Hobby Lobby

Terrible customer service. Purchased a 4^th of July banner. America was misspelled and therefore of no use. Attempted to return/​exchange it. Given that this was only a $ 5 purchase, I did not think it would become such an ordeal. The cashier rejected refunding or exchanging it. She had to call the manager who also rejected the refund or exchange. Unbelievably poor service. This is what service was like in the dark ages. I will never shop here again as there are so many more reputable alternatives. Stay away! Customer service is non existent!!!

This is a Michael’s plus Christian store on steroids.
Lots of home décor, party supplies, thematic items, crafts, religious stuff, etc.
Fully stocked and lots to choose from. Holidays here must be crazy.
I bought a present and card for my pious friend, which was perfect… inexpensive and religious.
However, I couldn’t find a simple «Get Well» card for an agnostic friend.
How uncool is that? Don’t get me wrong. I love religious stuff in general, but don’t make me go to Target for one card especially since most of the things here are 40%-50% off. And besides, agnostic people need love too.
Chatty staff; however, not chatty to costumers but to each other.
Won’t offer to help you.
If you know what you’re looking for and you don’t mind perusing around here then the lack of attentiveness from the workers here shouldn’t bother you. But if you’re hoping to go in and out of here quickly, then Good Luck finding what you’re looking for.
Would I come back? Heck ‘yah! I like perusing and buying religious stuff.
I’m not shy to ask for help.
To be fair, the cashier was nice.

This Hobby Lobby has become my Saturday morning routine errand stop every week now. I absolute love coming to this location. The store is pretty big, the sales are great, and the reason why I didn’t give the store ⁵⁄₅ stars is because the only thing lacking is their customer services. They are really the slowest when checking out. Luckily I enjoy being in the store enough to not let it be such a big problem, but it is definitely something the company needs to work on is a more efficient way to check customers out.

A little disappointing this Hobby Lobby.
So often so much stuff are on 50% off, so this is the real price and not a special sale, they try to scam.
About the plastic flowers, some are totally overpriced and it doesn’t even look like good quality.
In general when we walk in, there is no one to help us. The only time I had to ask someone help, she wasn’t smiling or nice at all.
Finally, workers are very slow.

I just went to this place and it was amazing I found great art supplies and idem I can not ever find at target or walmart I totally think it’s a great place

This location of the Hobby Lobby chain seems more like a Super Store for craft fans. It’s a wonderful environment to shop in, the choice of goodies — especially in the fabric department– is better and more organized than Michael’s or Joanne and the customer service I received from Denise was excellent! She was very knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful. She even was able to give me some ideas for the project I was working on. I’ll be back often!

I agree with others that this store lacks friendly and helpful staff. The cashier also couldn’t explain clearly why they don’t offer teacher discounts. I found out from corporate that the discount is only for direct orders from schools. Cashier was also rude when she mentioned their 40% coupon and asked if I had smart phone. I answered no and she just stared at me. I proceeded to ask if I could please have the discount. She said no, that I had to show the coupon. Michael’s always has a barcode to scan at register to offer customers who don’t have smart phone. They also offer a teacher discount. I will stick to Michael’s. Corporate wasn’t any better. They hid behind their lame policies.

Denise has amazing customer service. This store has everything crafty you need and more. The prices are perfect too. Would highly recommend this store!

My first time to Hobby Lobby and I LOVED IT! The service was exactly like Michaels or JoAnns (they’re there if you need them – and I like that) Found TONS of bargains to hang in my boys bedroom. Can’t wait to go back!

I consider Hobby Lobby a necessary evil. I am not really a crafter but with an 8 and 10 year old you get pulled into the crafting world now and again. Hobby Lobby has a good selection of crafting standards, but don’t expect to find specialty niche items (coil-​less safety pins or large origami paper). Staff is friendly but it’s hit or miss if they know where something in the store is located, some know it up and down others seems like it’s their first day.
They REALLY need to speed up the checkout process though, at least at the Anaheim Hills location. There aren’t any barcodes on items they have to pick the section an item came from and then type in the price, so if an item is not marked God help you! Anyway it makes for a looooong wait while checking out.
Overall my experiences have been pleasant, other than the checkout.

