Hobby Lobby Free Shipping Guide

By: Abby Ruffier

You can always count on Hobby Lobby for steep discounts on crafting supplies and holiday decor. But free shipping? Not so much. The crafting emporium runs free shipping offers about once a month, and they usually last only a day or so. But if you know when to look out for those deals, it could help you save on your next online order. Groupon Coupons did the hard part for you and compiled this guide on everything you need to know about Hobby Lobby free shipping offers. And in between promos, be sure to check out our collection of Hobby Lobby coupons for more ways to save.

When Can You Get Free Shipping at Hobby Lobby?

Hobby Lobby periodically offers free shipping on $50+ orders. There hasn’t been a set pattern, but it’s generally about once a month. You can stay on top of these offers by signing up for Hobby Lobby’s email list. They’ll send you a notification when the free shipping offer is available. You can also keep an eye out for it in the Hobby Lobby weekly ads.

Additionally, Hobby Lobby generally has free shipping offers over major U.S. holidays. In 2024, we expect them to run this promotion for:

• New Year’s Day (1/1–1/2)
• Presidents Day (2/19–2/20)
• Easter (3/30–3/31)
• Mother’s Day (5/11–5/12)
• Memorial Day (5/25–5/27)

• Labor Day (8/31–9/2)
• Black Friday–Cyber Week (11/29–12/2)
• Christmas (12/25–12/26)

Savings Hack: Know when to shop. Use the Hobby Lobby Sales Calendar to follow all the lowest prices all year long.

How Long Do Hobby Lobby’s Free Shipping Promos Typically Last?

All good things must come to an end. You typically have until midnight the day you’re notified of free shipping to take advantage, so act quickly! Free shipping offers that land on a holiday typically run for 48 hours, with the exception of Black Friday. In 2023, Hobby Lobby extended the Black Friday free shipping offer all the way through Cyber Week, which left plenty of time to stock up on holiday decor and Christmas gifts for less.

How Much is Hobby Lobby Shipping?

A higher cart total usually means perks like free shipping, but not at Hobby Lobby. The more you spend, the higher the shipping costs, unfortunately. (That’s why you should snag those free shipping offers when you see them.) Here is the pricing breakdown:
