I found everything I needed. I had no idea that your stores carried so many lamps. Different sizes, colors of hardware and woods. I'm pretty sure everything I bought was on sale. The cashiers are very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. It was Christmas and very busy! Whoever was managing was doing a great job! Plenty of cashiers open to help all of the people in line. I honestly thought to myself "UGH!" When I saw all the people and lines but I found exactly what I wanted and didn't wait longer than a couple minutes to check out. I was actually in and out in very good time! My daughter's girlfriend loved her lamp I got her for Christmas. Thank you! read more

See all

I've really appreciated the WIDE variety of items for all seasons. They've also had some amazing sales on items making the trip there worth every penny. I'm a person who likes several different kinds of candles and I was happy to see they had just that! AND for a reasonable price too!! I will have to say I am a sucker for fall decor and I have spent hours looking at all they have to offer. I was happy to see decor was out before September had started, fall deserves more credit! read more

Have purchased many diverse items at H L since it opened. On last visit was told there was a price guarantee on items I purchased since they would be on sale the following week. When I asked for the refund from new sale price, another clerk told me that was not store policy. I had to return the first purchase. Frustrating experience. read more

Since we moved to the Council Bluffs area nearly 10 years ago - I would spend HOURS looking and dreaming at Hobby Lobby, especially since my husband was working evenings and I had nothing to do and didn't know anyone. Employees were friendly and helpful. It was fun because if you wanted something, you could either wait until it went on sale or use the 40% off coupon. If I wanted multiple items, I would be in the store several days in a row to use my coupon. Now the 40% off coupon is gone, I believe the quality is no longer as good as it used to be on many items, and I have to agree with other reviews - employees are actually more than rude! I was going to ask where to find something on a recent trip to Hobby Lobby - there were 3 employees standing in an aisle having a non-work conversation. Since they would not let me through the aisle, I had to go around and was CERTAINLY NOT interested in asking them a work question in fear of what the answer would be. Please, Hobby Lobby - wake up and see how your business is no longer what it used to be and make some changes! read more

Hobby Lobby has a lot of cool stuff, it's not just for people who scrapbook or do crafts. Since my wife does crafts, makes gifts, and does scrap booking, I find myself in Hobby Lobby every couple weeks or so and find something new and cool every time I go. We went a couple days ago and they had this really cool, small bicycle that you place in your garden and it had room for three potted plant- it was just neat. it was probably worth the money at $84 but we didn't want to spend that much on it. All in all, a very cool store that has a lot of hard to find items. The 40% off one item coupon that they always offer on their website definitely helps! read more

I was wrong about this store. The lines are long, plan ahead. The cashiers pull sneaky moves And always ask the person behind you that's been waiting in line the shortest if they would like to be next and then open a register, they will argue with you over an ad that you are both staring at, but their merchandise and sales are unbelievable!!! read more

I went in there to get some fabric for a blanket I'm making and some flowers for another project. I needed some help and I went to go find a worker and I think her name was Emily B. She had a Hobby Lobby uniform on. I asked her for help but she was on her phone and she just rolled her eyes and told me to go find someone else who actually cares. I will never come back. Thank you. read more

This place is a dream come true if you love to craft or decorate! They have the cutest stuff with so many different choices for everything. From decorative signs to scrapbooks to paint accessories and fabric, this place has everything! If you are the crafting type this is your dream come true. They have a daily 40% off coupon that you can use on any regular priced item. Throughout the rest of the store there are discounts on everything daily too up to 50%. You can't go wrong finding items you might need here. On top of all this, the staff is really friendly and very helpful. Oh and there is a framing department that charges reasonable prices for your framing needs. Frames are also always on sale, at least every time I have been, I've gotten a frame at 50% off. Oh they aren't open on Sunday which is nice and a bummer at the same time because I could shop this store everyday. read more

Me Likes Hobby Lobby. For the creative person, or someone trying to be creative- everything can be found here. A few of my favorite things- garden items, home decor, large jewelry section, crafting items, and scrapbooking section.

A couple things I've made - Wedding, Baby shower, and birthday invitations - Center piece decor - Large and canvas paintings - Wreaths- lot of em' - Scrapbooking -Throw pillows Is a religious establishment- that plays religious music over the speaker and sells religious memorabilia. Staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

My wife loves this place. She is there at least 3 times a month,if I took pics of the stuff she buys there, our walls are lined, forget the fact she is planning our Daughters wedding right now so lets go 6 times a month for the last six months, the wedding is still 4 months off, She is hand making bouquets. Don't get me started. She goes in today. comes home and says that was expensive, but she was good. I said let me see the receipt. they charged her $160 for a $16 piece of wood. she took it back to store. Veronica the manager made it right. I called Veronica when the wife got home. I said if I had not pushed it you would have had a extra $140 of our money & you didn't even offer her $5 gift certificate for gas & trouble. she said no & hung up. NOT GOOD BUSINESS! How do you just say oops. This was not a just a couple bucks & our time is worth something too. I guess they hire their managers from McDonalds or their Company doesn't care. My wife may be somewhat of a pushover, But I am not. I have a business & I would not think a mistake of that much would be just ok. I would have given a free oil change or at least a air freshener. I own a shop. Don't buy from them or at least Don't go to this Location. Council Bluffs, Ia. not Cali read more

Been in before and always had great help from the non-management employees. However, this time when I finally found someone to ask for help, I to wait for the conversation to end with their coworker first. When they finally turned to me, she went from smiling with the coworker to a not so friendly face towards me. As I was asking my question I noticed her gold (and not blue) name tag said MANAGER on it! Shouldn't they be the ones setting an example? Glad their employees know better customer service than the management. read more

Love this place, prices can be a bit high but you always find what you need. Great for crafty people, but they also sell a lot of home decor especially Christmas decor. I love their fabric section the most, and the sales are amazing. Things I have made from shopping here: Halloween costumes Tutu's and Tutu dresses Headbands and hair clips for kids and babies. Children's dresses and clothing baby blankets baby items. Cosplay outfits and Time period outfits. Childrens crafts. The list goes on and on... Great store. It is a family owned chain and the staff is wonderful! read more

I will never buy anything from the store that does not respect their customers. The trust has been broken. My story is worthy of a Seinfeld show. I bought 5 cookies a day before Easter. We had a company on Easter and every kid got a cookie! Cardboard, plastic tasting, mud pie texture and color inside with seasonal bitter frosting on the outside. All went into the trash, except one. I needed the sample to take to the store to show the product they sold. The co-manager of the store told me I have to have ALL COOKIES to get the refund on them. At that point he could only give me just one cookie refund. The repetition of the explanation that cookies were horrible and inedible did not work. I did not take the refund on ONE cookie. Let the store make their payroll. They lost my trust, my shopping power. $1.45 cookies multiplied by 5 minus 40% fast sale discount is not worth it if JUSTICE IS NOT SERVED. Very disappointed by the blind policy ONE has to have a cookie to get their $ back. read more
