Things to do in Honolulu, Hawaii (HI): The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

July 15, 2021 Brandee Mangan

The mere mention of Hawaii is enough to prompt visions of grass skirts and colorful cocktails with tiny umbrellas. While you will find some kitsch in Honolulu, you’ll also find art museums, bike paths, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Popular Waikiki Beach has soft sands and great surf. For majestic Oahu views scramble to the top of Diamond Head – a 350-acre volcanic crater. Historic structures like Iolani Palace and Ali'iolani Hale are worth a visit on a non-beach day.

This little shop has yummy shaved ice treats...the rainbow with ice cream on the bottom is highly recommended and a local favorite...at least a favorite of the kids...wink. If you have a Kona Ice truck in your town, which is good, go here to see what a REAL shaved ice treat from Hawaii tastes like. Again...yummy.!

Hawaii Fabrics

Reviewed By spang448

I had the best time shopping for fabric and talking with David, it was truly one of the highlights of my trip. I am a quilter so I shop for fabric whenever I travel and David offers such a great selection with such reasonable prices it was wonderful. I used Uber from Waikiki beach and although I could have walked it was well worth the cost of the ride.
