At GrannyHobby, we believe in complete honesty with our readers. This page explains how we earn money, how affiliate links work, and what that means for you.
How We Earn Money
GrannyHobby is an independently operated content site. We earn revenue through affiliate partnerships with retailers and brands. When you click a link on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at absolutely no extra cost to you.
These commissions help us keep the lights on, pay for hosting, and continue creating helpful, well-researched content for our community.
Our Affiliate Partners
We participate in affiliate programs including, but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates Program — As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
- Various other affiliate networks and direct brand partnerships.
We Do NOT Physically Test Products
We want to be completely upfront: products featured on GrannyHobby are not independently purchased or hands-on tested by our team. Instead, our reviews and recommendations are based on:
- Aggregated verified buyer feedback — We analyze patterns from dozens to hundreds of real customer reviews across trusted retail platforms.
- Manufacturer specifications — We examine product specs, materials, dimensions, and technical details.
- Ingredient and formulation analysis — Where applicable, we research ingredients and their known properties.
- Published expert opinions — We reference recommendations from credentialed professionals and trusted publications.
- Price and value analysis — We compare pricing, historical price trends, and cost-per-unit against alternatives.

How Affiliate Links Affect Our Content
Our editorial recommendations are based on our research, not on which products pay the highest commission. We recommend products because we genuinely believe they offer good value for our readers — not because of the affiliate revenue they generate.
That said, we want you to know:
- We may prioritize covering products that have affiliate programs available, since this is how we sustain the site.
- Affiliate commissions never influence our assessment of a product’s quality, value, or suitability.
- If a product has significant negative feedback from verified buyers, we will report that honestly — even if it earns us a commission.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose our affiliate relationships clearly. Links that may earn us a commission are identified as affiliate links throughout our content.
Your Trust Matters
We understand that trust is earned. Our goal is to help you find the right products for your hobbies, crafts, and creative pursuits — and we take that responsibility seriously. If you ever have questions about our recommendations or affiliate relationships, please don’t hesitate to reach out at hello@grannyhobby.com.
Thank you for supporting GrannyHobby by using our links. It truly helps us continue doing what we love.