Usually have everything I want here so I was disappointed to find that they didn’t have what I went in looking for that day. Other than that this place is stocked full of many different arts and craft items, I always see items that looks like someone would never need. That’s how stocked this place is, plenty of items and varieties of different things that anyone coming here to look for something should be able to find it. The employees here are quick at the register. There are always sales here as well. The scrap booking items were 50% off and the jewelry making craft items were 50% off too. I ended buying 8 mini glass bottles, few feet of chain, lobster claws, and jump rings. All my items came out to 20 $, pretty good deal.

I came into Hobby Lobby a couple days ago in need of supplies to decorate my child’s teacher’s door for teacher appreciation. I am not crafty at all… but I had a mission and an idea. There were plenty of staff in every aisle and all who I encountered were friendly and asked what I was looking for. It was amazing. I stumbled upon the manager and a staff member in an aisle talking about inventory… But when I came in the aisle the male manager immediately greeted me and asked about my project. He was amazing. He gave me great ideas when I told him my conception. He began going up and down aisles looking for items I could use. All in all… this non crafty person who needs directions to make something… who doesn’t have much original artistry… was guided and mentored by the staff at Hobby Lobby.
I am grateful to the staff here. It is an immense store. Lots of staff busy in the aisles and all busy working. but all are quick to stop and lend a suggestion if needed. The reason why I chose to write this Unilocal review was also to commend an employee named Rose. After I had paid for my supplies, I returned home and didn’t realize until the next day that I had left my wallet in the shopping cart. I have a severe medical condition and had been undergoing 4 hours of daily infusion treatments at the hospital during this time. Without my wallet, a feeling of helplessness began to set in as all my medical cards and medical information were in that wallet… My husband phoned Hobby Lobby. Rose had indeed found the wallet and kept it safe. She had been trying to locate me, but with no phone number contained in the wallet, she could not. But Rose did vow to keep the wallet safe. And she did, not one item from my messy wallet was removed… Not one penny… book of stamps or anything. Rose kept my wallet safe until its owner could be found and I am so very grateful.
Thank you Hobby Lobby for your great ideas, customer service and integrity!

Of course HL is the best craft place ever! BUT. their staff SUCKS!
I didn’t expect anything less than what the typical Anaheim Hills people act like. I came in by myself during a slow time with tons of staff on the floor within eye contact distance and not ONE bothered to greet me or ask if I needed help, since it was my first time inside this location yes it would have been nice for someone to point me in the right direction so I wouldn’t have walked around the entire store.
I love all of the products they have but their staff leaves little to be desired, I’m not sure if it was because I was black and not a white girl, maybe I would have gotten better service. There was lots of staff on the floors talking amongst each other, they would make eye contact with me and then pretend they never saw me.
The only saving grace was a super friendly older employee that rang me up, she was so sweet and nice, I hope she stays that one and doesn’t become corrupted by their bad attitudes.

This was a really interesting store as it was huge and filled with everything and some paint!
Coming to any Hobby Lobby seems to be one in the same as you always find a ton of cool art supply’s and random collectibles that are at decent prices.
They appear to be one of those stores where everything is always on sale or somewhat of a sale or where it’s not really on sale and they make you think it is but at least what you get is generally a good deal.
Pretty much you will find anything here for your arts and crafts needs and other really random items that you just don’t see everyday like the ice cream sandwich!
Before you check out and if you haven already download the Hobby Lobby App and you can get a coupon for a discount off your purchase!
Have fun and be creative!!!

TIN SIGNS galore!!! OMG ^_^
What El Hubby and I though was going to be like Michaels with nothing but Arts and Crafts turned out to be more of a home décor store and WE LOVE IT! There were so many awesome tin signs and home décor, tons of picture frames, arts and crafts some furniture and etc. You will surely find something in your style. El Hubby and I spent a good hour walking around oooohing and aahhhing at so many cool stuff. I’m surprised to find the prices to be very reasonable and most stuff were on sale for 50% off. Heck, it’s way better than Home Goods.
However, we only left with 1 item because we couldn’t agree on what to buy #maritalproblems O_​o. But I will definitely come back by myself and buy a whole bunch of stuff ^_^.

