Hobby Lobby

Love coming here! There’s always amazing sales going on. A million things for every holiday. I could spend an entire day there but be careful you might leave with more than you planned lol

Since I recently began crafting, I decided to see what Hobby Lobby was about. They have one a couple of blocks from my son’s therapy and it’s a fun way to kill time while I wait for him. They have huge selections of frames, vintage frames, wedding supplies, scrapbooking accessories. So much more selection than Michael’s. At 1^st, I thought they would be expensive but I was very surprised at the end. After comparing prices I noticed Hobby Lobby has way better deals Except… when you have those awesome coupons Michael’s gives. I will definitely continue to visit here. And I will continue looking for deals. This place is pretty cool and the service is good.

Went back months later and I was amazed on how this store changed. Wow, so many georgus things this time. Awesome variety and the prices were reasonable. They are up there with the value and quality of the merchandise. I’m impressed and certainly will be returning soon.

Teachers beware-​they DO NOT VALUE OUR TIME OR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY– Please take your business to Michaels or Joanne’s — I asked via email and this is the response I received– The rely is the first part and my inquiry is at the bottom– needless to say — I will NOT shop there again.
Hi Amy,
Thank you for contacting us.
The store manager was correct in telling you that our 10% school discount can only be received if you use a check or card issued to the organization.
I will have you removed from our email list as you requested. If you have any more questions or concerns feel free to contact me.

Sadly I will not shop at Hobby Lobby after my last experience at the 131 and Kendall Drive, Miami location. I was told by the cashier and the manager that HL does NOT give discounts to educators without a school check to pay. Now tell me why I should purchase at your store and not Michaels, Joanna, Barnes and Noble or anywhere else where educators are cheerfully and graciously given a 20% discount? If this is not the case, and your manager was incorrect, then please email me that confirmation so I may educate your staff with more kindness and grace then was shown to me. If educators do not get a discount just because of all we do for the community, please remove me from your emailing list and understand that I will copy any replies on to the numerous educator sites that I am a member. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hobby Lobby is a mix of Michael’s and Home Goods and who wouldn’t love that?! There is such a great selection and they always have great sales. One downside I’ve noticed is the seasonal items seem to sell very quickly so you need to shop early to get your hands on the good stuff. They have a great selection of photo frames, as well as cute décor for your office or home. They are closed on Sundays, so save yourself the trip.

Walked in & the first thing I noticed is that the Christmas items are on sale 50% off… In November! That already won me over. Everything is really organized & easy to find. My new favorite craft store, with decent prices

The place itself is fantastic– love all of the décor options. They have frequent, as well as year-​round sales on almost everything, too, as well as online coupons you can scan from your phone.
However, the woman that was running the fabric cutting section on 9÷9÷15 was was in the worst mood of all time. She used dull scissors to cut my fabric, making the ends jagged and frayed. On the second fabric she was cutting, she cut it in a diagonal line. I pointed out that it was cut diagonally and she tried to even the end. I told her that now I wasn’t even getting the half yard of fabric! So she angrily tossed it behind her and cut another piece, AGAIN at an angle but I didn’t say anything else. At least she switched to sharper scissors halfway through. I ended up cutting a bunch of fabric off when I got home. I buy about $ 60 worth of fabric every other month for my business, and I was excited to find this place so close to my home… But I guess I’ll just keep driving to Joann’s where the people actually use the grooves in the table to cut a line instead of «eyeballing» it.

If you have never been this store is just like Michael’s but better! They do have a wider selection and a lot more home devotees ting items. However they are also a lot more expensive than Michael’s. You are very likely to find what you need here but be ready to pay for it

I am someone who loves visiting Michael’s and gawking at all the things I can’t have. At Hobby Lobby, I can actually afford to buy stuff! If you have never been, I would suggest walking right past the centered displays, these aisles are filled with items you don’t «need» and it tends to be the priciest stuff. Venture into the long grass jungle that is the side aisles and you will find treasures!
I was looking for home décor items and scrap booking items. I found TONS of stuff on clearance. Just keep in mind, you need to turn your creative spark on to make the most of this store. For example, I purchased a wooden 4^th of July frame, originally priced at $ 14 for $ 2. All I need to do is apply a fresh coat of a paint, and I have a neutral home frame. I also bought some «summer» stickers for scrap booking which could be used a million ways.
The staff was helpful and attentive. This is not an exaggeration: I spent two hours there and I could only do about half the store. It is overwhelmingly magical! I’m sure a lot of the clearance product changes frequently. They have a large selection of paints, fabrics, flowers, and home décor. Try a DIY project for your next gift. You will have fun making it and the person will cherish it so much more!

