. To our surprise, we found out that this Ala Moana location carries it too! We love how there are also graphic t-shirts being sold, the quality seems good. I'm glad to see that there were many different items being sold! We saw stuffed animals, blind boxes, bags, makeup, tissues, wet wipe packets, jewelry box holders, snacks, drinks, phone stands, perfumes/car refresheners, travel related items, and a lot more. Definitely worth visiting! Along the visit, you might be like us, where we ended up making a purchase lol! There are a lot of useful items they sell here. I can definitely see it being useful for gifts, too. Prices aren't bad for the quality you get. We have bought products here at Miniso, and they have held up well for the price. They also have promotions time to time. If you open a Miniso account at the cashier register (no fees needed) and sign up with your phone number, you can accumulate points, which can get you coupons in the future to use! The staffs were really friendly and environment was organized -- that's always a bonus!

I came here looking for anything Chiikawa but was sadly disappointed. I thought that with it being…read moreonly a week since the store had their grand opening, the items would largely be the same as when they opened. Unfortunately, the entire Chiikawa display in the front was replaced by Stitch items. I was shocked that there were absolutely no Chiikawa items in the store at all. I wonder if it was just because everything completely sold out? It seems like they rotate the front display out frequently. It already changed from Stitch to One Piece. Other than that, this is kind of just your normal Miniso. Personally, nothing else in the store really appeals to me as it is just your usual character goods. I was really looking forward to the Chiikawa because there aren't many places to get it here. Anyone else remember when Miniso used to sell more useful home goods and had different but cute plushies? Good times.

She's so sweet, organized, efficient, and has a great memory! Now, she has two stalls (both sides of the aisle) at The Marketplace at City Square. Look for her at the end of the building, right before the restrooms! She offered to let me try on some dresses, but I will pass because the prices are so good! One piece is $7 and two pieces total $10! She also has 3 for $10 deals on t-shirts, golf shirts, and children's clothing! Take a look! You might find a vintage Tommy Bahama shirt for $12 or a Cooke Street Aloha Shirt for $10! Parking is free, so come on over!

Aunty's Ukay Ukay is located in Marketplace at City Square and thanks to Nadine C she showed me that there's this place who had relocated from Chinatown and have found a new home here and you'd never know as it's primarily known to shop for groceries and other relatable items. You just need to walk all the way in the back by the restrooms (which I had no idea they had) and you can't miss her with racks of all types of clothings. A simple set up but the variety for both adults and kids from shirts to dresses I was quite impressed of the choices she has and the prices are just so hard to resist as what makes an outfit is how you present it and with values like this you'd be looking fabulous at a great price. Thank you!
