Peggy’s Picks

I really like to pop into Peggy’s Picks to see what treasures she has. I didn’t buy anything this time around but it’s rare I walk out of there with nothing. Generally, I buy something wood, carved, and from places far. I love the random selection. Peggy is also an interesting person to chat with and her staff is very helpful and friendly. Check it out!

i drive by all the time. i have stopped in 3 times. Every time my impression is over priced junk.

I love Peggy’s Picks. They have a little bit of everything. Peggy is a sweetheart and her staff is extremely helpful. I love stones, antiques, and little wood carvings. She has a bunch of all that plus things you couldn’t even think of till you see it in there. Very cool place, I visit there once a week to look for any new things I may fall in love with. Thanks Peggy’s picks for being awesome ;))

This is one of my favorite little shops in town. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch Peggy while she’s there and talk up a storm. I’m not quite sure how to categorize this place. Antique store? But not everything is dated. Eclectic? Yes. There’s a wonderful array of jewelry up front. Also, a great collection of items for the home from cabinets, to chopsticks, to paintings. I’ve found that all, if not most, items are very reasonably priced compared to that of similar stores found on the mainland.
A lot of the other reviewers have mentioned feeling as if they were being «followed» around the store as if they were «criminals.» I do not believe this is their intention at all. The staff is very knowledgeable regarding the items: where it originated from, the artist, etc. so they are trying to help your shopping experience by almost giving a guided tour. Also, when they ask if they can hold an item for you up front, it’s not because they think you’re going to steal it, the store is very small and cramped. They want to give you a better ease of shopping, so that you don’t have to worry about knocking anything over.

We walked in to listen to the owner chew out her staff for asking for time off.
She didn’t seem very nice and her staff seemed pretty embarassed. Walking around, most of the stuff seemed overpriced and marginal quality. My sweetie felt like he was being followed around and finally left the store.

This great little store is packed full of all sorts and sizes of «treasures» — mostly antiques and other ‘pre-​owned’ :-) items, I think, but there’re small, more modern things mixed in as well. The store’s wares cover kitchenware, kitsch and gifts and ornaments, clothes — including a small but surprisingly robust selection of $ 25 aloha shirts in the back — jewelry, and numerous other things, all stacked on wonderfully overflowing shelves and pouring from overstuffed cabinets. The staff is very friendly, and I thought the prices seemed to be great.

Cute little spot filled with treasures. From a button cup to a selection of art pieces & vintage handbags you could probably find something every time you stepped in. However, it wasn’t a very nice feeling being treated like a criminal. Just because we maybe «locals» & may look like we are from a younger generation it does not mean we don’t have money or that we need to steal things from your little shop. Being spoken to in a rude tone implying we did not belong in your establishment and being followed around as though you are taking mental inventory each time we left an area doesn’t exactly give off the welcoming feeling that would make me want to give you my hard earned money or recommend your business to friends or family, let alone ever come back. Pretty disappointed the experience wasn’t a good one since I had always wanted to visit this store.

What a wonderful shop! Something for everyone. Unique antiques and friendly staff. A must see in Hawaii!

Peggy’s is an adorable place that’s extremely crowded n the best way. Yes, it’s a second hand shop, but I must politely disagree with folks who say that it’s either cheap or expensive. It all depends on what you want. Like any second hand shop, things are always moving and changing. You have to spend time looking around in order to benefit from all it has to offer. I stop in a few times a month.
I do agree that one of the ladies follows you around a little too much and is always offering to hold your stuff even when it’s small. But I’m sure the theft rate is high because the shop is so crammed full of stuff in a tiny little place. Can’t blame them.

I am so in love with this place. The service and the items sold are truly one of a kind. As I mentioned before in my tips, I prefer to come here to purchase souvenirs as most of the items are unique and/​or one of a kind items. Also, a lot of the items are made locally which is super important to me as I didn’t want cheap, mass produced items that can be found in the swapmeets of Waikiki or at wholesale on eBay.
Also, the staff is super friendly! They take their time to help you find the right items as well as give you tips on where to go around the island. I feel as if I get so much value from my time spent in the store and HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to anyone in the vicinity.

Went hunting for vintage silverware and hit the jack pot here!

Beautiful place! fun items, great people. Peggy has it all going for her! With the International Market Place going down THIS is the place nearest Waikiki for fun and funky gifts! We live here and have many of her cool things decorating our home. Don’t miss out!

