Hobby lobby is a love hate relationship for me. I bought slime and wanted to return it. It was two…read moredays since I had gotten it. I went into the store w the receipt and slime and they said they couldn't find it in their system on their iPad. A manager-looking woman came over and said she would go back to the aisle and look. When she came back she said I couldn't return it because it wasn't a product in the store. At this point my blood was a simmer. I say "here's the receipt, here's the slime. It clearly looks like your product. Whether or not you have it come up isn't my problem" The manager looking lady doesn't care and reiterates that if they can't find it, I cannot return it. I decide to go back myself. Imagine the surprise when I go back and find it! This wasn't the first time I had a hassle w returns. They have an old system and they don't take electronic payments. it's just kind of wonky how they do everything at that store. Hence the love-hate relationship! I go shopping at the store sporadically, only because they do have nice things.

I love this store. They always have the cutest decor and staff has always been friendly. The only…read morething I think is ridiculous is they do not honor first responders or military personnel with a discount. This isn't the locations fault but the company's fault! It's a little odd that they sell a variety of patriotic and military career themed decor but then don't offer service (wo)men a discount.

This is a small but adorable toy store with unique stuffed toys, stickers, notebooks, pins, and…read moreother merchandise. I can't believe there wasn't a listing already. This place is...well, delightful! Prices seem high, but are more or less comparable to what you'd find online, and you also know what you're getting here. No surprise smells, iffy stitching, or insufficient stuffing. It's near Pulp 716 and Spiritually Rooted and a bunch of other shops, each filling a different niche. No wonder the area was hopping today. Not only is the Delightful Octopus is a great addition to downtown North Tonawanda, the general area seems a lot livelier since my last visit at least a couple years ago. It won't be so long before my next visit. Our son loves his squeezable rainbow hamster.

I do not recommend this shop. I hate to be rude to a small business but I honestly feel there are…read morejust better family owned businesses to support. I would like to say this as delectably as possible but the shop smells awful, the whole shop smells like urine and dog which I feel is very off putting for a shop that sell plush items that can lock in smells. Another thing I find off putting is the prices, the shop is priced very high and the owner will say that this is because they are a small business but most of their items are work stolen from other artist and clearly drop shipped. Another issue with this shop is the owners are very rude and I have witness them treat customers very harshly due to honest feedback. I do not recommend this shop in the slightest.

I think Michael's needs a redo / update. But with retail stores not surviving, I don't know that…read morethat's going to happen. It feels very old fashioned in esthetic is the best way to put it. Even more so, they offer a section for bday parties, which I think is nice for crafters, but it really lacked the luster I would want if I was hosting a bday here, adult or especially child. I did like the selection of Halloween stuff. There's traditional black and orange, there's more girly and modern stuff, and there was a section for black and deep purples they were starting to put up. Another nice thing is they had plenty of registers, including self-checkout AND people working their own registers.

If it's one store I LOVE going to , it's Michael's !!…read more But, it was a shock when I went to where they were supposed to be & I saw the sign gone & nothing inside. Sooo, I turned to "Siri" and asked where Michael's was & it was down,a little over a mile further . It was right past the Amherst Buffet parking lot (yes,that's what I refer to it as,lol), and in the plaza where Trader Joe's is. It's way in the back of Trader Joe's lot. Easy enough to see when you're driving down Niagara Falls Boulevard. The new location is more spacious, cleaner & it seemed like it had more products. I , of course wanted to but everything I saw, but we went there for 1 thing, which they didn't end up having. I ended up getting something anyways (hehehehe), & they were cheap, which is why Jim bought them for me. =D. (I always make him spend too much $$) So, it's a very nice store, large selection, neat & clean, Nice employees, but of course,crazy expensive! I do mean crazy EXPENSIVE for most things. Otherwise, if you need stuff for almost any kind of "crafty" project, they probably have it.
