Small Kine Gift

Small Kine Gift is new on the block but has already become one of my favorite spots to shop. From art to books, to quirky trinkets and fun snacks. I've been in a few times, even coming in on their first day and every time I come in there's new stuff to browse. Most recently they brought out their Chinese herb cabinet packed with little trinkets -- I picked up a mini measuring tape keychain. Every drawer is a different little trinket and I had so much fun opening (most of) the drawers and discover what was inside.One of my bigger purchases from here was a book on Arts and Crafts of Hawai'i. This was a book that I remember seeing in my tutu's house-- which just goes to show that you can find a gift for anyone and everyone here. In this store it's so easy to spend $500 on a couple things or $20 and walk out with the same number of things. This is just a happy space with happy people who know how to curate a vibe.

Big Kine Slay. An absolute gem and addition to the neighborhood. They bring in so many fun knick knacks, snacks, clothing, books, etc. all in one place. They pride themselves in bringing items you can't buy anywhere else and import a ton of their wares. Always love coming here because they tend to bring in something new and different each time they open up shop every week. Love this place and you'll definitely see me here LOL!

Big Kine Fun...Love this new shop in Kaimuki right beside Public Pet as from the storefront doesn't prepare you for what they have available within their walls. Walking in you already feel the vibe here is just fun and festive with a kadomatsu to welcome the new year and bright vibrant rainbow with a disco ball hanging from the ceiling.Browsing around I feel the nostalgia with vintage vibe in the various merchandise along with the local flair that we love is mixed in everywhere from the fūsen gum I grew up eating along with fun stickers that's too cute to use while seeing socks you could wear along with your slippers is genius as get you start your chilly morning with it on that can be removed once it starts to heat up sounds like my kinda vibe.The lei wall threw me for a wow moment and took my breath away, some of the items I did find are quite pricey though this carefully crafted shop does offer a lot of unique find and love that they have it all in one place making it a very big kine fun.Thank you!

New shop to the Kaimuki neighborhood located right next to the Public Pet. If you remember, this spot used to be a cat cafe. There's street parking along Waialae and as long as it is not a weekend, it is pretty open right in front of the store.This store is all kinds of gifts in one place. From snacks to art, they have everything. It is a cute little place to find things you never knew you needed. Staff are super friendly and nice. Definitely check them out for your gifting needs.

Shopping at Small Kine Gift is a really pleasant experience; walking in you can tell how much thought went into every detail of the store from decoration to the curated selection. I appreciate the mix of artsy (local and national) items, Hawaiian specific goods, Japanese imports, books, and fun snacks. It also doesn't hurt that the owners are friendly real humans that don't give off the typical "MUST MAKE A SALE" vibe and instead will have a conversation or just let you browse. Finally, a cute shop dog is the cherry on top - I'm a big Diesel fan.
