I use to work here, this is great place to get all your personalized Christmas ornaments. The artist here are really good at their job. Kudos read more

Newly relocated in the Pearlridge Uptown Center on the first floor next to MiniQ Anime Shop. I love how you can personalize Christmas ornaments and they have their own exclusive designs you can't get anywhere unless its from Santa's Pen, which may explain the prices. I'd like to see other ornaments and gift options that don't necessarily have to be exclusively for christmas such as birthdays, etc. read more

Love this place! I used to get customized ornaments at Santa's pen years ago, when they used to be at the Ward location. I have not actually seen them for a while, but was pleasantly surprised when I found them at Pearlridge shopping center. As always, it's always hard to choose just one or two ornaments as they have so many good ones! Since it was just one week before Christmas, they were quite busy, so the wait was an hour to get the items personalized. Other than the wait, staff was really friendly and the penmanship was excellent. read more

The perfect customized Christmas gift for everyone in your life! This year, they have an actual storefront instead of a kiosk with tons of ornaments to choose from! I've personally received 2 ornaments from here and cherish both of them because they are personalized with the special milestones in life. I also love that most ornaments are dated making them extra special! I received one the year my husband & I got our dog in 2019 and one last year to commemorate our first married Christmas together. Most recently, I purchased a 1st Christmas ornament for my newlywed friends to add to their tree. I hope it's something they will cherish for years to come! There are unlimited options in this store from adding a family tree, ornaments for baby's 1st Christmas, you can even create your own ornament by adding as many family members on as you'd like. Prices start at around $10 and go up as the designs become more complicated and depending how many ppl you want added on. Your ornament does take a couple of hours to complete so it's best to come here first, then go shopping and come back later. If not, you may have to come back the next day. Overall, I love giving sentimental and personalized gifts that show you put thought into it! read more

Anytime I pass one of these pop ups or kiosks I have to get a bunch of stuff! I'm a sucker for exclusive, personalized, memorable mementos. Years and years ago I was gifted one of these and I'm so torn up that I have no clue where it went! Since then I've made sure to store them in a safe place and always display them every year as annual keepsakes. Whenever I look at them, they really make me so happy to see that over the years my family grew, and might continue to grow just a bit (fur babies!!) This location is a pop up near the escalator on the Macy's side. It's a small area so it does get really cramped! Because I take advantage of the sale, normally buy X amount and get one free, it takes me at least an hour to choose, write out personalization tickets and pay. I'll buy gifts and get ourselves the free item. Works out for all! The prices can range from at least $10 and up for ornaments that can be personalized for free. Depending on the amount of family members on the ornament, the higher the pricing. There are ornaments that have a set amount of members or ones that can have add ons (hanging or sticky). Most ornaments can be hung on the tree, and some have a stand in the back to place on a shelf. Cute stuff for growing families! I just love all of them, really... This year when bringing out our previously personalized ornaments, I noticed some smudging. I asked if I could bring them in for clean up and they said I could. Along with the seasonal pop up shops, they have a year round store in Waikiki that I'll have to visit. So that's a nice thing to note for customers that need a fix on their ornaments. Everyone was nice as can be during this holiday season. Very accommodating which was nice especially when the crowd was crazy! I don't know exactly when the shops start popping up but I would highly recommend! I wish I had waited til closer to Christmas though. I saw the items being discounted. Only thing is that you're risking them not being able to personalize them in time... read more

It is a family tradition to return every year to Santa's pen for our Christmas ornament! The staff here at the Pearl Ridge location are always helpful and pleasant and very professional. We have been coming here for years and appreciate their service!! Totally love their designs and we love their quick turnaround for pick up it always makes the holidays just a little bit nicer!! Thank you Santa's pen Pearlridge! read more

Incredible creations. Incredible ownership and staff. The ornaments and other Christmas items received are of high quality, and very unique. Great Value for your money. I would love to visit one of the shops but I am in the 48 states, but if I ever get to the island it will be the first place I visit. read more

This particular Santa's Pen location; located in Pearlridge Uptown right in the center of the 2nd floor I believe pops up only durning the time of October - December and specializes in personalized Christmas trinkets such as ornaments, figurines and stockings. I purchased my kids Christmas stockings from them over 6 years ago and today I went back to get a couple more for the addition to our growing family. Depending on what your ordering you maybe asked to pickup your order a day or two later. This is such a feel good store. I absolutely love stopping by here every year and always look forward to seeing them. read more

