 Unique gifts and collectibles |
1450 Ala Moana Boulevard (Ala Moana Center, Garage Level) Honolulu, HI 96814 United States +1 808 941 6161 |
The selection of souvenir and gift items in this store is impressive, to say the least. The owners take pride in finding merchandise that can't be found in other stores. In a city like Honolulu - especially in a mall like the Ala Moana Shopping Center - that's quite a challenge. However, they succeed fairly well. Some very lifelike replicas of 20th-century guns are displayed behind the counter. Dyed leather wallets are functional and unusual. Hawaiian checkers will intrigue game players. In addition to these items, all of the standard souvenirs are also for sale. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Beach and workout wear |
1200 Ala Moana Boulevard Honolulu, HI 96814 United States +1 808 262 0803 |
Sportswear and beachwear for women of all ages is sold at this store. It offers something for just about everyone. Sexy little nothings are displayed next to hardcore sports bras and no-nonsense flowered one-piece bathing suits. There's also a nice selection of flattering lingerie: chemises, two-piece sets, camisoles and so forth. There are two other store locations on O'ahu, one in the Hilton Hawaiian Village Shops and one in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Herbal medicines and supplements |
1050 Ala Moana Boulevard Honolulu, HI 96814 United States +1 808 591 8803 |
Don't plan on doing any real food shopping here. This store mainly carries supplements, vitamins, herbal medicines and other bottled items. Essential oils are in the front, along with sesame, grape seed and other oils intended for topical use only. Of course, you can find large supplies of melatonin and herbal uppers in the middle of the store. While some packaged foods are available, this place seems like more of an herbal apothecary than anything else. It's small, quiet and healthy smelling. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Third-generation Japanese-American designer Anne Namba creates distinctive contemporary fashions incorporating kimono silks and Asian-inspired motifs. Her clients include first lady Hillary Clinton, soul singer Aretha Franklin, socialite Ann Getty and movie star Pat Morita. This is haute fashion, with prices to match: a simple jacket can cost several hundred dollars. Namba's designs are featured in stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf-Goodman, and Nordstrom, but this Manoa Valley boutique is the source. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Ethnic jewelry and gifts bazaar |

This tiny boutique is crammed with ethnic jewelry and exotica from ports around the world. Indonesian filigree silver, Russian amber, and beadwork from many cultures sit cheek-by-jowl with African tribal masks, sari silks, colorful contemporary Indonesian carvings and mother-of-pearl mosaic home accents from the Middle East. Incense wafts through the air, and flute music plays softly in the background. The shop's floor is an interesting, undulating modern mosaic. This shop is a complete aesthetic experience, offering delights for at least four of the five senses. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This is an accessory store by definition, but it specializes in high-quality leather goods.

You can actually outfit an entire family, from infants on up to grandfathers, at this popular island clothing retailer. Somehow, in spite of the store's bent toward blues and purples, men can wear the styles without looking too silly. They're great for women, of course: flowing, graceful, vivid and picturesque. Pastel solids and simple prints are used to create the clothing line. Accessories are also sold. There is a second Blue Ginger at 227 Lewers Street in Waikiki, as well as a few stores on Maui.

Sophisticated women's clothing |
1450 Ala Moana Boulevard Honolulu, HI 96814 United States +1 808 951 6999 |
This shop is the most recent incarnation of the establishment Thomas Burberry opened in 1856 in Hampshire, England. The original store began with a high commitment to innovative fabric and outerwear design, and that continues to be true of the chain today. This location, in Honolulu's fashionable Ala Moana Shopping Center, is typical of all Burberry shops, but you'll find the winter clothing line a little sparse, for obvious reasons. The company motto is Porsum, which translates from the Latin as "forward" and reflects the momentum of this Ala Moana store. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sleek and sophisticated, this spacious designer showroom looks like a museum of fashion. It spans two floors at the front of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. Inside, everything is artistically arranged in glass cases, with televisions embedded in the walls showing footage from the runways.

