The Growing Keiki

Really cute stuff found a hat and sunglasses for my son that I have been looking for forever. Almost didnt buy them because the women working seemed to provide extra attention to everyone else in the store but us… kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.

One word: SUCKER!!!
That’s me. I’ll admit it. This is a cute boutique for keiki’s that has ridiculously overpriced stuff. I went in just to look around and somehow dropped $ 100 on 2 little items; a tshirt for my son and dress for my daughter. See? Sucker.
The lady helping was very lovely, and I saw lots of super cute souvenir items for your kids. You know you want a $ 30 Aloha onesie. ;-) That thing your baby will grow out of in 3 min after they are done vomiting and shitting all over it. YES!
There are Melissa and Doug toys, but seriously, buy those off Amazon for 75% cheaper.
I don’t want to like this place, but I do. I won’t be a frequent shopper, but I’d tell someone to come here and spend all their money.

OMG I am in love with this store. They had tons of great kids and baby stuff. I will definately be returning. Great for a gift for the little one from Hawaii. They have some handmade hawaiian stuff for the kids and they will ship if you need them to. Some of the handmade stuff is a bit on the expensive side.

Super cute little store! Lots of stuff to choose from made by local artisans. A little cramped inside, but they manage to make it work. A little overpriced on some things, but they are mostly pretty unique. Great spot for gift shopping as well. The people were pretty friendly, but felt a bit watched the entire time. Parking is in the back of the store.

Very cute boutique with friendly staff, but for the price of the clothing, I expected organic cotton and made in the US/​Canada or ethically made overseas. The made-​in-​Hawaii clothing was nice, but I found the same items for much less inside a hotel shop (Little People Hawaii inside the Outrigger Hotel).
But biggest con for me was that all sales are final. I purchased a cloth book, but tried to return it after I realized it was made overseas, not in Hawaii. The saleswoman said it was designed by a Hawaiian, but that didn’t justify the $ 40 price tag to me. I tried to return it since I had just purchased it, but she said it was impossible. However, she let me exchange it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything in the amount of time I had to meet my $ 40 credit, so I ended up buying two items and paying even more (about $ 10 more). Sigh.
The good thing is I did support the local economy and a local business. But still. ..

This is my FAVORITE store in Haleiwa. Not only are the items they carry unique and totally amazing, but the workers are just AWESOME! Every time I go in, they recognize me and ask how my kids are doing. I love supporting North Shore shops, but add in personality and a caring heart while I shop — I’m hooked!!!

If you’ve got kids, then you must must must stop by here after eating your shave ice. With a large parking lot right behind the store, you don’t have to search feverishly for parking in this busy little town. This quaint little store houses some typical Hawaiian brands of clothing, but also has local designer favorites. You’ll find handmade baby neck pillows with cute hawaiian prints. My favorite finds are always the unique dresses. These aren’t dresses that you’ll find in Ross or even in Nordstroms. Problem is… they’re kinda expensive at $ 50-​$ 100. Hey… you’re paying for exclusivity and super cute designs.
My favorite for the boys? There’s a cute pipeline shirt that’s always for sale and it looks like someone drew the design on a regular schoolpaper and imprinted it on a shirt. SUPERCUTE and cheap at $ 18.
You’ll also find the most unique toys and gifts. Again, you won’t find these toys at toys r us. Hair accessories, shoes, slippahs, and baby gear are all unique and ridiculously cute.
Definitely «like» them on facebook and sign up for their sales. The BIG sale is usually just a few weeks before Christmas where everything is 50% off. Another sale is coming up in May… not as good as the one at the end of the year but still worth checking out. They used to offer kamaiana discounts but apparently their rent has recently doubled, so they don’t offer any special discounts anymore. =(It was a nice perk. It’s ok… i’ll live.

