Hobby Lobby Final Easter Clearance is a weeklong event with 66% - 90% off spring and Easter decor.
Technically, the Hobby Lobby Easter Clearance sale technically starts weeks before Easter with 40% off discounts. But if you don't need Easter stuff for this year, the real clearance show starts right after the holiday.
Between the day after Easter and the following Monday, discounts go from 66% off to 90% off — giving shoppers a chance to get decor like bunnies, springtime garlands, speckled eggs, colored glassware, Easter mug sets, and decorative trays at the best prices of the year.
KCL predicts the next Hobby Lobby Easter Clearance will begin Monday, April 21, 2025.
Hobby Lobby hasn’t officially announced the next date for their Hobby Lobby Easter Clearance, but based on what they've done in recent years, we here at KCL predict that it’ll start on Monday, April 21, running until at least April 28, 2025 (it’s dependent on when inventory runs out).
Note: Technically, Hobby Lobby will start discounting their Easter merchandise as early as the last week of February, but the real deals begin the day after Easter.
How do we make our prediction?
The Hobby Lobby Easter Clearance sale begins in earnest the day after Easter every year, which will be Monday, April 21, 2025. During your clearance Easter hunt, know that Hobby Lobby Easter decor will always hit its steepest markdown of 90% on the second Monday after the holiday. In 2024, that was April 8. In 2025, this will be April 28. At a glance, the Hobby Lobby Easter sale will probably play out like this:
Feb. 24, 2025 (last week of February): 40% off
April 21, 2025 (the day after Easter): 66% off
April 24, 2025 (the Thursday after Easter): 75% off
April 28, 2025 (eight days after Easter): 90% off
The best way to shop Hobby Lobby Easter clearance deals is in stores.
While Hobby Lobby offers online shopping, the bulk of the 66% - 90% clearance is an in-store-only thing to help each individual store off-load what it didn't sell before Easter. Hobby Lobby shipping fees are pretty exorbitant. For example, you could find an Easter ornament for just $0.75 at HobbyLobby.com when it's 90% off, but you'll still pay a whopping $7.95 in shipping fees. That means you'll actually pay more for that ornament than what it cost at regular price.
Occasionally we’ll see free shipping on orders over $50, but they never have free shipping on any order.
If you see something you really want, don't risk waiting until it hits 90% off.
Hobby Lobby Easter clearance starts to go pretty darn quickly once it goes to that 66% off. If you see something you've been eyeing all season long at 66% off, go ahead and grab it before it hits 75% or 90% off. You can always return when the 90% off clearance hits and see what's left on shelves.
You can find better deals on Easter candy elsewhere.
Clearance Easter candy at Hobby Lobby isn't as cheap as you'll find it at other stores. During a visit when clearance was at 75% off last year, there was a 9-ounce bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs just begging to be purchased. Their regular price was $6.49. That means at 75% off it still rang up at $1.62. If I'd waited until the candy hit 90% off, that bag would have cost $0.65 (if it was still there). However if you shopped 90% off Easter clearance at Walmart, that same bag would be just $0.45 (down from an original price of $4.48).
