Hamilton Boutique

Lovely shop for souvenirs and gifts! They are lovely and smiling, and you can find very cute and nice things. Hawaiian pens (very nice and colorful), hair accessories, magnets and beaitiful hair flowers for $ 2. Highly recommended :)

This type of souvenir shop occurs about every 100 yards or so on Kalakaua in Waikiki but I like this one because it has a lot of choice, it is very roomy with lots of space to browse comfortably and the prices are still reasonable.

I love this place. If I lived here, I would waste so much money here ;)
This isn’t your normal souvenir shop on Waikiki. It is really an accessories shop that has fashion jewelry, cell phone accessories, hats, wraps, etc…
We got new iPhone covers, a camera tripod, a Hawaiian style necklace and few other things and it was all under $ 20.
It is the shop you go into thinking you don’t need anything and walk out with 10 things!

In our search for «crap» stores (i.e. places to go buy touristy stuff you’ll never use again), we happened about Hamilton. They were excellent and had tons of choices on things you never knew you needed until you saw them.
Prices were super cheap. I think we got a half dozen things and only spent like $ 15.

What an amusing little «made in China» shop that’s quite popular with the Japanese and Canadian tourists (like me, I’m guessing). I bought two cute little bunny pencil cases – one wearing a green shirt and the other a blue shirt – and ear buds shaped like pills and candy – each for around $ 5.99. Talk about perfect gifts around Easter and who knew that I needed these earbuds, after all?
An odd shop as some things like costume jewelry were cheaply made yet 4x the price of forever 21; other things like the pencil cases were somewhat standard in price and the ear buds seemed to be quite cheap (mind you, the first pair that I tried out aren’t really that great).
The stationary and pencil boxes were written in amusing «English» phrases and everything was quite cute. I especially liked the little t-​shirts that came in boxes that were cuter than the actual shirts (very Japanese).
Also, if I hadn’t purchased my Hawaiian fake flowers at the flea market, I could have certainly found some here that were even brighter and tackier than I ever imagined.
Overall, a bizarre little shop where I had to buy a few things just for the sake of buying them. Probably my best find was a cute, little, sparkly, twinkly ornament for my cell phone, because I certainly needed one of those, too. Maybe I’m not a Japanese teenager, but it seems that at times I’d like to be.
I recommend coming here when buying knickknacks and girly things for the girls in your life!

This is the perfect place to get a gift for a friend. It’s the cutest and most adorable store I have been to… in Waikiki. They got everything you would need to get something for a female friend. or male friend who loves cutesy stuff. It’s not too expensive since it is in Waikiki.

We took a mother/​daughter trip to Hawaii, and my 10 year old (nine at the time of our trip) is totally into Kawaii things and squishies. They had a great selection. The store is very cute and a great place to pick up souvenirs. I needed a watch, and picked one up for $ 5.00 just to get by on the trip. Turns out, I really like that watch and it’s now what I wear daily. It’s really a fun place to poke around and the sales staff are very friendly.

I love everything in here. I’m a local and I still visit time to time.
I bought a rose gold anklet with a honu charm, barrel charm, and initial charm for about $ 25! It’s plated to keep it inexpensive. I bought this back in 2008, and I wear it all the time… and in the water too. It has not faded at all!
Love this place and recommend it to everyone visiting Waikiki!

Seriously freaking awesome kitschy, cute, and majorly KAWAIIIIIII goods. Loved it. I came here three times during my five day stay. Their prices are surprisingly reasonable (those foam flowers that are $ 5 at the ABC Store are $ 1.50 here!), and the selection is fantastic.
While this place is a little farther down Kalakaua Ave. than most of the other shopping and the main hotel section, it’s totally worth the trip. You’ll find cute and cool hair accessories, household goods like toothpick holders and animal-​shaped oven mitts, jewelry, cell phone straps, nail art, makeup, lots of other cool gift possibilities, and tons of other fun stuff, too. :)
If you like cute and girly stuff, this is the place to go!

Dear Hamilton Boutique,
I love you, I stayed in Hawaii for 7 days and came here 4 times. This store is so freaking cute and the stuff they have is so unique. This store is mostly for females but I highly recommend the males purchasing items from this store if their woman is into cutesy type things. Most of the items in here are pricey though. A regular white out is a dollar at walmart but here, three dollars because it is shaped like a bear. lol
This store is very clean and organized and the associates are really nice.

hamilton boutique makes me feel like i’m in an adorable store of cuteness in asia.
tons of hair accessories, phone straps, etc.
tshirts, houseware, jewelry. you have to go if you are a girly girl.
CUTE CUTE CUTE HEAVEN!!! =)