Handpainted clothes and unique gifts |

The handiwork of many artists is displayed at this store. Much of it is wearable art: handpainted dresses, T-shirts inlaid with Austrian crystal, and so forth. The biggest sellers are almost not even noticeable at first glance. They're called Photo Friends- picture frames in the shape of stick people and pets. They are painted purple, yellow or pink, and are indeed very charming and friendly. Other items on offer include puppets, bookmarks and stuffed animals. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Calling James Bond |
1200 Ala Moana Boulevard Honolulu, HI 96814 United States +1 808 593 2224 |
The opposite of neighboring boutique Handblock in almost every way, this modern, clean-edged store is a great place to shop for masculine gifts. It caters to men who live 'the good life', offering a wide array of pleasure items including humidors, cigar cutters, top-shelf Scotch, designer cologne and so forth. The clientele and decor are both urbane and sophisticated. There isn't an excess of merchandise; it's as though the buyer knew what he liked and didn't bother with anything else. Other than the attractive blond sales girls, there are almost no women in the store at any time. It's got a very "boys club" feel about it. It seems to be imbued with the spirit of the ultimate playboy of them all, 007. Review © 2007, Wcities |

For a state known more for its ukuleles, a drum store that's been in business 15 years and counting would have to have really tolerant neighbors. The truth of the matter is, Drummers Warehouse is a comprehensive one of a kind drum, drum accessories and percussion store in Honolulu. The sales staff is knowledgeable, some of them musicians in local bands and the selection is vast. Stocking everything from acoustic kits to electric ones, cymbals and even percussion instruments like bongos, congas and djembes, it's every musician's paradise. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Who hasn't heard of Armani? One of the most famous clothing designers in the world, he's known for blending classic styles with new and creative ideas. Emporio Armani features a wide selection of understated, high-quality clothing for both men and women. Prices here are far more affordable than they would be in a couture boutique, but are still not low enough to suit a real bargain shopper. The Armani Exchange, also located in Ala Moana Shopping Center, is a better place to search for Armani clothing at low prices. Review © 2007, Wcities |

While certain countries might not realize it, their flag is flying in America all the time. True, it might only be the size of a postcard, but it's represented in this store in Honolulu's Ward Center. Hundreds of different flags are available, in at least one of several styles. There are postcards, stickers, little mini-flags that can hang from just about anywhere and full-size ones that look like they belong on the roof of a foreign embassy. This store probably goes in and out of popularity. Sometimes people want to show spirit and solidarity; sometimes they don't. However, thanks to its ideal location in one of Honolulu's greatest shopping areas, it gets ample walk-in traffic at all times of the year. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This little factory makes authentic Italian Gelato with a tropical twist. (To anyone who doesn't know, gelato is the upper-class cousin of ice cream). The flavors are inventive, often featuring local Hawaiian fruits and vegetables. Depending on how creative you are, you can munch on Campari, Coconut or Irish Cream Gelato. Although this gelato is sold at various points throughout the island, the least expensive way to get it is direct from the factory. Order it by the pint or the gallon. Review © 2007, Wcities |

There are very few gifts that make the kind of statement fine jewelry is capable of making, and very few jewelers that can customize pieces as artistically and appropriately as those here can. This fine shop, established more than 50 years ago in Honolulu, is committed to high-quality craftsmanship and excellent individualized service. All items are created on-site and tailored to the requests of the customer. Clients are encouraged to bring in photographs or ideas for designs. Pre-made pieces are also available.

The Gucci boutique in Ala Moana Shopping Center is imbued with the elegance and style that have made the label famous. The store layout is designed to emphasize the newest and most cutting-edge designs. A selection of ready-to-wear merchandise is available, along with leather products, jewelry and gifts. Everything in the shop is Italian-designed and crafted. As you might expect, the atmosphere here is distinctly upper-crust. Prices are high.

