The Knickknackery Antiques And Collectibles Hawaiiana

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 island.

The very best collection of vintage items, and the owner, Keli’i, knows the story behind each one. You won’t find a better selection or a person who emanates aloha more than Keli’i. He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure every person lucky enough to enter his store has their needs met. You’ll find one-of-a-kind items at every price point and from every decade in last 100 years from Hawaii and beyond. Do not miss this place! One of Hilo’s treasures.

A thoughtful collection of unique items you won't find anywhere else. I loved the old matchbooks and looking at the limited edition copy of Playboy in braille. The owner is wonderful, and has many stories to share if you ask about each item. Definitely recommend visiting this shop!

What a fantastic shop! So many great pieces of quality vintage! Lots of complete sets and nostalgic knickknacks! The furniture is gorgeous and the clothes are in such great condition! I found the perfect Hawaiian vintage shirt! The owner of the store is so sweet, helpful and knowledgeable. It was my first day in Hawaii and he made me feel so welcome and comfortable to be here. I would recommend stopping in here and checking out all of the cool things!
