As a crafter and a DIY'er, I'm always on the hunt for budget friendly craft supplies. Craft supply stores have a good variety of products but I ususally don't find everything in one place either due to supply, inventory, or price. So I shop around in a few different places to get the best deals and the best variety of supplies, tools and materials. There's plenty of stores both offline and online - even some places you wouldn't necessarily think of ... This list features favorite stores for finding budget-friendly craft materials for all DIY projects.

Hands down my favourite crystal. Amethyst is known for its calming, grounding energy and is often used to slow down an overactive mind 💜 It’s linked to mental clarity, emotional balance, and helping you feel more centered when things get overwhelming. People love it for stress relief, easing anxiety, and creating a more peaceful vibe in their space. It transmutes negative energy into positive. It’s also associated with protection (especially from negative energy), better sleep, and even deeper intuition or connection to your inner voice.
We are a game loving family! We have a vast collection of games and love collecting new and fun games. We have games for every occasion so I tried to break them down into categories so you can find what you're looking for!
I once asked someone whether a watercolor that I saw on vacation was worth the price. He responded, 'Well, is it worth it to you?' That response taught me that everything has a relative value. Art, while considered a luxury for some, can bring joy for many years - more so than that dress you'll wear twice. Invest in art and you'll not only fill some space on your wall but have beauty to enjoy in your home for years to come.

I paint kindness rocks and am building a platform that will change how people view painted rocks, and how art can impact others. Rock painting is an art niche that really took off during covid when people were cooped up inside but longed for that human connection. Artists painted messages of inspiration & hope and left them “hidden in plain sight”. That niche has steadily grown over the years with no signs of slowing down. Rock painting is affordable, accessible and lets artists share their art with others (on the sly).

Broadway is more than a hobby for me—it’s my full-on special interest. I see at least six shows a year (sometimes more if I can swing it), and the theater has become one of my happiest places. Whether I’m sitting front row or way up in the mezzanine, if the show grabs me, I’m in. And if I really love it, I’ll be listening to the soundtrack on repeat for weeks (or let’s be honest—months).
This list is reserved for the shows I’ve already seen (some more than once) and would absolutely see again. They’ve stuck with me—whether it was the story, the cast, the music, or just the overall vibe. That said, I’ve definitely had a few disappointments along the way (Les Misérables, Moulin Rouge, and Peter Pan just weren’t for me), but everything here earned its standing ovation in my heart. If you're looking for show recs or just want to compare favorites, welcome to my theater-obsessed world!
