Creations Unlimited

Immediately upon walk-​in you won’t feel very welcomed in this place. You almost feel like you have intruded? Or did something wrong by the looks and stares. They will either completely ignore you, or stare and make you feel awkward. But once you have gone to this store enough, you won’t take it personal. I still love this store and don’t want it to ever go away! It’s like a paper crafter’s paradise, like what I want my heaven to be like. I have been following this business since they were at Mililani Mauka, so it doesn’t really bother me much.
Paper galore of all shades, colors and textures. Craft supplies of all kinds, and lots of samples to give you great ideas for any type of party planning. I usually know exactly what I’ll need when I stop by, and never a problem finding it here.
They will also give you great ideas on a paper project, just let them know what you have in mind, they will help you until you are satisfied, and will pull all of the supplies you will need! They helped my niece with her wedding invitations, and they worked together with her budget and it came out great.

I’m here. They’re a little secluded in Kilani, but I found it by calling them. As I walked in, they didn’t greet me, but I did mention I was the one that called. There’s 4 friends. They all looked at me like I was stupid and continued talking to each other. So I’m here in their little area typing away while they gossip. Cute stuff tho.

Creations Unlimited is now the only local place that I shop at for my crafting needs!
The shop is always busy with customers; regulars & newbies! Norice now has an extensive collection of handmade instruction sheets/​templates for various Hello Kitty characters, cartoons, cards!
Twice a month a craft class is held, mainly the regulars attend, but I’m sure like me, once you start attending, you won’t want to stop! Classes are normally $ 25, supplies are included with instruction sheets (with sizing, scoring, gluing to the tee!), it’s so worth it and so much fun!

First off I’ll say that the selection was pretty good, they actually have a cute, small letterpress machine they sell which is awesome. The paper selection is great, ranging from a vast variety of colors & textures. Cute little items here and there.
I would have to agree that their customer service isn’t the greatest. I walked in today, no greeting, not much of an acknowledgement that I had came in instead they talk talked amongst themselves. No offer of help or even when I went to pay for my items, the cashier did not say a word whatsoever. I said thank you as I was leaving, and nothing. They need to really improve on their service, and attitude. I wouldn’t come here if it wasn’t it closest craft store near me.
Parking is quite limited as it is shared with other businesses in the Kilani Business Center, there’s a small door on the right to enter through.

i LOVEEEe this shop. When I first started figuring out and designing my own wedding invitations, I was told to go to the competitor, creations by you in town. That didn’t go like how I expected and was WAY more expensive than I expected. I had a cousin who got her invitation supplies from her so I figured, i should check it out…
I was surprised. Small shop hidden in the courthouse building in Wahiawa, filled with ribbon, paper (cardstock and printer paper) and supplies for party favors.
When I first arrived the store owner and employee were busy with a regular customer, which was fine for me so i could peruse and get pumped about doing my invitations. After awhile I think I had slimmed it down to the few paper color selections, and I asked them for their opinion. They offered a great opinion and helped me pick the final cardstock colors for our invitations. As I explained what i was trying to do, Norice, the owner, quickly did what I was describing, marking and folding the paper, then cutting the invitation writing paper, then she went above and beyong and quickly cut out details (cardstock orchids and a monogram with a belt). Within a few minutes she had a completed invitation. I was so impressed! I never asked her to do a sample, but her sample made my idea into a product and I was SOO happy to have someone FINALLY show me EXACTLY what I needed to do.
She had some of the tools there and she even said to not buy her paper cutter but to instead by it from Sams Club, where it was cheaper. How many store owners would tell you to shop somewhere else for what you needed? I bought all the card stock i needed to make my layered and folded card, the heart and various circle hole puncher, and fold-​maker (idk what you call this). I then went to sams club afterwards to buy the paper cutter.
What they have here: cardstock, printer paper, glue, details, ribbons, various hole punchers, hardware, favor boxes, embossers… pretty much everything you need to make a good invitation or diy project.
The ladies here were awesome and the selection quite vast compared to the other places i went to. Their service was above and beyond and I would HIGHLY recommend this place for their quality, quantity of choices, selection of party favor and DIY supplies, tools, and VERY reasonable prices. Doing my invitations here EASILY saved me at least a couple hundred compared to the other DIY supply that turned me away from my ideas or discourage me with their prices. Norice and her staff were INCREDIBLY helpful and I plan on shopping here again. They also have a reward program for every purchase you make!

