    Hands down the best trinket shop in Oahu... we saw the same things they sold for $5 for $20 from vendors in Waikiki. Not going to lie, it looks like a tiki god barfed up wood carvings, seashells, and coconut goodies here. There's things on all the walls, hanging on the ceiling, and every little nook was jam packed with things. All the keychains, all the old school post cards, freaking native weapon replicas galore. Easily did all the shopping here for souvenirs to take back home... There's also these cool photos with some of the lost cast and Aquamamoa, too. 11/10 - would come again when the haole fam needs vacation validations.

    Cute little spot in Da North Shore, great merchandise but overpriced. Employer did not open door until a couple minutes after hours marked outside the business as she ran late. She also has her dog running around in the business. As I bought gifts she gave me a coupon to get a discount as I looked at the shark teeth but later not validate certain items as it only pertained to expensive items "not mentioned" on the coupon or verbally. Will save my money as the last day of my trip found better deals in Farmer Markets and other places in Honolulu.

    Loads of treasures to look at and buy in this little local shop of goodies! Exceptional service and a warm Hawaiian welcome from a lovely lady that assisted us buying all our goods! North Shore shops rock! Spent a hefty wad of cash here and well worth it! Mostly jewelry gifts for me and friends back home. Hawaiian ornaments, jewelry, hair clips, rings, earrings, aahhh! so much goodness in this store most items are handmade by local artists. This by far is the best gift and souvenir shop I have been to on Oahu. We were in this store at least an hour there's so much to ogle and browse. Just when we thought we saw everything my Auntie would say, OMG! Tiff! Look! Haha, it takes a pretty big deal to get us as excited as we were in this gift shop. I bought handmade blown glass necklaces, two Hawaiian Christmas ornaments, Koa wood ring, Koa wood hair stick, Koa wood post cards for display. If you visit North Shore, please stop in and say hello to these awesome folks and browse the local arts and crafts! Spend time at the jewelry counters there's so much to see!

    Great white shark tooth jade stone

    Quality items for a reasonable price! Best place in the north shore to buy any souvenir which I bought many. Anywhere else is much to expensive for the same item. Thank you Polynesian Treasure for these souvenirs. And memories.

    I love the service here and the starfish earrings. I come in every so often and buy them out of what they've got in stock. I always get the nicest compliments about these earrings. Reasonably priced!

    Nice little shop on the North Shore

    This shop is located in the first set of shops on the North Shore (coming from Honolulu). Just past the railroad tracks on the right. There is plenty of parking, though sometimes difficult to find a spot on weekends. Lots of things (trinkets) from soaps, postcards, simple jewelry, T-shirts, etc. It is rather small with a wrap-around style and the cash register is in the middle on the right side of the center section. You MUST go here if you're a tourist. Locals? Why not? You're on the North Shore, so go in and have fun... you may find something you just can't live without. Cheers!

    This was a lovely little shop with a good variety of locally made art, gifts, and jewelry. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful in letting me know about the different artists and it was very easy to find meaningful and authentic souvenirs of our vacation here. Other reviewers have said it is expensive, and there are a lot of high priced things, but there are certainly plenty of quality choices under $25 as well, without having to get mass produced imports.

    Bamboo cuff bracelets for $45, cute wooden earrings for about $10, colored lava bracelets, and some bracelets with local shells!
    Ren L.

    VERY edifying and helpful staff. I bought some handmade local jewelry. It's one of a kind; each piece is unique. Was very impressed with the staff's knowledge of artists they buy from, as well as their willingness in helping me find the perfect jewelry for my complexion and build.

    One of my treasures from Polynesian Treasures!

    "The Inspiration"…read more Curating their inventory to fit the local need. Family owned and operated. Cozy and welcoming, it's a place with unique offerings. They lock into the local community to make the whole town feel complete. It's a special, one-of-a-kind place. These are the mom 'n pop stores I grew up with on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Some are still around. Mom 'n pop stores, the inspiration behind Kalepa's Store at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. Ko Olina-O'ahu. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "My Storytelling" It's the weekend and my parents are taking my siblings and I to a kiosk in Kaiko'o Mall. To enjoy Icee from Kaiko'o Seeds N'things, as we choose bags of cracked seed from this mom 'n pop store. Household appliances weren't purchased from corporate retailers like today. My family and most of East Hawai'i years+ ago were loyal to mom 'n pop stores like Modern Appliance. Next door, Kay's Lunch Center had the most delicious Korean fried chicken made by "mom", and slices of homemade cream pies by "pop". ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Kai Store since 1948, Chika Nakano since 1975, Optical Dispensers, Hilo Siam Thai Restaurant (see my Yelp review), and Leung's Chop Suey House since 1975. Doris Place since 1948 on the west side and Hirano Store since 1969 in Mountain View. These are some of the mom 'n pop stores currently still in-business on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Since my childhood. And of course, the Hasegawa General Store since 1910, still serving the local community in Hana-Maui. Featured in the Disney animated film, Lilo & Stitch. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Disney Storytelling" A story is shared with intricate details. Culturally significant, extremely immersive. The Disney way - through storytelling. The culture of the Hawaiian people is displayed in the most creative way by Disney Imagineers. Unlike any resort in Hawai'i. Unique architecture and design, awe-inspiring artwork and murals throughout. Multi-sensory excellence at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. Home to Kalepa's Store. The only place to purchase official Disney merchandise and exclusive Aulani items in Hawai'i. (Visit my Yelp review of Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa.) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Elevated Perspective" Joyful suspension, relaxed excitement. A rental car made the drive possible from Waikīkī on my first visit. Fourteen months later, a last minute window of opportunity became available for another visit to Kalepa's Store. I've learned to look upwards for hidden high level details and architectural Disney magic. As I entered Kalepa's Store, I found the most meaningful key designing element. Framed photos of actual mom 'n pop stores in Hawai'i. Some are now closed, others are currently still in business. It brought personality, warmth, meaning and an authentic deep connection to the rich history of my home-state. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Retail exclusivity is why I'm here. Unique Aulani logo items, clothing and accessories that cannot be found inside the Disney theme parks and online. Bags of Disney Parks Main Street Popcorn like those found at Disneyland are found along with my favorite, Gummi Disney Character Bites. Guest service excellence at Kalepa's Store. Individual attention, personalized conversations, strong engagement from the cast members. We laughed and reminisced about our past trips to Disneyland, Disney vloggers we watch. Photo ops were taken, care was extended. I felt valued. That the drive from Waikīkī was worth every minute, that my choice to be here as a local Hawai'i resident was appreciated. I'm departing Kalepa's Store, Aulani logo shopping bags in both hands with orange tissue paper puffs. All smiles, I'm content. Parking validation is extended since my purchase reached a certain dollar amount. It's now time to enjoy the resort property for just a while longer... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Future Inspired" Mom 'n pop stores. Independent, family-owned, a unique role in the local community. But they struggle to compete with larger corporations, big box retailers and e-commerce platforms who have buying power. My visit to Kalepa's Store at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa opened my eyes. It made me realize my unique role in my local community, how important my choices are. Where I shop, where I dine, where I choose to take my business as a consumer. It matters to help keep money circulating nearby for the vitality of mom 'n pop stores and small businesses in my community, on my home-island. In Hawai'i. Even though I'm employed by a corporation, I've recently decided on making small, gradual changes in some of my habitual spending. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Be Inspired" I implore you to do the same while you visit, shop, casually meander and enjoy the most unique resort property in Hawai'i. Like I did. Stay for hours, return for a second time, or become an overnight guest. Immerse yourself in the details. Embrace the magic of Disney and the rich history of Hawai'i at Kalepa's Store. Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. Become inspired.

I've bought a few over the years. I didn't see anything that I liked this time around. They did have those popular Disney x Aloha print bags near the entrance. People were buying everything in the store. They were standing in line holding clothes, mugs, toys, headbands with the ears and snacks. I really liked the Disney ears, but they were $40 something each or $30 each when you buy 3. I decided not to get them, even though they were so cute.

I was hoping they'd have Snoopy too but none at the moment at least. I was so happy that my husband mentioned this place and we ended up here during our last morning in Honolulu. Definitely worth a stop if you're into kawaii, Japanese goodies and stationery, but also could be worth being aware of which characters are currently featured. A lot of the items, such as their various stickers, are reasonably and fairly priced -- more so than other similar shops. Vivid print quality too. Other items were tad too pricey for me to justify (e.g. $8 for a very tiny thin canvas drawstring bag and other small pouches in the $30+ range).
