    We had just finished a delicious breakfast next door at Sweet E's, and as we were walking to the car, I stopped to look in the window to this stationary shop. They were closed (they are closed every Sunday), but the door was ajar and then the owner walked up to me and asked if I wanted to look around. Nice! It turns out she had a client meeting that morning and so she let us browse around while she was meeting with her client. What friendly service. I loved the stationary. Most of the creations are her own and she said that she makes them using a letterpress that she has at home. Wow. Her designs are original and much more elegant than anything that you can buy at Hallmark. Although it's more expensive than the generic cards that you can buy at Hallmark or Longs, the quality of the paper and elegant designs justifies the price.

    Looking for great custom stationery for any occasion or pre-printed note cards/thank you cards? Look no further than this cute stationery boutique, South Shore Paperie! I ordered 25 bridal shower invitations (digitally printed) for my daughter a few months ago, and I was so pleasantly surprised with the finished product! I wanted something personal, original, and with the color scheme of my daughter's wedding; however, I did not have a specific format in mind. Its owner/graphic designer by trade, Stacey Nomura, was so helpful in showing me various designs and color schemes of invitations that they had previously done. She also helped to revise some of my wording and fonts to make it picture perfect, printed the names/addresses of the invitees on the front of the envelopes, printed my return address on the back of the envelopes, and printed blank recipe cards (she suggested these be printed on a set card, otherwise, recipes would be submitted in all shapes and forms). I also ordered matching thank you cards. The entire process was during their busiest time of year (Oct./Nov.) when they were in the midst of designing/printing custom Christmas cards ordered by the 1000's. My order took several weeks, going back and forth via e-mail and visits to her business, to ensure my complete satisfaction. (For those who know me, I tend to scrutinize details like this until the end result is picture perfect in my eyes.) And Stacey did not let me down, as she was a fantastic help based on her creative expertise and experience. Furthermore, the cost of the invitations was very reasonable. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/south-shore-paperie-honolulu?select=cSCGz9zKdr0p0xjPYjro1Q I had so many compliments from those who received the invitations, e.g., they were so pretty, elegant, artfully creative, nice colors, etc. I was so pleased with the outcome, as I did not want to use those fill-in-the-blank invitations or bother to do my own on a computer. Prior to going to SSP, I did check with some of the larger stationery stores; however, I did not receive the personal attention as I did with SSP. Further, these larger stores printed them on the Mainland, which included a longer processing time + a shipping charge. Wished we could have also ordered wedding invitations from SSP; however, we did not know about SSP at the time a commitment was made elsewhere. Started in 2005, SSP is owned/operated by a husband (Ian) and wife (Stacey) team. Their business is unique in that they are one of a few stationers that provide letterpress printing, i.e., letters/designs deeply pressed into luxurious cardstock using hand-mixed inks via a letterpress machine; it creates a beautiful, textured print that is slowly disappearing due to computerized digital processes. In 2007, they purchased a Heidelberg Windmill letterpress, which was made in Germany in 1960 and weighs more than 3000 pounds. You can actually smell the scent of the inks while the letterpress machine is clunking as it prints the stationery. Besides letterpress and digital printing, SSP provides stationery design, illustration, and graphic design services. They carry their exclusive line of quality stationery that they've created on their own called Bradley & Lily Fine Stationery, which is named after their two young children. They also carry a selection of unique hard-to-find stationery items that are handpicked by Ian and Stacey, which include small gifts, wrapping paper, ribbons, note books, note cards, greeting cards, and vintage postcards in both letter-pressed and digital formats. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/south-shore-paperie-honolulu?select=lrkYy4v2ZFHLyXFcpB67Nw http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/south-shore-paperie-honolulu?select=BcHnQwrqBQgAkWIwl6ETqA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/south-shore-paperie-honolulu?select=g8Vz92-22sfwn57rtLauEw Located in Kilohana Square in Kapahulu with free parking available in a private lot. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/south-shore-paperie-honolulu?select=mQ-tSf3pwjTM7whisMgorA I can't wait until the next time when I'll need custom-made invitations for a special occasion. As I still correspond via "slow mail" with a pen pal since the 2nd grade, I now know where I can find a charming, unique greeting card or notecard. These creative, one-of-a-kind, and quality stationery items are waiting for me at SSP.

    Bradley & lily cards!

    The mainland has Rifle Paper Company and we have South Shore Paperie. It's the same store as the Bradley & Lily listing on Yelp. I now know where to go if I'm ever looking for beautiful wedding, birthday, thank you, or any other special card. I originally saw their cards at Owens & Co and wanted to check out their store front location. So glad I came! Cards and beautiful stationary! Some with letterpress and they do custom invites as well. All their cards have a little island twist to them and I love that about it as it adds so much love and character to each card. The quality is great and the price is not cheap but I think well worth the quality and original designs. You save by buying the bulk cards rather than singles. I believe they carry a couple designers but Bradley & Lily is by far my fave. These are the types of cards when you receive from a friend, you know they love you. They're that special and beautiful looking. They even have discounted cards, which have minor errors (like a small stray line) and are a total steal! I've decided I'm coming here for all my future wedding and birthday card needs so that everyone can feel a little special when they get this pleasant surprise. Oh and another great thing is they are open on Saturday. Yay! Come visit, browse the pretty pieces, and pick up a few cards or two and support this great store!

