Nice shop with a lot of unique Island souvenirs. Stopped by while on a cruise.

Stopped to look around while in Hilo. Cute little shop with lots to look at. They have a variety of things from clothes, toys, jewelry, dish towels, lotions, chap stick and wind chimes, plus much more unmentioned. Prices are reasonable and the shop was clean. Stop by and take a look, you'll be sure to find some souvenirs here. If you read my review, please hit the like button. Aloha!

Super cute place. They have everything from postcard and hello kitty to Japanese dishes and baggalini bags. Prices are surprisingly okay. The box I got was cheaper than on Amazon. The cute little bear key ring is made out of Japanese fabric and is very well sewn, so I just couldn’t leave with out it. :) They also have some stickers from local artists and nice selection of different postcards.

We visited this area on an excursion from the Crown Princess cruise ship. This store's sign caught my attention during our excursion but didn't have time to shop. When the tour was over, we immediately caught a taxi back there. I'm so happy we did. This store is amazing! The owner is super nice! She helped us find a birthday card & gift to send back to my Dad for his birthday as we would still be on the ship on the day of his birthday. She directed us to the Post office where we could mail it. Have since placed an online order because I can't stop thinking about the things I should have bought while I was there. So many great Hawaiian treasures! Mahalo!

OMG, this store has everything from jewelry to wind chimes and tee-shirts to locally made spices. Everything is well made, interesting, beautiful, and affordable. I spent at least an hour looking at everything and got everyone checked off my gift list. They focus a lot on locally made items (awesome) and have a "Made in Maui" section.

We went shopping here since we arrived from Kona. Stopped by several of the stores to purchase our souvenirs. There were a lot of different shops and galleries along the way. This place is close to the farmers market and several other restaurants .

The owner seems to have some germ phobia going on. They have an offensive sign saying you have to use hand sanitizer 🙄 before shopping. Some of us are allergic to hand sanitizer, so way to discriminate. . . shouldn't your mask be enough to keep you safe? Sheeple gonna sheep though, so we took our money elsewhere and spent it.

Shopping in Hilo Town, Hawaii... I remember the name of this store... I was here decades ago when I was active with the Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce). We would have meetings on the Big Island every so often. After our gatherings, we'd roam around the town! This store still has amusing gifts, practical items, and cute stuff! It has postcards, jewelry, t-shirts, plushies, baby items, children's toys, Aloha shirts, soaps, lotions, books, Hello Kitty merchandise, tote bags, greeting cards, and more! Service is very friendly! The nice lady at the cash register asked me about my Shohei Ohtani shirt... LOL! Note: this store didn't have air conditioning... shucks! However, there's free street parking all around the area!

Long title, but accurate! I cannot resist visiting here when I'm in Hilo. I have a bunch of shopping and food establishments I love in Hilo, but this is my favorite. There's something for everyone, so it's a great place to get gifts. (Don't forget gifts for yourself.) I have multiple pairs of earrings from here. Baby gifts, tee-shirts, wind chimes, jewelry, home decor, toys, personal care products, and much more. They make use of every inch of space. So much fun to look around and too much temptation. They have a discount card so make sure to get one with your purchase and keep the card in your purse or wallet so you don't forget it next time. I constantly forgot mine so now I just keep it in my purse. Parking is in free spaces on the road in front. It's usually not too difficult to get a space unless you're there at a peak time, like a Saturday morning. There are a lot of other nice shops here, several restaurants (including a great Thai place about two blocks away), not to mention the Hilo Farmer's Market nearby. The store was tiny, but the last time I was in, they had just purchased the space next door. It used to be a wood-burning stove shop, if I recall correctly. The space would more than double with this acquisition. Due to COVID-19 I haven't had a chance to get back to see what it's like now but I can't wait.

Cute gift shop for your holiday needs Ranging from T-shirts, bags, hats, lamps, scarves and other cutesy stuff. The lady at the front was super friendly and very helpful. She gave me some great pointers for different shops around town and made some fun small talk. The prices vary but a basic T-shirt will run you about $25.

I love Most Irresistible. I wanted to get a birthday gift for a friend recently and I contacted the store and the owner helped me put together several package of lovely items that she thought my friend would love. She sent me pictures of the items with corresponding prices and made it really easy for me to shop without having to go to the store. She wrapped it up beautifully and delivered it to me. What service! Totally Living Hilo Style!

I have shopped at this store since it first opened around 40+ years ago. I have shopped there less and less because they have fewer interesting items than they used to. Today probably will be the last day I ever go into that store, When I first walked in with a friend, we were greeted and then asked what we were looking for. We stated we were just looking. We were then followed by a male employee asking what he could help us with. Then an older female stood and watched our every move. This was very uncomfortable and insulting as I got the feeling they thought we'd shoplift. My friend is 58 years old and I am 67 years old. We both have good incomes, both drive nice vehicles, and I own my own home. I resent being treated this way and am no longer interested in going into this store.

Didn't open as posted on their front door/entrance. Was there on Sunday 3/31/19 at 1030am. Saw the lights turn on and waited 15mintues, still the door was locked. Tried calling the store, no one answered. Wanted to buy a women's hat that was displayed in the window. So I waited a few more minutes, called a second time, no answer. So I decided to check out gift shops and found a beautiful hat at another store. Very disappointed with THE MOST IRRESISTIBLE SHOP.

Really nice shop to find all sorts of things for gifts. Prices are reasonable, and plenty to choose from.

The name sounds cheesy but the stock was awesome -- beautiful ceramic dishware, unusual jewelry (not the same seashell and kukui nut stuff you see everywhere else), as well as Hawaiian gift items, teas, bath products and the like. This and Basically Books were the two best shops for gifts along the Bayfront. The store had a calm atmosphere and a nice lady at the desk. Don't resist the urge to stop in!

Did my last minute Christmas shopping and found everything I needed. Great place to find stocking stuffers, too. Wonderful friendly service!

Really cute gift shop in Hilo. It's good for for both residents and tourists alike. I really love their soaps and jewelry. The owner is really nice as well and super helpful.

Nice store with some interesting items. Good souvenir stuff. The cashier was friendly and polite. The store was clean and reasonably priced. Eclectic mix of items for sale. Not quite the "most irresistible" shop, but worth a visit.

I live in Hilo & love to go in here to find gifts for friends here & in the mainland. Always have cool, unique stock of items.

It is an irresistible shop jam-packed with goodies! I remember getting a durable, colorful clutch made from recycled plastic, which I carry around me with me in my tote bag. My dentist marveled when she saw me with it. At the most recent visit I saw so many cute, interesting, random things. Fun!

I highly recommend visiting this quaint store located in downtown Hilo.. SO many fun items. Fun local products hand-made in Hawaii, they have everything from jewelry to honey, and the staff is super helpful.

Conveniently located near available street parking, MISH epitomizes the Hilo shopping experience. New owner Tracie has chosen affordable, unique inventory to charm both mainland visitors and locals. Staff are welcoming and have intimate feel for the merchandise since they have worked or shopped there themselves for many years.

This is one of my favorite stores in Hilo. The sales people are very kind and easy to work with. The clothing items they display are beautiful and reasonably priced. I have purchased fives dresses at this store in the past year . . . and enjoy wearing each one of them. They also have a wonderful selection of gift items for friends and family.