I usually buy our annual Christmas ornament from their Kahala location, but this year I was dissapointed to find that they did not pop up at Kahala Mall. A friend told me that they were at Pearlridge so I came by to this location to check them out. FIrst of all, they are HUGE compared to the Kahala Mall location. I don't know if they have more selection or if it was just spaced out more but It was definitely a larger square footage. However, there seemed to be no social distancing or control of the number of people in the kiosk. It was very crowded in there (3 days before Christmas). I was ready to personalize and a nice young girl helped me out. A grouchy older lady immediately took the tray away from her and began personalizing it while I stood in line to pay. Although she was a little rough, I appreciated not having to wait a few hours or make a return trip like I have to do every year at Kahala. By the time I got up to the cash register, the 3 ornaments I bought this year were done. (Pro tip, buy 4 white tag oranments, get 1 free) I didn't need my last 2 personalized. After paying, they stamped my loyalty card. (Don't forget to show it if you still have it, they're not issuing new ones!) Then they told me to exit the kiosk and come around tothe other side to pick it up from the girl who packaged the bags. She wrapped the ornaments very carefully with tissue paper and labeled it so that I would know which ornament was which. Overall, I am very pleased with my experience here and may return to this location next year instead of Kahala simply due to the quick service!!! read more

I was so impressed by Lara's talent at the NEX Santa's Pen kiosk! She has beautiful penmenship to start with, but she is such a sweet person. I decided to make family Christmas ornaments for my new found familes who all live in the Midwest (I'm adopted and just found my birth families this past year). I wanted to send them something "Hawaiian" and personalized, so I stopped by the kiosk one day and found lots of great ones. Lara personalized all my ornaments and over the next few days, I realized I'd spelled a few names wrong. So I went back to the kiosk and Lara just erased my mistakes and re-wrote the correct names. I was so afraid they were ruined, but she just erased them and started over! Once wasn't bad, but by the 3rd time, I felt a little dumb. Lara never flinched, she was awesome and I will most definitely be a repeat customer! read more

Santa's Pen is a small store that sells the CUTEst personalized Christmas ornaments ever. They have locations in different areas of Hawaii. I had to call around this year to find out that their seasonal locations are at Pearlridge Uptown and Navy Exchange Rotunda. Year-round locations are at Dole Plantation, Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort, Waikiki Beach Marriot Resort & Spa, and at Lahaina inside Koa's Seaside Grill. I went to the Pearlridge location this year. There is a wide selection of ornaments available to choose from. There are Hawaiian-themed, hobby-related, pets, couples, profession-related, baby, and many other different types of ornaments. My boyfriend and I were looking for a couple's ornament and decided on 2 (one to make up for last year's laziness lol) ornaments: a cute snowmen couple and a bear couple. With our ornaments we could have two attachment ornaments for free! The attachment ornaments are smaller pieces made specifically for names. We wanted our attachment piece to have our dog's name. Each ornament also has a small space to have the year written. What a great way to preserve Christmas memories : The price is not bad for a personalized ornament, but it is pricier than an ornament you buy at a store. The larger the ornaments, the more it costs, but it's so worth the memories it creates! There was also a deal of getting a free ornament if you purchase 4 :) The sales associates were so friendly and told us it would take 10-15 minutes to have the ornaments personalized. After walking around the mall, we went to pick up them up and they were exactly how we imagined them. I'm currently writing this review while glancing at them on our Christmas tree and I have to say that I'm very, very, very satisfied and happy. Thank you Santa's Pen! Merry Christmas! read more

I buy from there ever year. This is is no exception. I went there 2x & bought over $200 worth of ordainments. Today I bought the 2nd time & bought 4 ordainments & found out at check out 2 were not part of the buy 4 get 1 free sale. I still bought them. Then after I walked out I decided to go back & buy 2 more so I could get 1 free. The manager on duty said I couldn't get 1 free because I already paid for the other items. Literally, It was only a few minutes, so I put back the other ones I was going to buy. I felt that was so greedy & so un holiday like. Very disappointed for a company thats business is the holiday season. Spent the $$ somewhere else. Not sure if I will buy from them ever again...this year is for the birds read more

