I could spend a couple of hours just wandering around. It looks like they have knitting classes and other craft classes too. I wish I needed something but I was just tagging along.

Uniquely Kawaii…read more.. That's what CAS Crafts & Collectibles is, located in Pearlridge Center this little kiosk cart is filled to the brim top to bottom with all thinks kawaii not just stationaries and accessories but plushies and decor. Pearlridge Center is filled with many places anime and Kpop though here they just seem to find items that aren't found anywhere else and at such great prices what a find to see items that are so special and makes my gift giving a breeze! What a find including some Line Friends items which is just the most difficult ones to find and they have it here yay!! My bestie have apparently discovered this place which I have known for quite some time but haven't had the chance to write a review but they certainly deserve the five stars for the selection and friendly staff who points out the matching item to pair with whatever direction I'm going and that's a ten star team! Thank you!

Super cute merchandise at a kiosk in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawaii…read more.. Strolling through Pearlridge Mall, I didn't expect to see Brown and Cony, but there they were... As angels together! How can I resist? Located between TJ Maxx and Macy's, this section of Pearlridge used to be called Downtown, but now, it's Wai Makai. I wasn't going to buy anything... Really... We had just finished breakfast and had time before lunch... CAS Crafts & Collectables has so many cute items - pens, stationary, keychains, plushies, etc. I actually found Brown and Choco pillows from Line Friends (the Korean version of Sanrio). I had to get the Brown plushie for my friend's birthday next month! She'll luv it!!! I don't want to show her the Brown and Cony angel plushies... There was only one... and it was priced lower than an online store (plus - avoid paying shipping)!!! It's also better to get items from this kiosk - rather than going to Korea to buy them! Haha! Come take a look! There are unique things here! ... and service was very friendly and helpful!

Fun, unique souvenir shop with art and trinkets from Hawaii…read more Small and quaint and fun to look at

Not a tourist shop, this is a lovely boutique where locals would also shop to purchase that unique…read moreitem fir your home, the one that stands out because it obvious the design is from local talent. The shop is filled with items made locally - pillows with beautiful fabrics and prints; framed prints of Hawaiian scenery or the colors of the sea, sand and surf; women's clothing, like shawls, flowing maxi dresses and tunics in gorgeous shades of the sea. And of course vintage Hawaiian prints for both men and women looking for a shirt or dress. I especially liked the gift items. The purses and jewelry are so unique and beautiful. Same with the carves & sarongs; the prints are vibrant and different from what you find at the ABC stores. If you prefer a piece from a local artist over the mass produced clothing and gifts from chain stores, visit Kai Ku Hale right in the strip of stores in Haleiwa, look for the cat snoozing in the green chair out front!

Supporting small has never been on such a grand scale here at Aloha Home Market in Ala Moana…read moreCenter. This unique market is simply artsy with so many vendors that literally completes your home environment with unique goods each in its own way and I just can't believe that I've never wrote a review of this place most probably because I want to keep it to myself. What's great about it well location conveniently right on the mall level outside of Macy's and that makes it with free parking of course and the covered parking makes it worry free of any sudden weather changes. Well on this trip it was the first for 2023 and with many vendors still in recovery mode from the holidays there was just half the amount than usual but it certainly didn't feel like it as each and every one was just so amazing me and my bestie literally stopped at every one. There was a surprise newbie to this market was Upcycle Hawaii who's from the Big Island and only does one show on Oahu so I was so delighted to see them here and from what it sounds will probably be here for a few more events woohoo!! With that and grabbing some tea at Wynnwood Farms, a tote at Renyu, building our own keycharms at Kassidy's Kreations we both got our retail therapy done and more! Follow them on Instagram @alohahomemarket and sign up for their emails for more detailed information regarding their markets so you'll never miss out on that therapy session. Thank you!