    Cute and classy local designs! None of that cheesy touristy stuff.

    This store is pretty small but there are lots of things to look at! The paper goods may seem expensive at first but you should take into account that these are locally made with local themes and very classy yet cute--not the cheap, cheesy, touristy stuff you find at Walmart or Waikiki. They have postcards, notebooks, folded cards, place cards, stickers, and lots of other random knick-knacks. I wish they had letter paper too. They had an assortment of modern spin-offs of vintage toys and cute children's books. There was a Ganesha book by Sanjay Patel that I remember in particular because I saw an article about the artists on the Internet and was surprised to see it in this store. There was smooth jazz playing when I was there, which was a nice touch. I believe you can also get customized stationary here too. The service was quite friendly. We weren't greeted instantly but I think the staff member might've been in the back when we came in. We came on a Monday afternoon--they typically aren't open on Mondays but maybe they had extended hours during the holidays. Just be aware that the parking is limited, especially if you come when other stores have their peak hours (ex: Sweet E's). Highly recommend if you're in to stationary or even if you just want to see some whimsical things!

They have an…read more80th celebration tomorrow, 7/18, with street eats food truck, Eden In Love Watanabe Floral collab, Olive Branch Hawaii Pop-Up, In store flower bar, 1 dozen medium roses for $9.99 & 5 for $10. anthurim sale. Watanabe Floral is Hawaii's largest full service floral shop since 1946, and my favorite shop. I try to visit here at least once a week to pick up roses/florals for my 2 vases, this help me think of a special person in my life who Loves floral. This place is such a happy vibe place/feeling, once you enter you will know what I mean. I just love the decor, so colorful, cheerful, so happy! I remember the very first time when I brought my mom here, I could see her happy face, I had to snap a photo of her at front of store. My recent visit I picked 10 colorful roses for my vase and also had to pick up a Birthday gift. Loved looking at all the orchids, picking one was hard. Watanabe has everything here, not only floral needs, you can just do your one stop gift shopping her. Like a local Hallmark with all the trinkets, gifts, snacks, jewelry, some very unique items that I never seen before. I came across the handmade crochet items and couldn't pass up on the bird and flower key chain, had to get them. They have very great vendors they purchase from, that's a great for supporting local! All in all, I just love shopping here! Don't forget - Mon-Sat. 9-4 & closed on Sundays! May your life be as beautiful as the flowers you give, spread happiness and joy with flowers!!

    I've ordered from this company multiple times because I live off-island and rely on them to deliver…read moreflowers to my mom for special occasions and holidays. Up until now, they've always done a great job, but this recent experience for Mother's Day was extremely disappointing. First, the delivery driver brought the wrong bouquet. I paid $209.41 (including delivery), but my mom received a bouquet that was clearly not what I ordered later confirmed to be a lower priced arrangement. I had to call customer service, who then contacted the driver immediately. While I appreciate that they responded quickly, it still took about 47 minutes for the driver to return, take back the incorrect bouquet, and retrieve the correct one from the truck. When the correct arrangement finally arrived, the presentation was still off. The vase was too short for the flowers, making the bouquet look unbalanced and like it was falling out. For over $200, I expected much better attention to detail and quality. On top of that, the company advertised "free delivery," but that only applied to very limited areas on the island. I still had to pay a delivery fee despite the initial mistake being entirely on their end, which felt misleading. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience, especially for a special occasion like Mother's Day. I've had good experiences before, but this one really missed the mark.

Located on the corner of 3rd Avenue and Waialae Avenue, across from Chaminade University/Saint Louis School, Patty's Floral Designs is a local business that has been around for decades! The quality is outstanding! I looked at Patty's Instagram posts and was blown away by the colors, varieties, and beauty of her creations! She has a good eye and is very professional! I just had to meet her after passing by the shop all of these years! We were picking up lunch from the restaurant next door. The free, small, shared parking lot is much appreciated! I went inside initially for the air-conditioning. Then, I met Patty - she is so sweet! She showed me a lei po'o (crown of flowers for the head) that she just finished... ooh! It holds its shape because she winds the flowers around a wire! Smart! I've read reviews by my friends, Kelly K., Paul M., Nicole, Holly, Ric C., and Lyn L. They were all happy with Patty's work. I'll come here next when I need a bouquet or two!

I was talking to my sister in law about her upcoming courthouse wedding. She wasn't going to have a bouquet since it would be a small ceremony but I thought it would be nice to get her one and she agreed. I emailed Patty just to see about pricing and availability. They responded right away with all their options and pricing so I could decide. They put me on for that Saturday and confirmed everything. I said designer's choice for the bouquet and was a little worried but I shouldn't have been! When we got there Saturday morning to pick up the flowers, Patty greeted us. She was soooo nice. The flowers came out so beautifully and the lei was nice and full. Amazing service and quality! I would highly recommend and come here again :)
