Toys and stuff, yay!…read more This place was a joy to browse in, and definitely worth a look if you're in the area. The cabinets on all the walls are full of toys, oddities, and apparel from all over the world. There's a room for coats and clothes, a small but nice selection of furry slippers and shoes, and there's a lovely table right in the middle with all kinds of jewelry, rings, bracelets, etc. There's a whole room in the back dedicated to South American stuff as well. My favorite part? The toys of course! Right when you enter the store, you're greeted by a cheery standing rack full of cuddly, furry animal hand puppets of all kinds, that just call out to be tried on and played with. Further in the back there are racks of respective finger puppets, and shelves full of pretty little beaded and wooden figures - both doll house types and these awesome string-controlled wooden puppets (not quite marionettes, since they're controlled from underneath). There was this awesome pair of scissors shaped like a bird, with the blades in the shape of a beak. I wish I had taken a picture of it, but oh well. Overall, the prices are very reasonable, especially some of the coats and clothing. Some of the small toys were a little too high in my opinion though. I mean, who in their right mind wants to pay five bucks for a tiny wooden flowerpot smaller than a pinky joint? Come on. The jewelry was very affordable though, and I bought myself a pretty silver ring as a souvenir for five bucks. Five bucks, you say? Aw shucks, I coulda gotten that flowerpot.

This is the sort of location that if i had unlimited funds i would buy half of what they had…read more Sometimes on limited funds its hard to justify paying $85 for a shirt or $100 for earrings. Still i think that the value of purchasing items that are from this location out weight the prices. Set in downtown Peterborough next to the Sharon Art center this location couldn't be better for this store. I equate this location to a 10,000 villages which I have come to love over the years. I would say best for there selection in jewelry, i don't see a ton of people paying their prices for clothing.

Not impressed one bit…read more... I looked into this business as a local option over driving 30+ minutes to the nearest Goodwill. I called the day before as the only web listing to this business was through Facebook. The answering machine gave me a fast idea of hours. I finaly came across a web site though Facebook. Well the answering machine and website had different hours. I ended up messaging them through Facebook to clairify the hours. Following morning I got there some twenty minutes after they were suppose to open. CLOSED. No note on the door about running late just CLOSED. I messaged them again... here some 6hours later no reply back. Not impressed. The only reason I can see for not opening when listed, is they must have really high prices to afford not to open one advertised. Parking is not the easiest. It is at a busy intersection with on street parking. I highly recommend making the drive to some big name store where you know they will be open and not hold hours of convenience.

Avoid this horrific business and its unprofessional owner at all costs. We left thousands of…read moredollars worth of jewellery in their care for repairs and experienced WEEKS of delays, outright lies, inability to track or trace where our precious pieces actually physically were (there's no computer system, no recorded phone interactions- just hand scribbled notes in poor penmanship & employees who aren't appropriately trained and left confused), and unfinished work. When my husband reached out for the 10th time today Jacqui was atrocious to him- we told her we were no longer comfortable with them handling the order, they aren't trustworthy, and we just wanted to come pick up our jewellery. Jacqui told us that Hobbs has 'been in business for 61 years' and that we'd get it when we get it, and then HUNG UP on my husband. After going down in person to the store we were finally forced to get the Peterborough Police Department involved today. It was only under the threat of us pressing charges for felony theft that the owner finally produced my rings. They were at an offsite jewellers 45 minutes away, she had to send an employee to go get them, and the order hadn't even been started... despite being in their possession for weeks. Jacqueline can have her friends post fake glowing reviews all she wants, but they won't drown out authentic customer experiences. The only reason they continue to remain in business after "61 years" is because they have no google listing or reviews, no public facebook reviews, no registration with the Better Business Bureau, and therefore no louder way for us members of the public to warn each other about their disgusting business practices. As much as we all want to 'support local,' RUN AWAY from this place.
