The Knickknackery Antiques And Collectibles Hawaiiana — Local services in Hawaii

10/10 experience! Keli‘i, the owner, is the reason so many people keep coming back. My boyfriend visited his shop back in September and made it clear we had to stop by once I finally made it to Hilo—and I’m so glad we did. The shop is full of fun, unique trinkets, hand curated by Keli‘i himself. He knows the story behind every single one. When we visited, he was hand weaving bracelets and making leis right there in the shop—you could really see the care and effort he puts into his artistry and into creating such a welcoming space. Nothing compares to the hospitality you’ll receive from this warm and generous Hawaiian native. His passion and knowledge make the experience unforgettable. I can’t recommend this place enough—it’s an absolute must stop when you’re in Hilo! I already can’t wait to go back and visit again when we return...

To the tourists coming here to visit Old Hawaii and love real Hawaiiana and vintage Nipon items, to new transplants looking to furnish vintage homes, to long-time residents who enjoy decor that invokes childhood memories - this place is for us! Outfit your home to look like an episode of "I Love Lucy - Don Ho Episode". (There's no such thing, but if there WERE.....). Such a great shop. And the owners are SO knowledgeable about the items they sell, you'll end up with a fun history lesson AND an awesome keepsake or gift. I love this unique shop,...

My wife and I happened upon this beautiful shop while browsing Hilo and we're so glad we did. The owner was incredibly gracious and kind and gave us some different types of lei flowers he was using to make necklaces. He shared with us about various pieces we were looking at and has been collecting antiques since he was a child - The passion really shows. There were many unique and lovely pieces of furniture, artwork, and collectibles and everything is well laid out. Cannot recommend this...
