Every year on Christmas Eve, my entire family always ends up drunk singing Christmas carols and ringing bells by the end of the night! Thank goodness we don’t actually go out caroling because the neighbors would hate us! 😂🌲🔔
New subscriber this holiday season! Love your videos! And yes my store looks worse than yours! The selection was very sparce! They didnt have any stems, stockings etc. I thought I remembered that they filed for bankruptcy over the summer, but maybe I am wrong
Yes, it was phenomenal deal! I bought ribbons on sale and it was cheaper than dollar store and the quality is incomparable of course. Or four huge realistic picks for ten dollars is a better bargain than in any store ( I don’t have hobby lobby unfortunately)
Our store has so much less than your store. I do still sew but when I have have shopped at Joanna I have been really disappointed in the quality😐 but I love all of your videos. ❤
I completely agree, Joannes has went to 🔥in a hand bag. My local store looks like a boom went off inside and it doesn’t matter the day of the week-it’s a mess. The people that work there are not interested in helping the customers and if the worker’s nice then they don’t know how to help. The last 3 visits to my local store, I had employees that reek of marijuan, had a face covered in tattoos, and all had unhygienic hair-it has been terrible experiences. I asked fellow customers for help. I’ve tried several times over the past year to order online, but the merchandise comes broken. It’s so sad. I miss the good old days when they had retired seamstresses, knitters, and crafters that ran the stores. They offered classes and demonstrations, and had a clean, organized store. I will continue to hold out hope for the return of a great Joannes, but until then I will watch you. Sorry D, you said let’s discuss and I took the liberty.😆 Thank you so much for sharing.😊❤ I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Several years ago, when I first started watching videos and several people would have a Joann's Store on Video. And their merchandise was so Beautiful and expensive looking. But now...❗️ I appreciate Your hard work and sharing your videos with us. 🎄⛄️❣️❗️
Damaris, you and your family have the most wonderful Thanksgiving!!! I hope you eat lots, gain no weight and have a lovely time. As always, thank you for taking us shopping.
Love your videos and shopping with you. ❤JoAnns used to be one of my favourite stores to shop in, when I lived in the U.S.A.. Wish we had a JoAnns here in Ireland. Happy Thanksgiving to you!! ❤
My Joann Fabric here in Ohio. I was extremely happy with. The quality was excellent with things I bought. I felt the prices were good. But you had to get there early because things were definitely picked over.
You’ve saved me a trip to Joann’s. The closest one is about an hour’s drive from my home. It does not seem worth the trip especially since I have quite a collection of decorations, ribbon and florals etc. at home. Happy Thanksgiving 🍂🦃🍂 I’m enjoying your videos. Congratulations on reaching another milestone on your subscribers 🥰
Here’s my thoughts. Joann’s is older ladies craft store. Michael’s and Hobby Lobby are younger ladies craft stores 😂and I’m ALWAYS young at heart and I like the later two stores. Joann’s does have good stuff!! But I go in that store rarely as the visual merchandising isn’t there to get me excited or motivated. Does that make sense? 😊❤ love ya
I just wanted to add that several of the stores I have been in-At Home and Michael’s are two of them-they almost look like they’ve been looted. I think the Christmas shopping started with a frenzy this year! People get excited earlier and earlier, it seems to me. Hungry for that festive feeling. Can’t blame them.
I'm a big pink Christmas fan. JoAnn's don't carry any different colors. More traditional. I love the elves that Hobby Lobby carries. Maybe people are doing more online shopping??
I recently read that the Joann stores that are still open are severely understaffed. Also, ‘corporate’ keeps sending merch to the stores but there aren’t enough employees to put it all out. I also heard they are undergoing bankruptcy but I don’t know if that’s what is behind all the issues. It’s so sad-Joann’s was my favorite store for years and years. Also: You have me looking for the disco ball ornaments now. I found a bag of really small ones at Michaels, but they really aren’t mirrored balls-they are plastic made to look like mirror balls. I will keep looking. I’m also thinking about doing the giant bow trend on my tree since it will be much easier than trying to get my current topper straight and lighted up properly lol.
They Jack up the prices and then post “40% Off Everything” to make it seem like you’re getting a bargain. JoAnn’s, your strategy isn’t working! 🙂↔️ Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! 🦃
My store is almost empty on the Christmas decor. What’s left is overpriced or not my style. I did order online some beautiful ornaments that were on sale. It was same last year as far as not much selection. I did score on clearance wrapping paper last year but nothing else. Kinda sad they’re like that. Looks like another store that’ll be gone soon. Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.❤️
Joann’s still has quality product but I think corporate is focusing more on online sales over their brick and mortar stores. They closed several stores in our area but they did open 2 new locations so I think at that time it was more about geographic location. I’ll say the locations that have remained open need a lot of love and investment as they are pretty old and worn down. Our Michael’s Stores could use some as well. Plus I don’t think they are paying their employees what they’re worth hence the lack of quality in the stores today.
My JoAnns is not that great. I think they'll be going out of business soon. I watch the video to support your channel 🥰 Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 🦃🥧
Hi Damaris, do you have an Anthropologie store near you? You might enjoy shopping there and taking us with you some time. Maybe you have and I missed that video.
@ sadly, their corporate culture is less than generous, including applications that note the employees need to be on call and available at short notice. My local store, partly a regional thing, has trouble keeping staff. (North of Boston)
@ArtistInNewHampshire SO many people working in corporate shouldn't be there! I guess they don't want jobs, because they always seem to do things that cause bankruptcy! The economy has been so bad these last four years in California!😮 Kirklands was bought out by bed bath and beyond and there only on line! 😮
@DigiArt003 Their selling merch in stores from Bed bath and beyond! I spoke to a manager at my store, and corporate from Bed bath and beyond was actually visiting the day I was there!
I feel like JoAnne might be relying heavily on on-line sales. I receive the emails for discounts, but the marketing department fails to show "best items". I do enjoy going In-store to see items. Their retail pricing is killing them, just offer the product with fair pricing without gimmicks. I feel like the creative team is great. Marketing sucks. I've purchased great items here, I don't want to play finance games.