If you’re an Asian girly-​girl between the ages of six and thirty-​five, who loves to go «treasure hunting» and get her «kawaii» on, you will definitely find something for you in this store! This boutique is a MISH-​MASH of a wide array of cute and affordable merchandise (mainly knick-​knacks and trinkets) catered to the Japanese tourists. Since I live in Waikiki, I like to browse here pretty often and I always find something that I think would make a great gift. So far, I’ve purchased several things for myself and friends, including a $ 10 pair of sunglasses, a cute doughnut phone strap for $ 3, and a miniature frying pan shaped like a teddy bear’s face for about $ 10. They also sell the typical «tacky tourist» gift items, but who cares about that stuff, right?
Here’s some of the stuff you’ll expect to find:
–kawaii food & dessert phone straps
–unique fashion jewelry (especially love the earrings)
–cute character toys & stationary for kids
–totally blinged-​out handbags, belts, sunglasses, iPhone cases, hair scrunchies, compact mirrors, staplers, etc.
–bling watches
–some clothing: tops, wraps, and maxi dresses
–a section dedicated to 24K gold/​silver jewelries and pricey skincare
–touristy gifts: «Hawaii» items
–etc. etc…

This is our 8+ trip to Hawaii so we really weren’t looking for any more «stuff» to take back home. However, as we strolled along Kalakaua towards Waikiki, we stopped at this little boutique. Many of the things here are for tweens like pencil sharpeners in the shape of a nose where the pencil is sharpened by inserting it into a nostril — so middle school! LOL! We picked up a few cute things for our one and two year old granddaughters — rabbit shaped little purses for Easter for a few dollars each, a tiny hula dancer box, and some Hawaii lanyards for our work ID tags.
Many of the items are merchandised for the Japanese tourist trade and the display signs are in both English and Japanese. The clothing sold here is along the line of «blingy stuff» with tons of sequins and crystal sparkles on them. I saw a particularly lovely wrap to wear with a dress on an evening out. It had peacocks on it and came in purple, tan, or pale pink.
I enjoyed shopping here!

I like to periodically stop by this store! Especially when they have new inventory. They have a variety of gadgets, Nick knacks, stationary products, and accessories. Things u can’t imagine but can find a use for. It’s especially great when u are looking for some cool gifts or small favors. U can actually find things for 99 cents here. There is so much to choose from! Give it a visit if u are heading into Waikiki.

My husband and I came across this little boutique on our honeymoon staycation in Waikiki. We were walking to dinner when we passed by. I kept looking in the window but was reluctant to go in because everything looked so expensive.
He pulled me in and guess what, it’s totally affordable! I got my rabito phone case here for only 8 $ and it’s so much better quality than the ones I see at all the phone places and I even ordered one on amazon that wasn’t nearly as good as the one I got here. I also got a few small phone charms.
This store has so much cute stuff! They have little shops inside too, like jewelry on the left when you walk in.
I wish I could come shop here more often but I’m hardly in Waikiki.

I stumbled upon this store and I was pleasantly surprise. Everything inside is adorable and affordable. They have the cutest pencil cases, hair accessories and keychains.

Tis the season to be shopping. Walking down Kalakaua Avenue, I past by this boutique several times and I was never encouraged to stop in to check the place out. Today, there was a magnetic force pulling my friend and I inside. I was glad that we stopped by.
Hamilton Boutique carries a lot of stuff, A LOT of stuff. It ranges from luggage tags to floral print sundresses to food erasers to nose brush to passport holders to toothpick dispenser. I mean, you could probably find some very useful knick knacks in this store. I’m glad I went into this store. I got some Christmas gifts and Birthday gifts. I also bought a cute $ 10 clutch purse for myself. Ivory color. Love it. The only bad bad thing about this store is the fact that there’s no refunds and the exchange policy is within one week. Sorry, girls, no exchange. So I hope you like the gifts. Even though Hamilton Boutique doesn’t have the best exchange/​refund policy, it’s worth a quick walk through. They have some pretty cute accessories (jewelry, sunglasses, make-​up bags, flip flops, key chains). It’s a perfect tourist boutique.

Hamilton Boutique is located at the beginning of the Waikiki strip, several stores before Hard Rock.
I walked in merely out of curiosity. I thought maybe they would have had some cute clothes in there… Unfortunately, their clothes section is über tiny and I was too overwhelmed by the randomness and placement of everything else to go through it. There’s seriously a lot of stuff in that store! At Hamilton you will find knick-​knacks of all sorts, key chains, hair accessories, flip flops, potpourri, bags, tea sets, decorative pieces, etc.
This is any pack-rat’s dream! A bunch of useful and non-​useful things jam packed in one store!
I do not anticipate going back to Hamilton Boutique. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice store. However, I just don’t see myself needing and/​or using anything from there. But uhh, it’s great for tourists!!!