Review for Dole Plantation all year around location. The staff was super nice! They chatted with my son about Pokemon Go while the ornament was being personalized and wrapped up. The selection was great and they all looked so cute it was hard to decide. We decided on Shaka Santa. It was personalized with our last name and 2017. We will definitely be back for the next few years ornaments while we live here. read more

Santa's Pen - Shaka Santa. It was so hard to decide on just one! I wanted them all. - Home Decor Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Since the holidays is around the corner, and since we had our son this summer. I thought it'd be a great way to start a new tradition; since it's his first Holiday season, to get personalized ornaments for our tree was a good idea. Today, they had a sale of buy 4 get the 5th ornament free. Now, I spent a great amount of $$ just for ornaments. Just because I want it to be special for this new found family tradition we're going to partake in. The picture I have attached says it all. The bigger ornaments, where you can add attachments on them. And per the workers there they assured that you can just peel the backing of it and will have adhesive to stick on the ornament. Once you buy one of the bigger ornaments, you get 2 complimentary pieces. Since I wanted to add both my family and my husbands, there's a total of 10 of us including our dog. So in addition I purchased 8 at $3 a piece = $24. Now you would think that paying that much, the backing would have adhesive and once you get home, haul your tree out of storage (or moreso, have your husband haul it out of storage, lol), you start to peel the backings of all the attachments, to only find no sticky part. Kind of disappointing. No choice now but to add sticky glue on these attachments, so I can hang it on my tree. Just wish this business could be more considerate on what they're selling; and if it's old inventory, from last years sale; maybe just make it a special price so it'll be cheaper and buyers will know they MIGHT have to find another source to stick them on. Don't get me wrong, these are cute, personalized keepsake items that we can use every year. Penmanship is cute, but I think they only use sharpie to write on the the parts you want personalized. Unsure if I'd want to come back to purchase more ornaments next year. Maybe, I just have to be more aware. read more

When I saw this place in the mall, I was really excited to get my baby daughter some personalized ornaments for our tree. So today, I stopped by and bought two cute ornaments. However, when they did the writing on it, I was really disappointed. First, they did NOT use a capital letter for her name. Second, the handwriting looked a little messy and didn't look anything like the displays they had, which had way nicer penmanship. I feel like I honestly could have done a better job myself with a sharpie. Because it's personalized and the receipt says "all sales final. No refunds or exchanges," I figured I'd take the ornaments and be on my way. I'm unsatisfied with the quality and I'm tempted to go back to buy blank ornaments and write on them myself. I do love the concept and their selection is cute, but the handwriting needs to be better. read more

My family and I LOVE Santa's Pen in Aiea! It's located in Pearlridge Mall on the second floor next to Animation World and Bath and Body Works. We come here every year to make an ornament since it's our little tradition and not once have they disappointed us or let us down. We came yesterday which was a Sunday around 2pm and it was pretty busy. We picked out our ornament and started to wait in line. While we were in line one of the workers comes around asking you to write down what you would like to customize your ornament with. Then you wait in another line where you pay and then they give you your estimated time that it'll be done and ready for pick up. It usually takes about an hour but yesterday it was quite busy so it took about two hours for it to finish which isn't a big deal at all. I was surprised at how well their customer service is though. There was a lady in front of me who was quoted an hour at first when she was looking at ornaments. I heard her say that it used to never take that long. When she went to pay the guy told her it'll take about two hours but you can always come back the next day if you can't pick it up today. She refused that and said that she was previously quoted an hour. The man behind the counter kept his composure and went to talk to I assume is the manager. He came back afterwards and told her that they'll have it done in 15 minutes. Of course it pushes everyone else's ornaments back but I was very happy with how well their customer service is and how that young man handled that situation. The little pop up is always very neat, clean and well kept. Whenever people ask for a place to get customized ornaments I always recommend Santa's Pen since they do it free with a purchase! Love this place!! read more

I went to the temporary location at the NEX. For the record, I'm not the type to admire Christmas ornaments but they have so many cute personalized ones that I couldn't resist. The workers were all very kind and helpful in helping me choose the right one. Beautiful penmanship at this location and they went beyond my expectations. read more
