10 Of The Best Things To Buy At Hobby Lobby (And Tips To Save You Money)
Get inspired with Hobby Lobby home accents, furniture, and seasonal and Christmas decor—your go-to for decorating ideas for the home.
I have been shopping at Hobby Lobby for as long as I can remember. I remember the first day I ever set foot inside the store. I felt like I entered Santa’s workshop.
I think I stood frozen for a few seconds trying to grasp what all I was seeing.
You want farmhouse decor? Hobby Lobby has it. You want modern decor? Has that too. Want some eclectic decor? Aisle 5. Need some deer antlers? Walk to the back of the store.
I can go on and on.
If you are looking for anything home decor related or craft related, Hobby Lobby will be your best friend. I’ll list some of my tried and true purchases, the things I always look for and things I have purchased and loved.
I will also show you how to save some big bucks at Hobby Lobby. So make sure to read this whole post. I mean it.
Hobby Lobby Lighting
One of my favorite things to buy to make my home feel cozy is lighting. If you know me, then you should already know this.
Hobby Lobby has a great selection of table lamps.
And some can pass as more expensive versions of designer dupes
Baskets at Hobby Lobby
I love baskets as much as I love pillows and Hobby Lobby always has the best baskets. Not only do I love their baskets in their basket section that is always out year round, but every season they add in their seasonal baskets and those are always my favorites.
And their seasonal items are always 40% off…until they go on clearance
This year, dough bowls were out in full force at Hobby Lobby.
I’ve never seen so many dough bowls
Furniture at Hobby Lobby
You might not think about purchasing any of your furniture at Hobby Lobby but you really should. Their furniture selection changes often and sometimes with the seasons too.
Always keep your eyes out for furniture in random places.
They really do have some of the cutest accent furniture there. It changes often too so if you see something you love, get it before it’s gone for good.
(And keep reading to see how you can save more money on furniture. I know, the suspense is killing you)
Fabric at Hobby Lobby
Fabric is my favorite to purchase at Hobby Lobby. They have all kinds of fabric at Hobby Lobby but obviously my favorite fabric to look for is their home decor fabric.
Or any fabric that I can turn into a pillow or curtains. A long while ago, I made no sew curtains for my dining room with fabric I found at Hobby Lobby
(Notice the baskets on the wall again? Yep, those are from Hobby Lobby)
I personally feel that Hobby Lobby has a better selection of fabric than most fabric stores.
Fake flowers and trees at Hobby Lobby
Another one of my all time favorites to buy at Hobby Lobby. I cannot say enough good things about their faux trees they have. I most recently put their 4ft (I think) faux olive tree on my (covered) front porch.
It was just what I wanted for out there.
Their faux florals are just as amazing. I get all of my seasonal florals there too since they are almost identical to the more expensive designer florals.
They also have some flowers that are more on the expensive side but man do they look and feel real.
These are my favorite florals I get there. I love them because I can keep them out year round.
Mirrors and wall decor at Hobby Lobby
My favorite mirror I have ever purchased was from Hobby Lobby. This mirror was also the heaviest mirror I have ever carried out of a store…with a child in tow. But it was so worth it.
I have purchased a few other mirrors from Hobby Lobby but I’ve been eyeing these mirrors for a while now.
And they have a ton of artwork. Here are few recent favorites.
And I absolutely love these.
Accessories (and the other stuff)
I can spend hours and days inside of Hobby Lobby. There is so much stuff in that store. So.much.stuff. But in a really good way. I never recommend just running in to get one thing. You can never just run in and run out.
It doesn’t happen
Vases and planters and little knicky knack things are everywhere.
Their planters are some of my favorites too.
I have purchased alot of their planters because they are so good and such a good price (even though they are excluded from any sales)
I recently just purchased a few new planters for my front porch!
I found my coir rug I have on my front porch here too
Kids Bedroom Decor
I love these little sections they have for kids bedroom decor. I decorated my daughter’s bedroom with lots of stuff from this aisle.
Kitchen accessories
I also love to go through this section every few months. They usually change this around seasonally so if you are looking for placemats or tablecloths, check out Hob Lob
Seasonal (and Christmas) decor
(I wrote a whole blog post about Christmas decor at Hobby Lobby. You can read it here)
This is a no brainer. Hobby Lobby starts putting out their Christmas decor in July. But they do have the best selection of Christmas decor.
Their seasonal florals are great
And even their Christmas trees
I got my Christmas tree there years ago.
Tips to save money at Hobby Lobby
Never pay full price
Never ever should you pay full price for anything when you go to Hobby Lobby (unless what you are purchasing is excluded from any sales or coupons).
Here’s my top secret for you if you don’t already know this….if you find an item you love and it’s not on sale (50% off) you can wait until the following week when it will be on sale. Hobby Lobby alternates their sales every week. What’s not on sale this week will be on sale next week.
I created this Sales Schedule for you to follow as well.
Buy fabric in bulk
Unless I 100% know what I am doing with my fabric, I usually always purchase 3 yards of fabric at a time. I do this with the mind set that if I decide to turn the fabric into curtains I will have enough for at least one panel. Since you can use your coupon for up to 10 yards it makes sense to get as much as you can for your project using a 40% off coupon.
Buy in store if you can
Every once in a while, Hobby Lobby offers free shipping over a certain dollar amount online. Usually shipping is not free so if you have a store near you, then I definitely recommend shopping in store only. Years back, I did purchase something from Hobby Lobby online and I wasn’t able to return it in store. I was going to have to pay for shipping to return it via mail. I am not sure if that policy has changed but I have never purchased anything online from them. I’m fortunate to have a store near me.
Twice a year home accents clearance
Twice a year Hobby Lobby does their home accents clearance when they need to make room for some new merchandise. They usually have a clearance in January and then in July. Alot of their items can be marked down to practically nothing.
Holiday clearance is best timed right after the event: Valentine’s, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all see steep markdowns in the week following.
Check the clearance wall
There is always a clearance wall at Hobby Lobby and sometimes there is some good stuff on that wall. Try to find it at your store and make sure to check back every now and then to see what’s there.
Now, get your purse and go head to a Hobby Lobby