Royalty, business tycoons and movie stars all come here to splurge on jewelry and timepieces. The late Harry Winston, a native New Yorker, is still known as "The King of Diamonds", and the business empire he founded has an international reputation. High profile celebrities are known to "borrow" designs when they attend the Oscars each year, and even the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Louvre have displayed Winston's exclusively crafted works. The stores, or "salons" as they are called, maintain a high profile, and this one in Honolulu is no exception. You can expect impeccable service, and to be set back by several thousand dollars if you decide to secure one of the exquisite pieces on offer. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Thirty flavors, many of them made with local produce, are available. Try Macadamia Nut Brickle, Pohaberry or Mango-n-Cream. The pastries are luscious and surprisingly inexpensive. You'll find enormous banana tarts, blueberry cheesecake slices, and lilikoi mousse. Coconut mochi and poi bread are two uniquely local delicacies. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Walking in here will take you back to Honolulu's earlier days. This shop has faithfully duplicated a store of the 1890s, complete with workbench, foot-pedaled equipment and hand tools. The history of jewelry design and production in the islands is displayed colorfully on the walls in enamel print. Gold, silver, precious and semi-precious jeweled items are on display, and most are for sale. The prices here are geared toward the tourist, but occasionally you can find a good bargain.

Quilting was introduced to the women of Hawai'i in 1820 by the first missionaries, and has since become a tradition and an art form. The Hawaiians quickly developed their own style, and it is one that reflects the culture of the islands. This shop makes these uniquely Hawaiian works of art available to the public. The company has two other locations in Honolulu: one inside the Hyatt Regency, and one inside the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. Review © 2007, Wcities |

While minor fans of chocolate will probably indulge a bit at this store, chocoholics may go overboard. Rich truffles, sinful island-inspired creations and a cornucopia of seasonal delights tempt the palate and the pocketbook. It doesn't hurt (or help, depending how you look at it) that the proprietors give out samples. In addition to having outrageous chocolate, this shop has the best décor of any chocolate shop on the island. The entire store is decorated in accordance to the season, with serious attention paid to detail. Review © 2007, Wcities |

You absolutely must see this store; it is like no other. The first thing you'll notice is a display of lively, battery-operated stuffed animals. A large, fuzzy purple puppet dances near the entrance way. The interior looks like the Rainforest Cafe - the only difference is that here, the decorations are close enough to touch. In the back is a busy arcade (credit cards not accepted). The atmosphere is family oriented; parents play along with the children, most of whom are very young.

In addition to the classic button-down, short-sleeve shirt, the store sells dresses, long-sleeved shirts and other styles.

Local boys check out vintage Aloha tees right next to businessmen from down the street. Meanwhile, visitors from other parts of the world try to figure out which styles will look more local and less touristy. The interior of this place hits the right balance of campy and authentic.

The clothing in this store varies from traditional Oriental to modern chic. It's all very feminine and flattering, and looks like it should carry a heavier price tag than it does. While there's no vouching for the quality, the look is a steal at the price. If you like the accessories on display, head over to Lotus Bleu Accessories, located a few doors down. There, you'll find a whole room full of dressy handbags, beaded chokers, silver jewelry and so forth. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Among the finest accessories ever made |
1450 Ala Moana Boulevard (Ala Moana Center, 2nd Level) Honolulu, HI 96814 United States +1 808 942 4810 |
Collector's items, pens and watches are sold here. The most notable item is a fountain pen that costs $12,000. No, it's not a misprint. The pen featuring two rows of cut diamonds on the cap, is one of five in the world, and carries a five-figure price tag. However, most of the items can fit into a lower budget. Although Mont Blanc is a Swiss brand, the timepieces are made in Germany. Sunglasses, tie clips and other functional, elegant accessories are also for sale. With its minimalist window display and gracious, knowledgeable staff, the store seems more like a fine art gallery. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Lovely Hawaiian quilts in a variety of colors, patterns and styles are sold here. The other home accents and craft items on the shelves include wood carvings, teddy bears dressed in muumuus, and charming little Maile Angel Dolls. Although not everything in the store is made in Hawai'i, the merchandise doesn't have the same mass-produced appearance as much of the souvenirs found in Waikiki shops. This place seems like a bit of a secret, available only to tourists who venture off the beaten path. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Upscale batik apparel |