I agree with everything you said. My Joann's has been lacking for a long time. I still go but it's not the same. Sad😢
Happy Thanksgiving to you too...Enjoy ❤🎉😊

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
I wish we had a Joann's Store in our town.
I watch your videos because I love shopping with You🎄🕯⛄️❣️❗️Many Thanks❗️
I'm so glad! Thanks Nancy ❤
Same!🩷
Demaris, you need to do Kohls, they have so much Christmas 🎄 decor! 🎄🎄✨️🎄🎄
Yes, it was phenomenal deal! I bought ribbons on sale and it was cheaper than dollar store and the quality is incomparable of course. Or four huge realistic picks for ten dollars is a better bargain than in any store ( I don’t have hobby lobby unfortunately)
My store closed several years ago. I don't miss it any more. I don't think people sew much anymore. Love shopping with you sooo fun.
The fox wreath is so cute! I was excited about looking for it at my local store until i saw $50 price tag. WTH Joann????
It’s expensive, but they had an phenomenal buy one get three free sale on Christmas picks! I went twice and happy because their picks are beautiful.
Our JoAnns is closing at the end of this year.
Our store has so much less than your store. I do still sew but when I have have shopped at Joanna I have been really disappointed in the quality😐 but I love all of your videos. ❤
Oh yes, let's shop❣️❗️
Happy Thanksgiving
Same to you! Thank you!

I never pay full price for anything at Joann, it's too high at regular price. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍂🍁

Ours went out of business this summer.
Love your videos, Damaris! I hope you have a happy thanksgiving! (I’m Canadian so mine was in October) All the best to you and your family!

I got those same bells in beginning of vid from Ross for $8 not $20😮
And actually remember being shocked they were so inexpensive because of the quality
My JoAnns is not that great. I think they'll be going out of business soon. I watch the video to support your channel 🥰 Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 🦃🥧
Hi Damaris, do you have an Anthropologie store near you? You might enjoy shopping there and taking us with you some time. Maybe you have and I missed that video.
The store in my town is closing down
Hi : they have same beautiful items for Christmas . Love the ornament with the rain deer too . He is really festive on the tree .🎄 💫🌲🌟🌷💯🎅🎁✨️🧑🎄🫎💘🦌
My store is on the skimpy side also. I did take advantage of the buy one get three ornament sale.
Agree nothing impressive and pricie…but we just want to hang out with you 🎉 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃!
Is their store well stocked? It doesn't look like it!
Joann’s in Mason Ohio looks sparse. Maybe they can’t compete with Hobby Lobby down the street.
They are undergoing a bankruptcy right now, and might have trouble getting merchandise.
😮😮😮 See I knew it! Thanks for the info ❤😅

FYI - Kirklands is just partnering online with Bed Bath & Beyond as a main seller, they have not been bought out.

Does anybody miss AC Moore's, I do
My store closed a while ago…
Our JoAnns is really too far to drive for what they offer. They really need to step up game.

I’m not really a Joann’s fan!
