Michaels

Michael’s is a decent store for what it is. It offers a good selection of items for crafters, scrap bookers, painters and artists. I can’t though give it rave reviews as I’m not one of these types. When I go, and it is infrequently, it is for a particular decorative item, or for something my daughter might need. Those in the know can speak better of it but for me it’s good.

Michaels a is great place if you're into any sorts of baking, arts, and crafts. I used to go all the time back in high school and college to buy supplies for my art classes; painting, sketching, ceramics, photography, etc. I even used to buy their shirts which were pretty cheap to tie-dye. Now all the rage is around cricut; they have an aisle with all the supplies you need. I even bought fake flowers and various of other items for my wedding (super budget/DIY wedding and I'm proud of it). I also buy yarn for knitting and supplies for embroidering. They have kids craft too which my toddler loves. They offer custom framing and helium balloons; their website allows for customization options. When I went, I saw a room for where they offer classes; summer camp are offered and birthday parties can be hosted at the stores. There are 1,252 Michaels in the US and Canada. I think it's a great store for the artsy and crafty people; even if you're not artsy/crafty it's fun to look at. Don't forget to check their website for coupons!

Ridiculous pricing. Outrageous prices for holiday ribbon, specifically the wired ribbon. Over $20 for a roll? Holiday wrapping paper $11.99 for 6.6 yds? Are they taking advantage now that their former competitor has closed?

Absolutely love this place, friendly staff and great things to buy. Sign up also with them every purchase adds up to a voucher. Plus you get a coupon at the end of your purchase

I came into the store and asked where something was. The older lady working was incredibly rude and basically just told me to find the item myself, as if that is not what her job requires.
