The Instacart buying guide to hobby supplies

Hobbies are one of the ways we relieve stress from our daily lives. They give us a chance to take a break. When you're working on that hobby and find you need one more thing, you don't want to stop what you're doing. Instacart shoppers can save you that last-minute trip to the store. Quick and easy sign-up enables you to get that missing piece or an entire order in as little as 2 hours, so you don't have to make a special trip!


Tips for shopping for a new hobby

If you're looking to start a new hobby, we have a few pointers that can make shopping for that new hobby easier.

Time: Think about how much time you have for the new hobby. The variety of hobbies is wide. However, some hobbies take less time than others. No matter your time constraints, you can find something you'll enjoy. Order through Instacart to shop several stores at once.

Needs: While some hobbies, such as playing guitar, require very few items, at least at one time, others, such as woodworking, have a much more complicated list of required tools and parts. Instacart shoppers can help you make sure you get everything you need.

Cost: Think about how much you want to spend on the hobby, now and in the future. Many hobbies can get much more expensive as you go along. Looking at this upfront and ordering ahead can help you save money. Instacart helps you save both time and money!

Space: Think about how much space you'll need for the new hobby. Is it an outdoor or indoor activity? Some hobbies take a lot of space, although they may start small. Jewelry making, for example, can start small but end up taking up a good deal of space.

Family Friendly: When looking at hobbies for the family, make sure they're scalable, so you can continue to enjoy the activity as the family grows. Hiking and bike riding are good places to start, and many games, including board games like chess, are family-friendly and can make a wonderful family tradition. Any hobby that involves fitness or outdoor activity is great for families. Fill your Instacart to get everything you need for these family activities.

Direction: How do you want to express yourself in a way that you don't get much chance to in your daily life? If your day job uses a lot of math and doesn't have much room for other expressions, you might want to try your hand at writing, drawing, or something that involves a different type of creativity.

What type of people do you want to meet: Most hobbies have groups associated with them. Do you want a more laid-back crowd or a more intense group? Whichever you choose, order via Instacart when it's your turn to host. You can order on your computer or on the Instacart app.

Each of these questions will affect your decision. Once your decision is made, order through Instacart to have what you need within hours!

Finding a hobby can be the biggest hurdle, but it can be an opportunity to pursue things you've always wanted to do. Look back to your childhood for inspiration. Did you love to dance or paint when you were younger but thought you had to stop as you got older? Get started again by taking a class or picking up a brush. You can also take a closer look at your current interests. Do you enjoy cooking? Find a place to take cooking classes and improve your skills in the kitchen while creating delicious meals for your family.

Maybe you have always loved walking or running. You can turn this into a hobby and then shop via Instacart to find fitness trackers, running shoes, and comfortable walking clothes.

The supplies that you need for a hobby depend largely on what you decide to do. Use Instacart to shop for all kinds of supplies, whether is paints, brushes, and canvases for creating art, or guitar or keyboard if you want to learn an instrument. You can also find gardening supplies such as seeds, fertilizer, and gardening tools for a large gardening project or herbs and flowers for something smaller if you're just getting started.

Instacart makes it easy and convenient to get the supplies and gear you'll need whether you are starting a new hobby or need something for a hobby you already enjoy. You can shop at multiple stores and get what you need without having to leave the house or stop your fun.