Totally found this place through Unilocal and although the reviews would probably deter people from making a visit, I went in anyways. It was easy to find, only because I knew I was looking for this place, but wouldn’t have been, because it’s in a business office type of building. It’s a cute little store, with a lot of cute little crafty things. While the reviews are true that no one will probably talk to you at first, even if you’re the only customers, once I asked questions, it was as though they just wanted to show and share all their ideas with me, which was so genuine. Good prices for cute things. I found a Hello Kitty die cut you can’t even find online or anywhere else, because they no longer make them. They said some of their customers request them to bring in things and they do so, so their customers can save money. The ladies there were very helpful and friendly, once they warmed up to my sister and me. Some of their things were even cheaper than some other craft stores. Would definitely check them out again!

I gave this place two stars because of their poor customer service! I only been there a few times now and I noticed that every time I go, I always seem to leave somewhat irritated by such service. As you walk in, you probably won’t be greeted with a «hello» but even if you do, it’s not so sincere. As you walk around the place, it will seem a little uncomfortable as if the ladies are just watching you or honestly they just don’t care that your there. The girl who rung me up and cashed me out for my items had such a poor and stuck up attitude. She didn’t even have a decent smile on her face nor did she say «Thank you» or «Bye». Nothing really sincere.
They do have very cute samples for you to look at and take pictures of. You will be able to pick up ideas from all the cute samples. They even have very cute paper card stock and a wide variety of paper punches. But, don’t expect to get any help from them because they always seem to be doing their own thing. Even if they ask you if you need help or ask you what you are making, don’t expect much.
This place is somewhat disappointing because they have so much potential to be so much better due to the fact they have cute stuff and items that I need to buy.
I would recommend going somewhere else with much better service such as: Photo-​craft, J’s knickknacks, Ben Franklin, etc.

We purchased the boxes for our wedding favors from here. My sister in law accompanied and since it was my first time there, she showed me where the samples were and where the paper for the boxes were. They had a lot of cute samples and a large selection of paper. My sister in law explained that they’ll punch out your box for free with the paper purchase.
We settled on a design first (simple, since it’s DIY and we were folding it ourselves), and then went over the the wall of paper and picked the paper we wanted to use. The transaction was simple enough, and it was only a day or two before I could pick up the punched boxes.
I would come here again since the prices per box came out super cheap, but I have to agree that the customer service was a little lacking. No one offered help when we walked in, so it was a good thing my sister in law was familiar with the place and the process. Otherwise I don’t know how long I would be standing there waiting for help.

Back in the day (sing it Ahmad!), I was a very regular customer at the Mililani location. Norice, the owner, was like an old friend. Although my rubber stamping time has tapered off, I thought I would check out the new Creations Unlimited location in Wahiawa.
Given that the business now operates out of an office space, any customer there has obviously gone out of his/​her way to find it and is doing so with purpose. You would not be walking down the street and randomly decide to go. However, when I entered, absolutely no one greeted me. Norice was sitting down with a woman working on wedding stationery, but I think a simple hello or even a glance in my direction would have been nice.
It was a little uncomfortable to browse, since I almost felt like a trespasser. Eventually a very unfriendly sales associate disinterestedly asked me if I was looking for anything, but by then I was really put off by the whole experience. The prices are high, so I have absolutely no reason to come back or recommend this place to anyone. Very disappointing.

I gave this place two stars based on the cute favors available and the prices are reasonable but the service… horrible. No welcome and no smiling. When I told her my idea, the saleswoman laughed at me. Then the other lady working, who I believe is the owner, talked to me thru the saleswoman. I was standing on the other side of the counter 2ft away and the two ladies talked to each other about my favors being made, and didn’t talk to me! Why do I keep coming back? Get the cutest favors here but be ready deal with an attitude.