I could get lost in here for hours!!! Hours I say! So much selections and ideas. You can’t go wrong. They have just about anything you need for crafts, sewing and painting.
They also have great discounts and sales! They have beautiful décor for the home. So glad they opened this store near my home!

All politics aside:
This place is WALL DECOR GALORE!
I have had great luck finding whatever craft supplies I’ve needed here. I also purchased a dresser for my son’s nursery, and the price was right up there with Pottery Barn’s price for a similar dresser. Pottery Barn had one for $ 1100, and I paid $ 725 for the «like model» at Hobby Lobby. Yes, almost half the price (and still overpriced), but definitely not close to PB quality. I agree with the other posts that have stated that some of the stuff is overpriced for what it actually is. Their fabric selection is nowhere near the size of JoAnn’s, and I personally prefer the quality of Michael’s merchandise over HL’s. The staff isn’t very friendly or helpful. The fact that they are closed on Sunday is a huge inconvenience, considering that I usually do my crafting on the weekends. The line and wait is considerably shorter than Michaels, though.

Hobby Lobby is the child of Michael’s and Homegoods. And it’s enormous. They have everything Michael’s sells plus a bunch of the home «décor» aka crap we don’t need but love to buy (guilty) from Homegoods. Some prices can be outrageous. I saw a little cubby cabinet maybe 18“x12″ haphazardly painted with cheap knobs on the doors for $ 60…on Clearance. What?
Whatever you’re looking for I’m sure you’ll find it here. That and a bunch more you weren’t looking for when you came in.
I can’t stand that they are closed on Sundays. Who has leisure time during the week?

I’ve visited a few times since its grand opening, and though I love a lot of things there, for one reason or another, I haven’t actually purchase anything.
The times I have gone, I haven’t found specific item I was going for (floral wreath and small flag to put in garden) This was back in February, so perhaps that kind of merchandise wasn’t out yet.
During Christmas, I went a few times and saw many ornaments I liked, they were pricey though (they tend to be pricey everywhere), I decided I would come back right after Christmas for the sales but things were gone quite quickly.
I haven’t asked if they take competitor (michaels) coupons, but I am sure they do. The 40% may come in handy, keep those around for your visit.
The reason why I like this store better than Michales, is because there are a lot of cute décor items for the home.
Be sure to check this place out!

Close your eyes and imagine your Pinterest boards… the crafty ones with all the cutesy DIY projects you keep swearing you’re eventually going to get to — eventually. This place is basically Pinterest in real life, or at least it holds absolutely everything one may need to make your crafty dreams a reality. Adorable craft supplies — everything from mason jars, to spools of ribbon, twine, silk flowers, you name it! They have a lot of big sales, however, their sale prices are your average Michaels/Joann’s prices. Definitely worth checking out.

think Michael’s on steroids. that’s what Hobby Lobby is.
they have just about anything for well, hobbies. their after christmas selection was pretty great and it was 80% off today. total score!

Finally got a chance to go today. The place is big but very similar to a Michael’s. I like their variety of holiday décor. However, the cashier was not customer service friendly st all and that is a disappointment. To me customer service makes the shopping experience better. A lot of their stuff is marked 50% off but I think ultimately the price after the discount equals to what the item really cost. Example a mug’s regular price sayid $ 12.99, after the 50% discount it leaves it at around $ 6.50 which is probably the original price. I know that this is a tactic that a lot of stores utilize now a days.

This store is huge and has a ton of products to decorate, make table centerpieces, scrap booking, etc. Right now it’s filled with fall/​Christmas items and it’s beautiful. I noticed they have a lot of discounts which comes In handy with the overpriced stuff. It’s a nice store with nice looking things.

Hobby Lobby is a big chain crafts supply store. Very similar to Michael’s and Jo-​Anne Fabrics, but larger.
I went in search of ribbon for my daughters hair bows and while I was impressed at the prices compared to Michael’s where I usually shop, I learned that you get what you pay for. The quality was poor and not at all comparable to Michael’s ribbon.
Similarly to Michael’s, they always have 40% off coupons available, which really means that everything in the store is severely overpriced, but nearly half the store is constantly marked down 30−50%.
If you’re into cheap, imported from China crap, knock yourself out. I however was really unimpressed, and the fact that they are closed on Sundays doesn’t make anything better. Meh.

This place opened a week ago and I gotta say I love you Hobby Lobby
