Hi! My name is Witold (pronounced "vee-told") and I am the founder of BlackerFriday.com. After many years working in corporate america, I decided it was time to take a break to pursue my real passion — helping people save money. Ever since I was a little boy selling pencils in the playground to my kindergarden friends, later collecting aluminum cans from all my neighbors in elementary school to support my baseball card addiction, eventually becoming an eBay Power Seller in my older years to support my college education, I had an eye for spotting deals. I’ve taken what I have learned over the years and built Blacker Friday to bring you the best Black Friday rumors, predictions, and news website. Fortunately I'm not alone in this - We have a great team of dedicated folks helping make this site possible. If you would like to connect with me you can do so on my Linkedin page, on our site’s Facebook page, or write me an email. Thanks for checking us out and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hobby Lobby Black Friday 2025 Sale – The Ad is Posted!

Updated on Sunday, November 23, 2025: Hobby Lobby’s Black Friday sale is officially live, and as expected, the store is offering a full week of discounts focused heavily on Christmas décor, crafting essentials, framing, and home accents. Below is a rundown of the confirmed sale dates, what’s included, and the types of deals you can expect to find both in-store and online this week.


When Is Hobby Lobby’s Black Friday 2025 Sale Happening?

Hobby Lobby’s Black Friday deals begin online today, Sunday, November 23, 2025, and run through Saturday, November 29, 2025. If you prefer to shop in person, the in-store sale starts Monday, November 24 and runs through the same end date.

Stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, but will reopen with extended hours on Friday and Saturday (8 a.m. to 9 p.m.), giving shoppers more time to browse without the normal weekend rush. As usual, Hobby Lobby’s sale follows their standard weekly format, meaning the discounts listed are valid all week long, while supplies last.


What to Expect From the Sale

This year’s Black Friday lineup continues the store’s tradition of heavy holiday discounts. Nearly every category related to Christmas décor, floral, and tableware is marked down by 50%, including trees up to 12 feet tall. You’ll also find notable savings on crafting staples, home décor, framing services, and hobby supplies.

If you’re planning holiday decorating or DIY projects, stocking up now will make a noticeable difference. The biggest markdowns generally involve Christmas items and custom frames, followed by discounts on arts, crafts, fabric, and decorative home goods.