While some of the clothing here looks like it could come from Africa, it's actually 'Polynesian tapa prints on hand batik', to quote the proprietress. The abstract patterns are usually in pastel or neutral tones. The resulting fashions are elegant ethnic, perfect to wear at a resort or on a safari. The store itself is serene and pleasant. Exposed beams, light wood floors and ceiling fans make for a cool, natural ambience. New Age music plays in the background. Review © 2007, Wcities |

By all accounts, this is a great place to shop for a bachelor pad that needs aesthetic improvement. Interestingly, it's also very popular with women of all ages. While the fierce tribal masks, exotic soapstone carvings and lush tapestries won't blend into the background in every home, they definitely add a certain something. The store is cool and comfortable. It carries a fabulous selection of art, crafts and clothing, but its specialties are the soapstone carvings and African mahogany. Review © 2007, Wcities |

If you miss the days of the Old West, visit this one-of-a-kind store in the Ala Moana Center. You'll realize that they're not over yet. In Hawai'i, the paniolo style continues to thrive, and the Trading Company's continued popularity proves it. A variety of art, accessories and paniolo-wear is displayed on the walls. Visitors from all parts of the world love the shiny silver belt buckles and feathery dream catchers. University of Hawaii students go wild for the redneck Wranglers and fringed buckskin. Exhibitionists of all ages giggle and strut in chaps and cowboy hats. As for the few real cowboys that come in; well, they're just happy to get a pair of functional boots. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cards and stationery for every occasion |
1200 Ala Moana Boulevard Honolulu, HI 96814 United States +1 808 596 7955 |
Dainty and intimate, this upscale store offers the kinds of little extras that are used to wrap presents for special occasions. Expensive wrapping paper, artistic gift bags and hundreds of gift cards for every occasion are for sale. There are also some items that are gifts themselves: journals, birthday books, calendars and the like. This is a good place to look for wedding or graduation invitations. The ones in stock - not to mention the ones that can be special ordered - are far superior to anything you'd find in a drugstore or even a regular stationer. Customers here tend to be female, but aside from that they don't all into any single demographic. Everyone enjoys looking at the merchandise. Little girls make a beeline for the scented paper and cute calendars. Teenagers frown thoughtfully over invitations, dreaming of graduation and greener pastures. Adults shop for stationery, thank-you notes and other small miscellaneous items. This is the sister store to Handblock, also located in the Ward Center. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Female surfers, bodyboarders and windsurfers should check this place out immediately-if not sooner. When it opened its doors in 1996, it was the one and only surf shop to cater only to women. Others have followed, but this place is still special. Selling gear, clothes and accessories for women of all ages (from toddler on up), this place is a must-visit for women who are tired of the male-dominated atmosphere of most island sportswear shops.

Not what you think |
1050 Ala Moana Boulevard Honolulu, HI 96814 United States +1 808 593 8229 |
Don't get the wrong idea! The main attraction at this store is shoes, more specifically, flip-flops. Everyone from babies to grannies can shop here comfortably - and they do. The selection is fabulous, and there are other accessories for sale as well. However, the name does seem to be a deliberate play on words. No one in Hawai'i uses the word 'thong' to describe footgear. They say 'slippers', and they laugh at mainlanders who say anything else. So you thought this store sold Brazilian-style swimwear for hardbodies - well, you weren't the only one. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Town and Country Surf Designs is another large local surf company in Hawaii, named for the south shore (town) and the north shore (country) of Oahu. With locations all over the state, the Ward Warehouse store is a local favorite. It's within a couple miles of Waikiki and located just blocks from the large, and often crowded Ala Moana Mall, but part of the much smaller Ward Warehouse shopping center. The shop itself has a big selection of surf gear and apparel, including nearly 100 surfboards in stock on a daily basis. Vintage surfboards also hang from the ceiling to make for an interesting décor. If you like the idea of getting something for yourself or perhaps gifts that are unique to Hawaii, without being over-crowded or over-priced, this just might be your best bet. -Rex Davidson Review © 2007, Wcities |

It doesn't go cheap (bottles range from $47-$75), but if you're looking for an original gift for a wine connoisseur, this is the perfect choice. Review © 2007, Wcities |
