Hobby Lobby

Just because you date a product when you put it out on the shelf, doesn’t mean that’s when I bought it.
I purchased some knitting needles that immediately broke upon using them. When I took them back, because I didn’t have the receipt they refused to believe I had purchased them recently and wanted to go by the date on the tag. Which was a year and a half ago. The manager kept pointing at the tag and saying «This says January, 2013.» Yes, that’s when you put them on the shelf, not when I bought them! Finally she offered to exchange them for another pair exactly alike. Why would I want them? They are total crap and break when you knit with them. And you’d think that knitting needles would be good for knitting. That IS what they’re designed for. But like 99% of Hobby Lobby’s merchandise, it’s all cheap crap made in China. I told her to keep them and throw them out, and that I would never be back.
Go to Michael’s instead, it’s a mile or so west in Zona Rosa.

This place offers such a great way to spend a morning or afternoon shopping for fun gifts for family and friends. Because it’s a crafts and arts shop, there’s a ginormous selection of items to choose from. Anything from flowers, to woodwork, to clocks, to metal castings, to puzzles, to bathroom projects…
This place has you covered!
Another nice thing is that there are very often sales that go on in this store. I recently purchased 2 classic soda wall art decorations and 1 living room wall sentiment, and my total cost came to only $ 25! Amazing.
The location of the store is ideal, as it’s located just off Barry Road behind Walmart and Lowes. There’s a massive parking lot it shares with a strip mall. There’s even a library close by, as well as many other little shops/​restaurants so you can park in one place and spend a nice time shopping in many stores while not having to move your car.
I highly recommend checking this place out if you haven’t already!

this place jumps your creative bones!

Great selections with friendly staff

I love Hobby Lobby. When I die I’m coming back and haunting the place. I can walk the aisles all afternoon long. I look at everything. I pick stuff up and examine it, think about it and ultimately put it back but it’s fun to look. Every once in a while I put something in the cart. What I don’t end up putting back I do buy, and usually it doesn’t cost me a lot. The two lamps that resembled big dice and were $ 10 were gone by a subsequent visit. Maybe no great loss. For me it’s overwhelming, and I get all kinds of ideas about doing crafts and making things, but then I have a box at home of craft materials I just never got around to using. So I have to show Hobby Lobby restraint. I’m disappointed they close so early and are closed all day Sunday. I knew that Hobby Lobby was a Christian owned business but when I read that they support anti gay groups I was troubled. I wouldn’t be shopping here again. After some Google research I was glad to find that those claims are unfounded and I am free to shop here! I encourage others to do the same.

So let me get this straight?
Hobby Lobby donates money to Fred Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church? Hobby Lobby? The same store that makes their profit selling glitter and fabric to homosexuals of suspect taste? They donate their profits to the assholes who protest military funerals with «God Hates Fags» signs?
Well you can add me to the list of fags that will spend there money elsewhere.

Hobby Lobby in Kansas City was the first craft store I had ever been in. I’m not a crafter, but damn! I felt like I had been plopped down in a woman’s wonderland of crap to make your house look awesome. You can loose your self in a flurry of crazed visions of potential for neat stuff you can make… of course if you’re smart you’ll get a grip on yourself before you whip out your credit card. The first time I went to Hobby Lobby, we didn’t have any craft stores back home in NJ. I was so happy when I heard we were finally getting a Michael’s craft store… but ultimately I was disappointed because Hobby Lobby is a million times cooler and bigger. That’s not to say that Michael’s isn’t nice, but Hobby Lobby is a Mecca!!! I’m not even going to try to list all the awesome stuff they have. Chances are if you want it, they have it.
