If you’re shopping for a crafty person or gearing up for your own last-minute project binge, Amazon has solid discounts on Cricut cutting machines, heat presses, and the supplies that ship in time for the holidays. I organized the best deals below so you can quickly grab a core machine, then stock up on the essential accessories and consumable stuff like mats, blades, and materials.
What is a Cricut machine anyway?
A Cricut machine is basically a small, computer-controlled cutting tool for craft projects. You feed it a design from the Cricut app, load up materials like vinyl, iron-on (HTV), cardstock, or sticker paper, and it cuts clean shapes and lettering that would be a pain to do by hand.
