Hobby Shops near Dana Point, CA

“This place is the reason why my jewelry making skills have skyrocketed. I can spend all day in here, I'm so sorry if I only buy a few things but I just can't help but stare and touch all of those BEAUTIFUL stones!! I've learned so much about different semi precious gems through this store, as the woman who owns it has an insane collection of strands of things you've never even seen before! And i can't help but notice she has different strands of things, even the same beads, every time I visit. Speaking of this woman, who I'm assuming is the owner, she is a pleasant, beautiful woman who knows her craft VERY well. I love it here. I wish I could go here every single day. As soon as I hit the lottery or something, this is my first stop!!! I love you OC Beads! I do splurge sometimes so here are some of the gorgeous stones I've bought from here. There's laramar, Morganite, blue Moonstone (expensive but worth every penny), pink opals, LOTS of rhodonite (my favorite) and various pendants. I really really love this store very much!”

“This place is great! I can't believe how much memorabilia they have. Stan the owner was very helpful and knowledgeable. He even gave my son a Troy Gloss baseball card for free. I definitely recommend!”

“small art store with an unmatched & unique collection of supplies. every time i come here i find something ive never seen before, at a great price! love this place”

“Hobby Lobby is the epitome of a well set up and managed store. They a clean, well kept up, organized store with tons of good quality stuff. They are larger than most other stores and have mostly everything you could ever need. Maybe the best part of the store is two things, 1 they have mostly everything you could need for any hobby. And two they do holiday decorations like no other. Almost no one can touch their Christmas selections. That is their super power.

And it’ll you want to decorate rooms with wall art and decorations, they rock that too.

I can say there are specialty stores that can offer more for example, art supplies are owned by Art Supply Warehouse or models at Brookhurst Hobbies. But they are far away and that’s all they specialize in. No Hobby Lobby is everywhere, convenient, and has almost everything you could need for almost every hobby there is. And you can decorate any room is almost any style.”

“Extremely helpful. More expensive than I thought for matting but the sales person was very helpful in coming up with an affordable set up for a framed & matted gift for a friend of mine.”

“I absolutely love visiting Michal’s Arts & Crafts. Every trip is a great experience — the store is clean, well-organized, and always stocked with a wide variety of supplies for any project I’m working on. The staff consistently goes above and beyond with customer service, offering help and recommendations, I went for Halloween and pumpkin supplies. Whether I’m grabbing something simple or trying a new craft, Michaels is always my first choice. Highly recommend!”

“Been here a few times and the shop owners always greet me like family. I can never walk away without buying anything from this shop. Prices are really fair and they have a wide selection for retail rippers.”

“If you're a fan of cute gifts, home items, accessories, and all sorts of sweet miscellaneous goods, this store is a must-visit!

One of my favorite sections is the stationery-adorable pens, erasers, pencil cases, and stickers that make any desk setup more fun. On this visit, my heart was completely stolen by fluffy magnetic keychains-so soft and charming!

The store also has a nice selection of tote bags, perfect for everyday use.

For plush toy lovers, there's an amazing variety from the Nintendo universe, including Koopa Troopas, Mario mushrooms, Luigi, Bob-omb, Boo, Yoshi, Princess Daisy, and more. If you're a Hello Kitty fan, you'll also find plushies featuring characters like My Melody, Cinnamoroll, Kuromi, and Pompompurin!

Beyond plushies, there’s a great range of plastic figurines, including anime collectibles. The homeware section is equally impressive, offering mugs, glasses, bowls, mugs with lids and figurines, teapots, and thermoses.

Overall, this store is a treasure trove of cute and unique finds!”

“The Toy Box is not only for kids, it's memory lane for us 60 somethings. They have so many cool things that brought back good memories when I was a kid. Super friendly staff, thanks for the memories!”
