Shopping in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Strolling along the sidewalk, I passed by Aloha Kira and did a double take. I saw Miffy on the top shelf of this store. I had to go in and ask... "Is this store related to the one in Waikiki?" Yes! This is the sister store of Kira x Miffy at the Royal Hawaiian Center! Of course, we had to look at all of the Miffy merchandise... fanny packs, hair clips, stickers, caps, plushies, etc. Other items featured Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody, Snoopy, and more! There were pet gifts and a children's corner! The decor was cute and bright! Service was cheerful and attentive! We'll be back because this shop is more convenient than Waikiki! Plus... there's free parking behind the building!

I love this little boutique shop but who really loves this spot is my dog- they even have a little…read morepolaroid photo of Lando up in the shop. Everytime we go in, they are sure to give Lando so much love and treats. When I try on clothes, the girls here even offer to hold Lando when I'm in the dressing room. Lando will pull me to Aloha Kira everytime we're in the area- he loves the cute dog sections with dog toys and bandanas. The curation of all the stuff here is immaculate - exactly my style! My biggest weakness is baggu bags- and they always have all the newest styles and colors. I will always check Aloha Kira before buying it online and avoid the shipping costs and wait. The selection here rotates so they always have the newest trends- from dresses, matching sets, and I love getting sunglasses from here. If you're looking for a gift for the "it girl" in your life, Aloha Kira is the shop to check out! It's a good price range, especially for gifts!

Shopping in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. We were strolling past this store when a cute little tote bag caught our eyes... We were drawn in by all of the colors, varieties of merchandise, and quality of goods. SoHa Living has several locations. This store is known for home decor, home furnishings, and souvenirs. Besides tote bags, we looked at earrings, hats, magnets, zippered pouches, pillows, shell necklaces, note cards, dishes, and more! Staff were busy with customers, so we really didn't interact with anyone. It's a great place to browse and purchase gifts!

Looking for something unique to send to my friends out to the states is challenging at times as the usual items found in Waikiki isn't as crafted with the local flair that we all love, tastefully chosen items are so appreciated.

I like looking at all the snack options and cute Knick-knacks I can add to my collection.

Locally made chocolate!…read more I've seen Manoa Chocolate bars sold in various local grocery stores and shops over the years. My husband and I never had them until we booked a reservation for Manoa Chocolate's factory tour at this location during our local honeymoon six years ago, days before the pandemic started, when the factory tour used to be held here. My husband and I sampled a few chocolate pieces while our tour guide showed us Manoa Chocolate's cacao harvesting and chocolate-making process. We learned that those mainstream confectioners use fillers in their chocolate bars and lists sugar as their first ingredient! Since then, my husband and I have had Manoa Chocolate's monthly subscriptions at least on two different occasions, including today! A monthly subscription costs $25 for 3 bars--1 limited edition bar and 2 bars from their permanent menu; a better deal than buying individual bars! The subscription has better value the longer the subscription is. I love the variety of milk and dark chocolate bars. We've also ordered a bag of cacao brew and have mixed it with freshly ground coffee for a hot brew. If you love getting ice cream from Sage Creamery, their chocolate ice creams are made with Manoa Chocolate!
