Creative Minds

It's a huge one stop shop for arts and crafts. They have almost, if not all, of the items that you need for your arts needs. They are located in commercial area where we purchase decorations for offices. They have all the decors and designs for any occasion. Though they are quite pricey, still, you have all you need here. Unless you want to travel to the city, then this is the next best place to buy your arts and crafts things.

There’s a few reviews about the prices/value for money at this huge store. I suspect that one of the reasons for the high prices is its location, where rent is high. Putting the store in a mainly commercial, rather than retail, area must reduce its footfall, thereby increasing prices. It’s a huge store for crafts and hobbies of all sorts, two floors of crafting heaven if you want to pay these prices, which some will, as it’s convenient having it all under one roof and it is laid out very nicely. There are also items which would be difficult, if not impossible, to find elsewhere in Abu Dhabi; hence the premium prices. Parking is available in the basement though a sign states there is a minimum spend for this. Summary: most of these craft goods can be found in IKEA, Medina Zayed or Musaffah for a fraction of the cost, but if you need specialist supplies (eg model railway scenery) and quick convenience - and you’re prepared to pay for that - this could be your place.

It's a great place for people who are interested in art and crafts, the store has a wide variety of products that they carry regularly and many seasonal items for different holidays and events, the store is clean and organized, all products are well placed and visible. Overall, this store is one of the best I’ve been to and has an amazing variety of stuff that really get you inspired.
