The amount of self-control you guys had while they had a half-price sale on. I would have left with probably some POSCA's lol if you guys are adventuring and need another idea - The Works have a half price art sale at the moment too which also includes a lot of their wooden stuff too. I went and got their fairy houses for £1 each last week to paint (thinking it could be a two in one video idea of an outdoor vlog at the works and then if you did buy wooden stuff you could do a second video of you painting said items) 💕

[@DoodleDate]

HAHA believe us it was hard! But we wanted to just window shop and have a look around with you guys! Even though we did end up getting a couple of things LOL

[@LalexandraRachel1994]

@@DoodleDate haha window shopping never works for me lol I always end up getting stuff 😂💕

[@13Duckies]

Omg this store puts American art stores to shame 😂 I wish I could go!! At my local store the copics and poscas are locked in a case, it’s so weird to see them chilling out in the open lol

[@DoodleDate]

We got those free range art supplies here 💓

[@chubbyjaydraws]

It’s pretty much like Michaels and Hobby Lobby in the states. Are there no Blicks or Jerry’s near you? Now those are amazing art stores .

[@daltons_doodles8089]

I always think the opposite! When i see videos of American art stores they look waaayyyy cooler than a British art store. However in this video Hobbycraft look like they’ve upped their game. I’ll have to go again and pick up some new stuff! ✨🥰👌🏼

[@brooklynnbailey4356]

@@chubbyjaydraws We don't have Blicks or Jerry's down south in the US, we don't even have Michael's within 6 hrs of me 😭 we have a Hobby Lobby that's 96% decor & bare minimum art supplies it freaking sucks 😤

[@yamigekusu]

If you have an Ollie's Bargain Outlet near you, they usually have a fairly decent art section if you know where to look

[@SurinaSlackArt]

I can fully understand Steph's obsession with ink bottles. They are so well packaged, it reminds me of delicious treats. Yum yum

[@DoodleDate]

YES THIS IS EXACTLY IT

[@laurendegraaf7003]

I’m glad Steph is feeling well enough to do these outings! Also a tip for the W&N gouache, if you’d like to test them a good one to buy is the permanent white, I believe it’s one of the most opaque of any brand and it’ll give you a big range of colours if you mix it with your current paints so you can get a lot of bang for your buck!

[@laurenbell6421]

Definitely need to see a parrots with parrot pens video!

[@DoodleDate]

YESSSS HAHAHA

[@ahiggy583]

9:14 I think the "T" is for your garden. You burn onto it whatever plant name you have and then stick it into the ground, into the garden so you remember what the plant is when it's growing.

It was honestly amazing! They had some great stuff for so cheap 💓

Thanks for coming to see us and showing your subscribers your local Hobbycraft store! We loved seeing the amazing things you found - especially the Paint-your-own birdhouses! 😍 Hope to see you again soon!

[@DoodleDate]

omg we didn't think you guys would see this but thanks for commenting, we're a big fan of your stores!!

[@berglindhammerschmidt6975]

Aww I loved your video from a few years back where you went shopping for Art supplies. Definitely one of my favourites. Doodledate and looking at Art supplies are two of my favorite things. Can't wait to see what you do with these bird houses and the lill embroidery ring. I'm glad you guys are making a few videos outside again, hope it is not to much of a strain on you two thou, take care.

Walking through a craft store is how I exercise 🤣 I have a cricut joy! Bought it because it was ✨smol✨ but it works just as nicely as it bigger siblings 😆 good for smol spaces and projects.

[@DoodleDate]

Omg i love that! I hope we can get out hands on one some day!!

[@ColzoArt]

I have the joy too & with the help of YT, I’ve been able to do the print & cut where I print my own designs and then cut them out with the joy!

[@AdrianGarcia-xq9kr]

This really brings me back to the older video of you guys in an art store looking at all the beautiful ink.

[@fauzanfairus]

So hype for another outdoor video! Always looking forward to a doodledate video 🌟

[@DoodleDate]

Hope you enjoyed it! 💓

[@dinis0r]

God I want to go into a real art store again so bad;;; Happy to see you guys making the best of the nice weather! Getting that good vitamin D!!

It was fun to SEE art supplies in person again after such a long time, and the smell was amazing LOL

[@livezinthemoment]

06:07 "sending out an SOS" got me like💃🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗 while I try to focus on the paints

[@himboking]

my grandma taught me and my sister how to cross stitch when we were really young, we did it after school when we would go to their house, but when we got older and stopped going over we stopped doing it. She passed a few years ago and my sister and i inherited all of her cross stitch stuff. she was always reading, knitting, or cross stitching, so she had a LOT of stuff. like five storage bins worth of stuff. we haven't gone through all of it yet but i've pulled out things to practice with and do little projects, for the first time in probably 13 or 14 years. i'm having a lot of fun practicing again! that display hoop you got is so cute

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

Yasssss I love these art store videos!

[@DoodleDate]

We hope you enjoy this one too Tara! :D

[@panix.x]

This was so nice to watch, especially the cross-stitch section because embroidery is my life-blood at the minute!

[@ellenk560]

Send me all the kneadable erasers, Adam. I'll use them happily. Even if I already have a conglomerated one about the size of a billiard ball. Love them. lol. Cute video as always. Good to see you two out and about again.