I’ve been searching far and wide for a good place to purchase affordable, unique earrings – and then I saw it on Kapahulu avenue like a beacon of light. Their earrings are $ 6-​$ 9 a pair and are just my style. They also sell furniture and a bunch of random knickknacks as well as other types of jewelry – necklaces, bracelets, rings. I could’ve spent well over an hour looking through everything, but my wallet and my boyfriend were thankful I didn’t.

I’ve drove past this store many times in the past, but I’ve never stopped dues to the limited parking for this store. I finally decided to stop yesterday because I needed to find a gift for someone. Overall, I have to say that the store’s selection of antiques was rather disappointing. I didn’t see anything that was more than 20 years old.
On the other hand, they did have a pretty good selection of Hawaiiana items, some statues of Buddha and some Indian gods, some bags, ladies jewelry, salt and pepper shakers, some aloha wear, and some miscellaneous items.
The only reason why I’ve given this store a high star rating because the owner and her staff are very friendly and helpful. If I was looking for some salt and pepper shakers, or any of the items that I’ve listed above, I’m sure to return to this store,

Just decided to stop in and check out this store… It looked interesting and had time to kill. Well its very crowded… even if nobody is in there… it was stuffy… no air circulation… and there were people in there… hard to get around… was scared I’d knock something over… In a nutshell it is a very unique shop with things you might not see in many other stores but also… its kind of like a garage sale… but with the nicer things you might see. If you like unique finds or unusual treasures… I’d say check it out… You just might find what you are looking for here. Unfortunately I did not find anything for me here…

Trendy rings, some bags, some jewelry are cheap but other things are just overpriced junk.
If you are not familiar with Asian products, you might think this place is a great find, but if you are from the Northwest, these junk are everywhere. It should not cost $ 2 for a red envelope when you can buy a whole set of 10 envelopes for $ 1 elsewhere.
If you’re bored go in browse around it’s fun but don’t get tricked into buying stuff you can find at a better price elsewhere.

I came here one day after a girlfriend of mine raved about the cute second hand and antique finds. Well, I came here and all I saw was new-​ish looking, expensive, Hawaiian-​esque decorations. I was a little let down. :/
According to a lot of reviews, there are inexpensive gifts and cute décor finds, so maybe I just came on a bad day? It seemed like the décor I did find was expensive and I could have bought it at Target. When I went, I just didn’t find much of value, and I am an avid antiquer.
Maybe I will give it another try and see…

If you are looking for different artifacts or art pieces to place in your house then look no further.
Peggy’s Picks is a great place. It will take about an hour to view everything in the store (there is a lot).
I actually met Peggy about six years ago. She travels around the world bringing back artifacts and specialty items to place in her store.
Go in — browse — Cool people work there.

Looking for gifts that are interesting and reasonable look here first. This shop is a mix between thrift, gift, and furniture. I realized that most of the shelves and cabinets that display jewelry and art are also for sale. These unique items are found world wide and brought into Peggys at a great price. I love the jewelry especially around Christmas time when I am stressing out on shopping.
It is a small cluttered store but take the time to really look for that one treasure, if you don’t find what your looking for, it would at least be like a little museum trip.
The employees are very helpful to me when ever I go in. They are also patient when I want to look through the display cases for gift jewelry, I never feel rushed or like I am inconveniencing them by wanting to see multiple items.

I was introduced to Peggy’s Picks by my girlfriend Nicole when I was looking for sari’s for my bridesmaids for my wedding.
While I didn’t buy my saris from there, I bought a bunch of really neat, non-​traditional and unique gifts for all of my bridesmaids.
The quaint, tiny and overcrowded store is a dream come true for me. I enjoy spending an hour or so simply perusing through EVERYTHING that Peggy has ALL over the place. Imagine every nook and cranny filled with tables, chairs, accessories, jewelry, clothing, mirrors, etc.
Our home is pretty much filled with items from Peggy’s Picks… and they’ve all been a steal for amazing items! (if I do say so myself!)
My 5-​year old also enjoys perusing through the store as it has a ton of items at her eye-​level and below… perfect for her to get her hands on and want for herself.
Even my hubby digs this place. It’s definitely charming and eclectic and one of those stores that I wish we had a hundred more of here in Honolulu.
