Dolly's Handicrafts is a great shop with a huge inventory and massive selection of items. It is a super fun and entertaining gift shop to buy inexpensive but not cheap looking souvenirs. The shop offers a nice variety of Hawaiian gifts and local stuff at great prices and reasonable cost, with better selection than other areas. Shoppers can find super cheap souvenirs, from small magnets to eatables, dresses, home decor, signs, earrings, bracelets, and much more. It is the place to buy a souvenir, keepsake, or anything Hawaiian. While the shop imports items, it also has a huge selection of local macadamia sweets and other treats. The staff is very nice. Some note the aisles are not wide enough for wheelchair access, which can make seeing some cool things impossible. The shop is located across the street from the famous Hilo Farmers Market, where local vendors sell the same items at more than double the cost. It is definitely worth a stop.
There was a large quantity of relatively inexpensive tourist souvenirs and

Love this store!!! People are nice inside and items are well crafted. Prices are awesome especially on the real puka shell necklaces. $25 is amazing.

This was the cheapest gift shop in Hawaii so far that I found. Such an awesome place! I really loved this store and I wish I could've bought everything lol. Instead of the farmers market, I'd come here cause the prices are great. Lots and lots to choose from and they even sell real frog purses haha.
