House of Mana Up

House of Mana Up has an online presence and five store locations; this one is inside of the Royal Hawaiian Center.Tongue in cheek .. I would describe this as a brick-and-mortar Etsy store featuring products made in Hawaii.Floor space is expensive, but the curators arrange things nicely, so each producer's product, or product category, has room to stand out. The range of products is diverse; but I would describe the main categories as: clothing and accessories; food items; household decor; and books and printed items.It is worth a visit to try and find souvenirs or gifts that are not the usual tourist kitsch.

What a great evening with Mana Up and Bank of Hawaii! We started off in a panel discussion about business acquisition then strolled across the street to their new flagship! What a beautiful open space highlighting tons of amazing local businesses. It was great meeting hawaii business owners looking to strengthen the economy and community here in Hawaii nei. I was too busy meeting hearts this time and want to revisit during business hours to experience the palpitations. Who knows what will come in the future! Lord willing I'll be able to feeeel the deep beats!!! Who knows, maybe even sparkle

Please check out the House of Mana Up website: https://houseofmanaup.com/So many goods!!!I was able to find the perfect care package full of local goods for a special friend leaving the island. The package I selected included jerky, salts, coffee, chips, chocolate and caramel. They were all local goods, and so well packed, the packaging is beautiful and no mistaken products from Hawaii.I will definitely consider this place again. The gift packages will make a very special gift!Thank you House of Mana Up!

The BEST local business to send gifts to the mainland!This review is for their online store. I recently came across the Jules & Gem line of scents, and my mom became obsessed with how authentic the floral scents are. This was the only place -- online or in person -- I could find their pikake diffuser in stock. I was happy enough that I was able to find the diffuser at all, but what I didn't expect was how impressive this specific vendor would be! When the box arrived, my mom opened it and gasped. The packaging was so thoughtful and beautiful that my mom is still talking it about it hours later! She didn't even want to throw away the wrapping! It may seem like a small thing, but it made the gifts inside the box feel twice as special. We will definitely be ordering gifts for mainland friends and family through House of Mana from now on. Thanks to their attention to detail, anyone who receives a box from them is bound to feel like they got something special.

What an awesome store filled with local item all made, grown thought up and found here in Hawai'i.Many are simply unique to the islands, organic macadamia nuts, chocolates and clothing all is here in one store each with a story behind each product you know is something special all supporting local entrepreneurs and small businesses here in the islands.Some I've recognize many are new to me as I browse around it's so beautifully organized and I loved it's all found here and for future reference know where I'm able to find.I did walk away with a few items I'm excited to mail friends for the holidays. You can find House of Mana Up in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center on the ground floor in building A.Aloha!!

They're located in the Royal Hawaiian Center open-air shopping mall along Waikiki's Lewers Street. (For those from California Bay Area's South Bay, Lewers Street is basically Santana Row.) It has its own parking garage. The first hour is free, and then the rates are applied unless you get parking validation by spending $10+ from any of the retail stores or restaurants, House of Mana Up included. Military and residents get three free hours of parking and, in this case, you'll have to get your receipts validated at the guest services desk.This is their brick-and-mortar location; they also have a pop-up location on Hawaii (the Big Island) and a whole thing on YouTube. As a boutique, it's convenient if you want to get something that's for sure locally made, more unique, or just more boujie souvenirs. Definitely pricier, but things are packaged more nicely and more interesting than what you'd get at the ABC stores across and down the street. House of Mana Up's selection seems to mainly be housewares, clothes (for both children and adults), art, jewelry and accessories, natural cosmetics, and some food (honey, chocolates, coffee, syrups, etc.). I found that the jars the honey came in were solid, so they traveled well. If you get something from here that you or your friend really like, you can order more from their website and they ship. Their YouTube series kind of goes more into the local producers, and where certain products come from and are made.Would recommend dropping by to look. It's such a convenient collection of artisanal goodies (that they are very informative about) and I like how they showcase a number of local producers. Everything that I got here was a huge hit back home.

AWESOME STORE!My spouse and and I are doing a staycation in Waikiki and were walking around the Royal Hawaiian Center. We saw this store and were pleasantly surprised. It's awesome to find a local business that is empowering local entrepreneurs. This is an awesome place, especially for tourists visiting. It's an awesome way to take a slice of Hawai'i home and support locals here.All the items are high-quality and beautiful crafted. I love it!

Bought beautiful artwork here, and highly recommend anyone come shop here for gifts or the home. Grace made this experience entirely worthwhile. Her knowledge the island and local artists made our quick visit super memorable. People like Grace are invaluable to what makes Hawaii special.

Pros: the selection here is so nice. I know they're doing a huge collab with Hawaiian Air and growing all of their cohorts of local businesses and that is amazing to pour money back into the local community. Having lived here it's important to me to see a place in Waikiki catered to give back to the aina. Cons: on two separate occasions (last June and today), I have found the workers very disengaged. The clothing does not have a variety of sizes (only XS) and today, the woman never spoke to us. She was on her phone the whole time which really does a disservice to all these hard working entrepreneurs work.I want to give 5 stars but dock it for not greeting, helping and being just friendly which is the aloha spirit.

Writing this review based on the local products and customer service I received on my visit. I was looking for a one stop shop for local snacks to send to a friend who recently moved away. He was home sick and needed some Aloha. Sending him a care package loaded with local snacks would cheer him up.House of Mana up supports local products and carries a wide variety of them that I have not seen in other stores. They not only have local snacks, but also carry local fashion, artwork, and beauty products. The sales person who was there on the day I visited was very helpful and made recommendations. If you want to shop local come and checkout their store located in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center.
