Tini Manini

Super cute children’s store in Haleiwa.
My sister and brother in law and I all stopped in thinking it was just a regular overpriced kids place but there are SOO many cute outfits, toys and trinkets for little ones here.
We walked around and the super helpful sales associate gave us a background on the company, inspiration and design, which totally helped my sister appreciate the pieces in the store. The prices are a little steep, but most of the items are locally made and just too fun and cute to pass up.

Tini Manini is my absolute favorite store to buy baby shower gifts or gifts for young children! I have to admit that when I saw the bikini store that had been there my entire life closing I was very sad and nostalgic thinking of all the custom bikinis I begged for as a child. Then when Tini Manini opened I couldn’t be more thrilled. I bought many gifts for my friends with babies and toddlers before I moved to New York. Remembering things that Tini Manini carried that I wanted to get for people while I lived in New York, I would call and pay over the phone for gifts and they would wrap them and mail them for me which is so beyond ordinary customer service.
Now that I’m back home I always make the trek to Haleiwa to buy gifts for my friends’ children. The shop is filled with locally made toys, clothes, baby blankets, reusable diapers, and bibs. They also carry a bunch of books for children and have a lot of choices by local authors. It was here that I found my two favorite children’s books to gift– A Coconut Named Bob and Too Many Mangos. Whether you’re visiting or a local I definitely recommend having these books for the children in your life. The colors are absolutely gorgeous!
If you’re lucky enough to come in when April is there, you’re in for a treat. I met her my first time venturing in. She’s the owner and she is probably one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. They not only have amazing products but great people who own the store.
So if you need a gift for someone under the age of 10 and want to support a great local business I strongly recommend Tini Manini!

This store is great for local made items. It’s a very clean and well thought out boutique. I don’t want to just call it a store — it’s too great for that. :.)
Thank you for having smiling faces that greet you when you walk in (even after close). The gifts I got at your store are by far the ones with the most personality that shine through. Cute name, cute store, cute everything.

A family owned children’s boutique with unique and locally made products. The staff was very helpful and made it easy to find what I was looking for. There is something for everyone here and I would highly suggest it to anyone looking for great souvenirs to bring home for family&friends.

I love this boutique! Adorable stuff! I got the cutest tribal print romper for my little girl. It’s so unique and very comfy on her. Every time she wears it we get tons of compliments and people asking where I bought it. I also picked up some really yummy tropical scented organic baby soap bars. The owner was very sweet and friendly. I’ll be back next time we visit the North Shore! :)

It’s not cheap but you do get what you pay for. Children’s specialty clothing made locally on the North Shore of Hawaii. Service was friendly and section was excellent. Makes for a great souvenir for your small kids or for people you know that have small kids.

Love love LOVE this boutique and the owner who was extremely friendly and helpful. I am visiting The North Shore for my baby moon and wanted to get a little gift for my awaited little one. I found a beautiful light weight quilt in Hawaiian prints that was sewn very well. Prices match the quality and the fact that you are buying local, not Made in China products which makes it well worth what you pay for.
This boutique is a gem and carries mostly locally made blankets, toys, and clothing and a few brand name baby items. She even ships so if you decide you’d like more or choose to purchase items as gifts later on, this is your boutique. I’m thrilled that I found this place.

I just wanted to thank Catherine for her help and going above and beyond to find the same Amber teething necklace I had purchased there a year ago for my daughter. I live in Elk Grove and just received her new necklace from Haleiwa. Thanks again for your wonderful store and for the great people like Catherine working there!

Absolutely love this store! The lady was super friendly and we chatted for awhile, (can’t remember her name now, but she and her MIL run the store) and very helpful with all of the items. So many different pieces and lots of locally made items, unique as well. Very cute! I wish it was closer, though maybe not cause I would spend too much haha, cause I would visit here much more.
Prices were etsy comparable.

I came in today looking for bikinis for my 2 daughters (4 years old and 16 months). we were shopping for last minutes bikinis since we weren’t prepared for our outing. The help was outstanding and the bikinis are absolutely adorable. prices are definitely etsy affordable. I think this will be my go to shop for the girls

The owner was nice enough to reach out to me to discuss my experience here. She went above and beyond in making it right which is more than I can ask for. Best wishes to Tini Manini.

Unique, quality kids apparel, games, and books. A great source for birthday and Christmas gifts.

We were back on island visiting and stopped in twice during our visit. The first time in we noticed a great selection of unique items, many locally made. We were also pleased to notice that she offers a selection of cloth diapers. Our second time in we were in a bind, we left the diaper bag home and needed a diaper NOW. Our guy is in cloth so we popped in and purchased one of the pocket diapers. First, the price was very reasonable, comparable to what we’ve paid on the mainland for pocket diapers. The diaper has since entered our regular rotation and we love it. She also carries amber teething necklaces. If we were still living on island this would be my first stop for my kiddo. For now, all I can do is recommend to people on island for cloth diapers and natural baby care and to visitors for cute and unique gifts.

Despite the occasion stress social media gives me, the positive benefits greatly outweigh the negative ones like: discovering dreamers who make their beautiful goals into reality, connecting with people over our mutual interests & sometimes, bonding over our insecurities + being inspired through someone else’s initial journey of struggle & seeing them overcome numerous obstacles.
Two years ago, I attended In4mation Chinatown’s December First Friday event to view the «On The In-​Side» Art Show & had my second encounter with The Woolley Brothers, it was also the night I met April Woolley (wife of @woolleynat). It’s amazing how social media allows you to stay connected with people & lovely when your paths cross again in the most unexpected ways.
Last week, I was lucky enough to enjoy North Shore adventures with my visiting cousins & stumbled upon Tini Manini, a children’s clothing boutique located next to Cholo’s Homestyle Mexican Restaurant. Initially, I was compelled to check out Tini Manini because of the Woolley Brothers decals on their storefront windows & as I browsed around the store, I fell head over heels in love with their merchandise.
Tini Manini features adorable products created by local designers & one-​of-​a-​kind items made with love + their walls are adorned with original Woolley Brothers artwork & a surfboard. Within minutes of entering the store, I was greeted by an enthusiastic employee who turned out to be April Woolley; I’ve never encountered anyone who clearly radiated how much love they loved their job.
Thank you April for sharing with me the background story of how Tini Manini came about & restoring my faith in remaining positive about the future; your kind words motivate me to continue believing in my «impossible» dreams. Also thank you for encouraging me to purchase the «Haleiwa Surf Club» striped t-​shirt, it fits like a glove!
If you’re looking to style your little one in fresh to death apparel & support a local business OR struggling to find the perfect gift for the keiki in your life, please keep Tini Manini in mind (they’re located in the North Shore Marketplace).
