Yarn lei supplies in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. When my mom calls me, I worry. She hardly ever calls - and when she leaves a message to call her back, I'm ready for the worst.... I called her back as soon as I psyched myself up. Mom had a nervous laugh in her voice, so I braced myself even more... She explained that she and her classmates wanted to do something for the 88 graduates of their high school, Sacred Hearts Academy. They didn't want to give a perishable flower lei, so they thought that a yarn lei would be appropriate. What does that have to do with me? I attended Maryknoll School. Hah! Mom knows that I know how to make a yarn lei - and quite efficiently. I had made 100 lei for my nephew's graduation, so, what's 88 more? Mom also knows that I know where to get supplies at a reasonable price. She suggested that I call Max Imports and see if they're open. It's not easy saying "no" to mom. Thinking about all the sacrifices she made for me over the decades... well... you know... So, of course, mom was right. Max Imports was open. The phone was answered right away and the nice lady on the phone helped me so much. I told her that I needed to make 88 lei. She asked what school and figured out the colors: Yellow grosgrain ribbon - 3 spools White long eyelash yarn - 9 packages Yellow short eyelash yarn - 9 packages Total = $485.34, including tax I told the kind lady that I could be there in about an hour after getting cash from the bank - no problem. That was enough time for her to pull the items from the shelves. When I got to Max Imports in Kalihi, there was metered street parking and a free parking lot next to the warehouse. I went up to the table like she described and rang the "Apple Bell". She appeared quickly and I gave her the cash. She went back inside to get a receipt for me. I found out that her name was Alice. I had seen her before at the Douglas Trade Shows at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center. I had bought yarn and ribbon from them several times in the past. I had even come to this shop to get supplies. Alice was so knowledgeable and pleasant. She even helped me carry a box to my car! As we walked, I thanked her because I know that the prices at Walmart and Longs are higher. She added that those retailers wouldn't have the quantity I needed. She's right! So - if you need to make many lei, come to Max Imports for the best prices and service! Good luck!

Selection: Unfortunately, the key fob I needed was out of stock, so I won't receive it for a couple of weeks or so, by shipping, even though I had to pay for the fob today.

Some newer items like old school style maki rolls...not the overly sauced and smothered in crunchy distractions like deep fried scallions or crunchy garlic...but the type of rolls I grew up with. With these sushi rolls comes a couple packages of Japanese wasabi that actually real wasabi root in it. That really took me by surprise. Also included are Yamasa shoyu packs as well as some small packs of ginger also from Japan. The rolls are cut into 8 pieces and run $13 ish. A great deal. The other new-ish thing they have is a pack of marbled blue and monterey cheese slices. It looked super interesting so I picked one up...that sh*t is delicious. I'm gonna have to pick up more and put it in the freezer since like most things at Costco, it will inevitably disappear from the shelves. And speaking of things that disappear never to be seen again is the garlic spread Toom. That was super garlic forward with a hint of lemon juice. It was sold as a dip but I used it in so many sauces. I'm sad to see it missing from the shelves.

Last Christmas I used all of my supply of cellophane bags that I used to bag the cookies in. The supplier I used to buy my bags no longer exist. Boo hoo. As you can see, I was in desperate need of finding another supplier. One day when I was checking out my friend Nadine's activity I came across...ISLANDS MARKETING. When I read her review, it was exactly what I was looking for. Yay, I was so happy to hear about this supplier. Finally, I had a day off during the week so I took a ride to Kalihi to check them out. I was blown away the moment I stepped foot into the tiny storefront.! I am a sucker for gift bags, cellophane bags, cute food boxes, containers and packaging supplies. This is the place to come. The prices are reasonable too! Eric the owner was very friendly and helpful. He showed me different types of cellophane bags for my cookies. He recommended that I buy the lip and tape bags to keep my cookies fresh longer. I bought a pack of 100 lip and tape bags as well as other cellophane bags for other purposes. I will definitely be back for more! If you are looking for packaging supplies that are cute and purposeful, come check out ISLANDS MARKETING in Kalihi. You'll thank me for that!

The aisles are fairly wide and while it's busy, I can usually navigate this store easily. I've always enjoyed the selection of items from the bakery section--I like coming here for just a cake slice or single piece of cheesecake sometimes. One thing that does annoy me is that some of the aisles are now locked up and need a customer service associate to come unlock the display and give you your item. When I have a choice, I will wait and go to another place that doesn't lock items up like that. I would rather the store pay more for security and loss prevention than to inconvenience shoppers and make them get customer service to unlock items. That's just me. Good variety of items, helpful clerks at the front. Just wish I didn't need someone to help me unlock my items.