The cutest little boutique I’ve been in…
I came here searching for the baby k’tan baby carrier. I called beforehand to make sure they had the right size, and they did. When you walk in, you are immediately welcomed by everyone in the store. It’s a bit pricey, but its a boutique… In Haleiwa… So I really wasn’t surprised.
Anyway, back to my search for the baby carrier. The lady showed me the demo and let me practice with a doll, which was awesome since I’ve never used it before. She also told me they had only one on sale, Which is the very one I wanted!!! It’s the breeze version! So I was lucky that they had the color, the style, and the size I wanted! We also spent some time to look around, and they had the cutest onesies for little girls…
I plan on returning with no BF and no kids in tow.

Great for gifts to send to the mainland. Everything is incredibly cute. Boutique pricing.

The people in this place are always so nice and cheery when I walk in, that I can’t help but smile. The store is a cute little boutique type on the North Shore. It has a lot of the children’s versions of the big surf name brands like O’Neill, Billabong, Roxy, etc. They also offer clothing, toys, and baby accessories that are locally made (and super cute!). The items are little more expensive then what you would pay in a large store, but they are unique and are perfect for special occasions and gifts for baby showers.
Don’t plan on buying your entire baby’s wardrobe here (unless you got a lot of money)…but it’s a wonderful place to find something Hawaiian and unique!

Fabulous store! The people who work here are ridiculously sweet and there is a diverse choice of clothing, toys and excellent books to choose from. I highly recommend looking around here if you have a kid to shop for.

4.5 stars
Gosh, if we hadn’t just come back from the Outlet stores in Vegas a week ago I’d probably rate this place 5 stars because it suffers somewhat in comparison to the baby shops on the mainland. Although it’s not fair to judge this store versus the ones in Vegas, I just can’t help comparing.
But one thing you can find here and not on the mainland is the Hawaiian themed attire for infants and toddlers. We were tempted to buy a few until we saw the price tags… $ 38 for such a tiny piece of fabric seemed too much for me, especially since we purchased tons of similar quality clothes for ½ to ¹⁄₃ of that price back in Vegas.
But unless you have free tickets to the mainland, coming here is not a bad idea for baby clothes shopping.

This is THE BEST baby store I have ever been to!
It’s also the MOST EXPENSIVE baby store I have ever been to.
However, if you are looking to gift someone with a truly unique, well made, undeniably thoughtful and super cute present for their child (and you know there’s hella baby parties in Hawaii m’kay!) this is a great place to go. From dolls to dress up, beach wear to baby booties, you will find something you just can’t find easily (if at all) elsewhere. Amazing book selection of truly wonderful Hawaiian style children’s literature, many of whom have won prestigious awards. Wooden puzzles and toys that are destined to be saved for future generations abound. Basically it’s like they transported the finest baby store that caters to the stars and dropped it down in Haleiwa. If this place weren’t this fabulous I’d drop the rating a star due to the prices but you really do get what you pay for and I can’t think of a better place to get a gift for the keikis you really care about. I just wouldn’t plan on shopping there for your own child’s regular wardrobe unless you bleed money. If you DO bleed money, please come by my place for a band-​aid.

This is definitely the best baby store in Oahu. my baby loves all the colors and the toys. We bought her her first bikini there until we went to cholo’s and yeah well… we ended up losing it. but hey it was an excuse to go back and buy her a one piece instead. I am so addicted to that store that several days later I went back with Grandma, Aunty, and Uncle. And they fell in love with the place and bought my daughter a pink hat and sunglasses. And I also ended up buying a Noodle and Boo brush set. They have all sorts of things from bathing suits to children’s books. They don’t sell any furniture though. The owner is soo nice and helpful. And the employees are just friendly.

WOW! What a treasure! The coolest children’s shop in Haleiwa… You will find soo many cute things for your keikis… some are are exclusive the The Growing Keiki… the owner Lee is soooo nice and helpful! It is a pleasure to shop here.
The drive from Honolulu is very quick and beautiful… so do yourself a favor and head out to Haleiwa to check our this great store! It is definitely worth the drive from Honolulu…
Store hours are great. open until 6PM so you can shop then head back to town and miss all that traffic!