[@KenVie2000]

I love window shopping for art supplies, and I also can't help buying something. But you deserve the treat! I hope you have fun with the bird houses.

[@alexmccl]

Yes! I love that you guys are bringing vlogs back.

[@amozinshade484]

aww a plushie made with the fuzzy materials would be lovely. ☺

[@natalieb3888]

Currently watching, but want to comment for the support! The signs make remind me of Michaels because they also use red and white. In America the posca pens would be locked on the wall along with any alcohol markers.

[@DoodleDate]

All of them would be locked up!?

[@ghost__404]

@@DoodleDate yeah!! People just put them into their bags and walk out :((

[@natalieb3888]

In most places I go to they are! You have to get an employee to unlock it and they will usually carry it to the checkout counter. I live in a rather large city though so that might be why.

[@Okarien]

It’s more than likely a thing everywhere now. I used to work at a local Michaels in a small town for 7 years and all our Poscas were locked up. (Copics too) They never used to be, but people would just come in and empty the shelves, stealing them all, so they ended up being locked away,

[@ghost__404]

I love seeing little videos like these!! I can’t believe how different your art stores are compared to americas :(( prices and layout

[@DoodleDate]

Are they super different? O: What changes over in America? 💓

[@ghost__404]

@@DoodleDate A lot of stuff is behind glass walls, and severely overpriced… So prices range from $10-$20 more than yours LOL

We wish the same to you, oh friendly froggo!!

[@WillowRoseArlen]

Those are some crazy good prices!

[@DoodleDate]

IKR?!?!

[@mayloo2137]

I'm in Canada. I like your various British art supplies. whenever I saw the price in £, I try to convert those to Canadian dollars. It's roughly $2 CDN = 1 £. I started painting with acrylic paints. Now I prefer watercolors. Here in Calgary, we have a dry climate so I buy watercolor pans instead of tubes because the latter dry out too quickly. I like that the Fabric section is called Haberdashery. I have to remember that. Lovely tour. Thanks.

[@taptothemoon]

steph's foggy glasses are so relatable ㅠㅠ

[@ameliamangham4460]

LOVE these types of videos

[@stroodledoodles]

I just got the Deep Colour posca set (took advantage of the Hobbycraft online sale hehe), they're really pretty! Definitely would recommend!

Parts with part markers would be soo good, maybe we can see what tika used to look like ^^

what an intense to start to the video, lmaoooo

Adamo loved that thing!! LOL

[@hannahcave4403]

Excited! One of my favorite video is your is the one where you go to hobby craft. I've watched it at least 3 times. I'm jealous of your art store. I can't buy and cotman half pans in store. They are only only in any art store I've been in also your Ink selection! Jealous. I really enjoy watching yall shop at the art store :)

[@DoodleDate]

OMG thank you so much Hannah! We love art supply shopping too but we have to limit ourselves or we would be broke HAHA

[@bethanygladding4523]

My mom has a CriCut and she can do a bunch of stuff with it. You can make stickers! I am a classroom teacher, and she makes all sorts of things for my kids. She especially loves to use it to make cut out cards. I am not sure how much they cost in the UK, but I have a feeling you two might love it. It might be worth saving up for. On a side note, giant letters are probably more of an American thing. They are very popular in schools. I have giant letters that spell out read.

[@3lliephant]

I was really into acrylics and if you ever want to get them i’d recommend just the three primary colors, black and white. You can also get a cheaper brand and to thicken the paint up you can add cornstarch!

[@julbird2115]

Finally, redemption for the time you guys went and the power was out 😂

[@DoodleDate]

I'll never steer you guys wrong when it comes to erasers!

I've been watching and drawing along with you guys for about 6 years now! It was so nostalgic to see this store again, I love you guys and I can't wait for the next video 💜

[@mjpete27]

Glad you guys enjoyed getting out and thanks for sharing it with us! Adam? I have a hard time believing that YOU have no use of kneaded erasers! Working with graphite and just about every drawing tool/medium a kneaded eraser is simply a go to supply! I use it every time I sketch out my watercolor plans, every time! I believe that this is the first time you have shocked me! Well I hope you enjoyed the shopping spree I know we did! I look forward to watching your next video.

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

I agree with Adam. I know kneaded erasers areso useful, I just don't like how they feel and how they always seem to collect dust and hair.

Omg!! Those prices! I Haven't seen a sale like this in the United States in 2 years

[@ellen7930]

im fairly new to it but my mom got me a cricut explore and I use it for like paper cutting for cards. i also cut some vinyl that you can iron on an made shirts for a trip. its fun but its kinda price intensive for some stuff. you can do your designs digitally (I usually draw mine on an iPad) and then it can cut out the shapes.

[@Pixiewithpens]

(im sorry if ive commented this before, ive been watching your videos for years ok) winsor & newton is The Brand in sweden as well! meaning you will find them in every shop that sells art supplies, pretty much, and then what else they have varies greatly. and the posca pens are usually locked up here, but just the loose single ones, packs will be out on shelves. same with copic markers. anyway, more importantly: parrots with parrot pens would be such a fun and cute video, doodle date drawing animals is a|ways a good time!! im just saying 👀

[@juliaiaia]

So cute-I love getting to sit down and watch your videos, they always put me in a creative mood!

Thought I'd mention it as I always loved that you guys championed budget art products!
