Honokaa-Market-Place
Honokaa
I've noticed a proliferation of Balinese imports (not a good sign) mingling with the old and new Hawaiiana. The eclectic selection of Hawaiian, Asian, and Indonesian handicrafts includes wood crafts, Hawaiian prints, and Hawaiian quilts, from wall hangings and pillows to the full-size quilts, plus a few pieces of jewelry.I've noticed a proliferation of Balinese imports (not a good

\"Rustic, tacky, rare -- there's something for everyone,\" says owner Grace Walker. Every inch of this labyrinthine 2,200-square-foot bazaar is occupied by antiques and collectibles, new and used goods, and countless treasures. You'll find plantation memorabilia, Hawaiiana, bark-cloth fabrics from the 1940s, rhinestone jewelry and rattan furniture from the 1930s, vintage ukuleles, Depression glass, dinnerware from Honolulu's landmark Willows restaurant, koa lamps, Francis Oda airbrush paintings, vintage kimonos, and linens. It's an unbelievable conglomeration, with surprises in every corner. Vigilant collectors make regular forays here to scoop up the 1950s ivory jewelry and John Kelly prints.\"Rustic, tacky, rare -- there's something for everyone,\" says owner
Kamaaina-Woods
Honokaa
The showroom is adjacent to the workshop, so visitors can watch the craftspeople at work on the other side of the glass panel. Local woods are the specialty here, with a strong emphasis on koa and milo bowls. Boxes, carvings, albums, and smaller accessories are also included in the mix, but bowl-turning is clearly the focus. Prices begin at about $10.The showroom is adjacent to the workshop, so visitors can

Elaine Carlsmith spends a lot of time collecting vintage pottery, glassware, kimonos, fabrics, and other treasures to sell to eager seekers of nostalgia. Many beautiful things have passed through her doors, including antique koa furniture, old maps, music sheets, and rare and out-of-print books. The vintage ivory jewelry and Don Blanding dinnerware are grabbed up quickly. The main store is a few doors away from the warehouse, where furniture and larger pieces are displayed.Elaine Carlsmith spends a lot of time collecting vintage pottery,

Shop here for offbeat holographic bumper stickers, jewelry, beads, incense, and New Age amulets. The selection of crystals is impressive, and there are hundreds of boxes of beads, some of them rare European and Asian imports. The owner also has a special camera that purportedly photographs people's auras, or electromagnetic fields, so you can find out what your colors are.Shop here for offbeat holographic bumper stickers, jewelry, beads, incense,
Taro-Patch-Gifts
Honokaa
Taro Patch carries an eclectic assortment of Hawaiian music tapes and CDs, switch plates printed with Hawaiian labels, Ka'u coffee, local jams and jellies, soaps, pareu, books, ceramics, sushi candles, essential oils, and sportswear, such as Hawaiian-print cowboy shirts. The Hawaiian seed lei selection is the best in town: kamani, blue marble, wiliwili, double sheep eye, betel nut, and several other attractive native species.Taro Patch carries an eclectic assortment of Hawaiian music tapes
Ala-Moana-Center
Honolulu
Many of the shops here are the familiar names of mainland chains, such as DKNY, Old Navy, and Eddie Bauer. The three-story, superluxe Neiman Marcus, which opened in September 1998, was a bold move in Hawaii's troubled economy and has retained its position as the shrine of the fashionistas. But there are practical touches in the center, too, such as banks, a foreign-exchange service (Thomas Cook), a U.S. Post Office, several optical companies (including 1-hr. service by LensCrafters), Foodland Supermarket, Longs Drugs, and a handful of photo-processing services. The smaller locally owned stores are scattered among the behemoths, mostly on the ground floor. Nearly 400 shops and restaurants sprawl over several blocks (and 1.8 million sq. ft. of store space), catering to every imaginable need, from over-the-top upscale (Tiffany, Chanel, Versace) to mainland chains such as Gap and Banana Republic. Department stores such as Macy's sell fashion, food, cosmetics, shoes, and household needs. Need shoes? They're a kick at Nordstrom, and Walking Co. has first-rate comfort styles by Mephisto, Ecco, and Naot. A good stop for gifts is Islands' Best, which spills over with Hawaiian-made foodstuffs, ceramics, fragrances, and more. Splash! Hawaii is a good source for women's swimwear. For aloha shirts and men's swimwear, try Macy's, Town & Country Surf, Reyn's, or the terminally hip Hawaiian Island Creations. Lovers of Polynesian wear and pareu shouldn't miss Tahiti Imports. The food court is abuzz with dozens of stalls purveying Cajun food, ramen, pizza, plate lunches, vegetarian fare, green tea and fruit freezes (like frozen yogurt), panini, and countless other treats. Hours are Monday through Saturday 9:30am to 9pm, Sunday 10am to 7pm.Many of the shops here are the familiar names of
Aloha-Tower-Marketplace
Honolulu
There is a perpetual parking shortage here, and if you do manage to find a parking spot, the rates are sky high. Take the trolley if you can. The refurbished Aloha Tower, once the tallest structure in Honolulu, still stands high over the complex. Hawaiian House is a hit with its Island-style interiors and home accents. Dining and shopping prospects abound: Martin & MacArthur gift shop, Hawaiian Ukulele Company, Sunglass Hut, Don Ho's Island Grill, Chai's Island Bistro, and Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant. Retail shops are open Monday through Saturday 9am to 9pm, Sunday 9am to 6pm; dining and entertainment, daily 8am to midnight. Various Honolulu trolleys stop here; if you want a direct ride from Waikiki, take the free Hilo Hattie's trolley or the Waikiki Red Line trolley, which continues on to Hilo Hattie's in Iwilei.There is a perpetual parking shortage here, and if you