Usually when I come in, people are very kind. However, this is my first opportunity to interact with the store manger, James. He was very rude. I am surprised a Christian organization would hire a person that lacks kindness and care in his job performance. I had a very simple question that a cashier was unable to answer, he came over gave a short answer, then took off before I could ask any questions of him. He then proceeded to talk w another cashier, ignore me, take a phone call then wander around before he would even acknowledge I was waiting to speak to him. (he was well aware I wanted to speak w him, since the cashier who was helping me told him I was).
When he finally deemed me worthy of his attention, he spoke down to me, as if I was lacking intelligence. He was very rude.
Dear hobby lobby… Your manger at Yorba Linda location is in desperate need of training!!! The topic should be, «how to pretend to care, even when you hate your job!» Because obviously he does. If not for the polite staff, I would give this location a negative star!

I had never heard of this Hobby Lobby place until some coworkers suggested we peruse the aisles to get ideas for our makeshift Halloween costumes. So 2 hours later we ended up putting together superhero costumes from random stuff that we found at Hobby Lobby.
I’ll admit, I’m not a full blown crafter. I’m more of an outsourcer. Meaning, sometimes I’d much rather overpay for a chalkboard picture frame than buy everything to make it on my own. But with Pinterest and Hobby Lobby I’m letting loose my inner crafter and making things a bit more personal. Then, at least I can say, «I did it!» rather than, «I can’t get my nails done, but let me show you these pillows that I bought that I could have made for half the cost!»
Anyway, the prices are pretty reasonable because there are always sales and you can Google «Hobby Lobby coupon» and there’s always a 40% off coupon available. Don’t try to double dip, though. You can either use the coupon or get the sale price. Not both.
Beware of the quality of some items. Sometimes the quality isn’t the best and you have to remember that some of the items are not functional, but are just for show.
Oh, and they’re not open on Sundays because they probably go to church with the Chick Fil A people.

Crafter’s Paradise
Big is an understatement
Costco size warehouse full of craft items and décor.
Michael’s should be very worried.

If Michaels and HomeGoods had a baby, its name would be Hobby Lobby.
And it would be one HUGE 15-​pound baby.
This store is amazingly large. Aisles are wide enough to fit 2 carts side by side, but you would have to be a careful driver.
There are no aisle markers anywhere, you would have to ask a staff member everytime where something is. But the difference with Michael’s is that there is always an employee around to help you. I did not even see a button to page an associate for the paint section, she was in the next aisle anyway.
There are so many things to look at here. Aside from craft materials, they have a VERY large selection of home décor and furnishings. Even a «Man Cave» section, if your guy is willing to have it decorated, lol.
Also a good place to look for wedding décor, whether it is DIY or ready-​made. However, they can be a little pricey. Make sure to bring a coupon if it’s regular price. Or download their app.

This is not a hobby store as the name might suggest. It sells mostly home décor, home furnishings, arts and crafts, small furniture items and fabrics.
The store is brightly lit and the displays are colorful. The atmosphere is cheerful and upbeat. There are many staff members present to assist you or to answer your questions. They are all friendly and pleasant. As I browse around, I feel comfortable and welcome.
Most of the home décor and furnishing items are paintings, picture frames (numerous of them), lamps, plants, vases, table wares, among numerous other items. The color of the displays are kaleidoscopic — from dull to radiant, from pastel to blazing bright. Designs range from conservative to bold, traditional to contemporary. The furniture items are classy and cute, although they are probably more decorative than functional.
There are also sections for holiday decorations, such as a Halloween section and a Christmas section. As of this writing, Christmas decorations are on sale. There is also a huge fabric section where you can find numerous selections of fabric both for clothing and home furnishing.
The amazing arrays after arrays of dazzling items are hard to capture in words alone, so I am posting pictures — lots of them — so enjoy!
