I don't care for Hobby Lobby's corporate politics, but the stores are awesome. They're almost indispensible fot crafters and seamstresses, with a higher-end atmosphere than your average craft or fabric store. The selection of holiday decor, party supplies and themed housewares for hosting the perfect holiday banquet or party is superb! Love home decorating? Don't think you can just go in and grab a few items, because it won't happen. You can spend hours wandering through this adult candy store! Prices are very reasonable, and offered in a range for every income bracket. You'll find something beautiful that fits your budget. I enjoy beadwork, and Hobby Lobby has the best selection of crystals that I've found in this state - from cheapstock rhinestones to Swarovski Crystals. It's a jewelry hobbyist's paradise. I just purchased a new home and this was one of my first stops for wall art, candles, art objects, candles and seasonal decor for fall. Hosting your family's Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner? You'll find everything you need for a splendidly decorated tree (they sell the trees too!), exquisite dinnerware and glassware for your table and gifts! Hobby Lobby offers a selection of puzzles and toys, wonderful dollhouse kits and miniature furnishings, craft kits for beginners - everything inder the sun. The fabric selection is small, but quality is equal to specialty shops like Joann's, and Hobby Lobby's prices often beat theirs. It's just plain fun to shop here, or while away a boring day meandering through aisles of exquisite items. read more

You know the scene that is common to movies, where a light shines from heaven when someone walks in somewhere, and angels sing, AHHHHHH-AAAAHHHHHH!!!!, and you know you have entered into the proverbial promised land??!?!?!?......yeah....that's what happens to me EVERY TIME i walk into hobby lobby. i cannot even BEGIN to tell you how much i love this place. I drive from Youngsville (Raleigh area) to get to this place (or the one in Rocky Mount) since we aren't fortunate enough to have one. What is hobby lobby you ask?!?!!? Welllll, let's pretend you threw sunshine, singing angels, Garden Ridge, Joann's, A.C.Moore, Micheal's and a dash of Party City into a blender and poured out a store.....IT WOULD BE HOBBY LOBBY!!!! Now some might say i'm a little biased b/c i worked at a hobby lobby part time when i got out of college....but that was like 10 years ago, so i think my bias is no longer a bias. If anything it gives me knowledge of how to help you enjoy hobby lobby to the hilt! It does not matter what craft or hobby you do, i'm pretty sure they have it here. Here's a list of some of the things they have: Papercrafting, scrapbooking, stained glass, make your own soaps, floral stuff (and they have some of the most beautiful 'fake' flowers and greenery you will see anywhere) sewing stuff, wood crafting, framing, home decor, cake decorating, party supplies, model cars and trains, painting, jewelry crafting, and any and every holiday need you might have.......and that my friends is just scratching the surface! So what tips will make you Hobby Lobby Savvy?! i'm so glad you asked! 1. the owner's of hobby lobby are Christian, as a result they value family time and christian values. For Hobby This translates into two important factors for store hours: a. CLOSED ON SUNDAYS!!! (good for them!) b. CLOSE AT 8 P.M. so that people aren't out all hours of the night working and can spend some time with family. They also tend to close around 5 on a lot of different holidays. So call before you head over if it's a holiday. 2. Hobby Lobby Prices: Hobby Lobby Price tend to be a little high HOWEVER just about EVERYTHING will go on sale about once a month. Sign up for their weekly flier that comes in your e-mail and you can stay on top of what is on sale each week. *IMPORTANT SALE INFORMATION: there are times that things go on sale and it is important to read the flyer. the flyer will ALWAYS list exclusions. A great example are the candles. more often than not when candles go on sale it will say something like 'excludes LEDs and tealights'. I've seen a lot of people get cranky over this one. They's say a tealight is a candle! BUT it's in the exclusion part of the sale flyer, and typically tealights and LED Candles go on sale separate from regular candles. So before you go to the register and act like a donkey and get your panties in a wad, make sure you read the bottom of the sale flyer in the section you're in, it will list exclusions. 3. COUPON! If it's not on sale there is usually a 40% coupon either, in the news paper, in your e-mail, or on their website. AND they will take the coupon off your smart phone, so no need to print it out. Now the catch is one person per coupon per day and if it's already on sale, you can't use the coupon with that item....but personally, i really don't mind going to hobby lobby daily, heck, every time i'm near one, i'll go in just to walk around even if i don't need anything, just to see all the fun sstuff and get craft ideas Alright, I think you are now hobby lobby savvy! GO! HAVE FUN! *angels singing* AAAAAAHHHHH-AAAAAHHHHH! read more

See all

Reminds me of a Michael's on steroids. I felt it was a little pricey and I wasn't able to find any photo albums for less than $15 which was absurd I left the store feeling both overwhelmed and disappointed. read more

I would describe it as a crafts, plus store. Chances are if you are looking for a craft item, you will find it at Hobby Lobby. They stock a plethora of seasonal holiday items. I do not care for their marketing gimmick, but same scheme as most of their competitors. Nearly everything in the store is on-sale 45 - 60% off, not marked that way, but signs stating such. Really...just price it that way without the gimmicks. If you are planning a shopping trip, make sure you go Monday - Saturday. They are closed on Sunday. read more

Another girl that loves, loves, loves Hobby Lobby! It is my favorite place to go to decompress even if I don't need anything. I love to walk up and down every isle just to make sure I don't miss a thing. I love that they are a Christian company and enjoy listening to the store music. It is very relaxing. Sure can't say that about many other places. Also, like the previous post...Almost everything goes on sale at some time of the month and you just have to read the ads. No different than any where else! I think I will go there now!!:) read more