Baileys-Antiques-and-Aloha-Shirts
Honolulu
A large selection (thousands) of vintage, secondhand, and nearly new aloha shirts and other collectibles fills this eclectic emporium. It looks as though the owners regularly scour Hollywood movie costume departments for odd ball gowns, feather boas, fur stoles, leather jackets, 1930s dresses, and scads of other garments from periods past. Bailey's has one of the largest vintage aloha-shirt collections in Honolulu, with prices ranging from inexpensive to sky-high. Old Levi's jeans, mandarin jackets, vintage vases, household items, shawls, purses, and an eye-popping assortment of bark-cloth fabrics (the real thing, not repros) are among the mementos in this monumental collection.A large selection (thousands) of vintage, secondhand, and nearly new

DFS-Galleria
Honolulu
\"Boat days\" is the theme at this newly renovated (to the tune of $65 million) Waikiki emporium, a three-floor extravaganza of shops ranging from the superluxe (like Givenchy and Coach) to the very touristy. Great Hawaii food products range from the incomparable Big Island Candies' shortbread cookies to a spate of coffees and preserves. The Tube, a walk-through aquarium, is a big attraction. There are multitudes of aloha shirts and T-shirts, a virtual golf course, surf and skate equipment, a terrific Hawaiian music department, and a labyrinth of fashionable stores once you get past the Waikiki Walk. Fragrances and cosmetics make a big splash at DFS. Starbucks and Jamba Juice serve up coffee and smoothies, and Kalia Grill features rotisserie and deli items for casual dining. Caveat: Some sections are duty-free and therefore restricted to international travelers only. Free live Hawaiian entertainment, featuring hula styles from the 1920s through the 1940s, takes place nightly at 7pm. Daily 9am to 11pm.\"Boat days\" is the theme at this newly renovated (to
Don-Quijote
Honolulu
Stands offering takeout sushi, Korean kal bi, pizza, Chinese food, flowers, Mrs. Fields cookies, and other items for self and home surround this huge emporium. Inside, you'll find household products, a pharmacy, and inexpensive clothing, but it's the prepared foods and produce that excel. The fresh-seafood section is one of Honolulu's best, not far from where regulars line up for the bento lunches and individually wrapped sushi. When Kau navel oranges, macadamia nuts, Kona coffee, Chinese taro, and other Hawaii products are on sale, savvy locals arrive in droves to take advantage of the high quality and good value. Additional branches are at 345 Hahani St., Kailua (tel. 808/266-4400); 850 Kam Hwy., Pearl City (tel. 808/453-5509); and 94-144 Farrington Hwy., Waipahu (tel. 808/678-6800).Stands offering takeout sushi, Korean kal bi, pizza, Chinese food,
