Craft Warehouse Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Leave a comment

Craft Warehouse doesn’t run sales as frequently or as aggressively as some of the big national chains, which is why their Black Friday event really stands out. If you’re into crafting, art, seasonal decorating, or just need some unique gifts, this sale is usually worth the trip.

So if you’re planning your Black Friday game plan—or just wondering if it’s worth stopping by—here’s what to expect, when to shop, what kinds of deals are likely, and a look back at some of the more notable items from last year’s event.

When Is the 2025 Craft Warehouse Black Friday Sale?

Historically, Craft Warehouse runs its Black Friday Sale as a three-day event, starting on Black Friday itself and continuing through the weekend. For 2025, that means you can expect the sale to run from Friday, November 28 to Sunday, November 30, 2025.

Doors usually open at 8:00 AM on Friday, which is when the best deals and doorbusters are available. It’s not uncommon for shoppers to start lining up early, especially if there’s a limited free gift or hot-ticket item on their list.

The store hours for Saturday and Sunday tend to be normal, but it’s always worth checking your local store’s schedule in case there are variations.

The Black Friday Ad: What It Looks Like

Each year, Craft Warehouse releases a physical and digital Black Friday ad, and it typically ranges from 8 to 12 pages. It’s not as massive as the ones from big-box retailers, but it’s dense with offers—both on specific items and storewide savings through coupons.

If you’re planning to make a trip, it’s smart to review the ad ahead of time. It gives you a good sense of what’s featured, and more importantly, what to prioritize before things sell out.

The Coupons: What You Can Expect

Besides the featured deals in the ad, Craft Warehouse usually includes some high-value coupons—these are a big part of the sale.

  • Friday, November 28: You can expect to find a 50% off coupon for any one regularly priced item. This has been a consistent offer in previous years, and it’s typically only good on that day.

  • Saturday and Sunday (Nov. 29–30): The coupon shifts to 30% off one regular-priced item, which is still decent, especially for items that aren’t part of the advertised sales.

These coupons can usually be used on a wide range of items, with just a few standard exclusions (like clearance, Doorbusters, or gift cards). If you’ve been eyeing something specific that doesn’t normally go on sale, this is a good opportunity.

Free Gift with Purchase

Craft Warehouse has a tradition of offering a free gift with a minimum purchase during Black Friday weekend.

  • In 2024, they gave away a free felt bag with any $50 purchase. The deal was “while supplies last,” so if you wanted it, shopping earlier in the day was key.

  • It’s likely we’ll see a similar offer in 2025—perhaps another type of seasonal tote, craft tool, or small décor item with a similar spend threshold.

Again, details will be in the ad when it drops, but these freebie promotions tend to go fast.

Types of Deals to Expect

Craft Warehouse’s Black Friday deals typically fall into a few categories: holiday décor, art supplies, DIY kits, gift items, and crafting accessories. The discounts are real—not just minor markdowns—with plenty of items being 40% to 60% off, and some even better.

Here’s a breakdown of what you’re likely to see based on past patterns:

1. Holiday Decorations

Expect a wide range of seasonal décor to be featured. In 2024, deals included:

  • 50% off Holiday Snow Globes and Lanterns – great for decorating or gifting.

  • 50% off pre-lit Birch trees – a popular item for indoor or front-porch lighting.

  • 40% off novelty holiday towels – a smaller item, but good for stocking stuffers or adding some cheer to your kitchen.

Holiday items often make up a big portion of the ad, and they tend to be priced aggressively since they’re seasonal.

2. Art & Craft Supplies

Craft Warehouse puts a lot of emphasis on art kits, tools, and supplies, and this is where you’ll find some of the steepest markdowns:

  • Premium Art Sets with Metal Case by Royal Brush – were marked down to $5.00, from a regular price of $19.99.

  • A variety of other art sets were priced from $5.00 to $50.00, regularly up to $199.99, depending on the size and brand.

  • A 48-piece gel pen set was offered for just $10, originally $29.99.

  • 50% off the entire stock of Christmas brushes – useful for seasonal crafting or painting projects.

These are the kinds of deals where you’ll want to act early—art sets and brush packs tend to sell out fast, especially when they’re steeply discounted.

3. Gifting Items

Craft Warehouse always mixes in items that work well as small gifts or stocking stuffers:

  • Palm Pals plush toys were on sale for $5.00 each, down from $9.99.

  • Alpine Men’s and Women’s Winter Wool socks were 3 for $10, normally $9.99 each. That’s a huge discount, and they make for easy, practical gifts.

  • Firefly Lights (100 count with remote) were marked down to $20, regularly $49.99. These are great for ambiance lighting, dorms, bedrooms, or holiday decorations.

Other Categories Likely to Be On Sale

While last year’s flyer focused on the items above, there are other areas that usually see some markdowns as well:

  • Scrapbooking supplies – paper packs, embellishments, stickers, and more.

  • Yarn and fabric – usually not storewide discounts, but select brands or lines tend to get featured.

  • Home accents – small signs, faux greenery, or seasonal tableware.

  • Storage and organizers – these pop up from time to time, especially craft-specific containers and bins.

Some stores may also feature DIY ornament kits or make-and-take crafts over the weekend, though these vary by location and are sometimes more common earlier in the season.
