The best Cricut Black Friday deals

Save $700: Cricut's large pro heat press is designed to create large quantities of shirts, bags and other items. If you're a pro crafter selling on Etsy, with 70% off, this is a very good deal, and the lowest price the Autopress has been. Be warned, it's very large.

Cricut Maker 3: $429.99 $349 at Joann
Save $80: We saw a big deal on Cricut's current flagship cutting machine, the Maker 3, which added support for Cricut Smart Materials – and this offer at Joann is the lowest price ever recorded.

Save $100: There was a $100 saving on the Cricut Maker Champagne model. This machine has now been superseded by the Maker 3, but it remains a solid cutting and crafting device. The main difference is the lack of support of Cricut Smart Materials (read our Maker review for more details).

Save $313: Like I said, Cricut Black Friday deals on the Maker 3 cutting machine tend to be on bundles (except the exception above!), but they can save you a packet on Cricut's pricey materials and accessories, which you're going to need at some point anyway.

This was one of the best deals I'd seen, as it not only comes with a selection of materials and tools but also a subscription to Cricut Access!

Save $478: The UK Cricut Venture bundle deal below was not as good as this US offer I found, and in fact, Cricut reduced this by a further $50 since we first spotted the deal. There was also $300 off the standalone machine – for $699.

Save $50: I love this portable craft cutter, particularly for card making and papercrafts. This was a great deal, and the lowest price I've seen it go for actually. Great for cards, labels and more. There was also a great Joy bundle deal for $247.89 $102 that came with the essential materials as well as a free Cricut Access sub (which you need).

Save $124.93: We saw a tiny saving on the new Cricut Joy Xtra via this bundle deal. As this is one of Cricut's newest machines I wouldn't expect a hardware discount, but it signals more bundles could be on the way.

Save $120: The Cricut EasyPress 3 is an updated version of the craft machine brand's heat press that adds an option to connect to the Cricut Heat app, which can be useful.

We found $60 off this model, which was also available on the largest version of the machine, with other discounts on the smaller versions and on EasyPress 3 bundles.

Save $100: The lowest price I've seen on this older machine, this is a brilliant deal on one of my favourites. We reviewed it with a glowing 4.5 stars, loving the timer, adjustability and ease of use. The only major difference to the above machine is the lack of connectivity to the Cricut Heat app, so if you don't mind a more manual machine, this can save you a little extra.

Save $353: Super lightweight, fuss-free remote crafting, the Cricut Explore 3 fast, precision cuts twice as fast as previous models. There are no discounts on the machine, but Cricut has reduced the price of its Everything Bundle, which is great value.

Save $100: The new Explore 3 is compatible with Cricut's new Smart Materials, which means you can make larger projects and there's no need for a mat. This deal at Joann equals the lowest price we've seen on this model (It's just gone back up in price at Amazon and Cricut, so this is a good deal.)

Save 20%: Save money on the price of the Explore Air 2, an older but still excellent craft machine. Okay, it's only 20% (the lowest price was $149) but it suggests Cricut could have earmarked Explore Air 2 for price reductions during Black Friday as it looks to clear stock and focus on Explore 3 for 2024.

Save $30: Get the older but still superb Explore model for less, and at Michaels you can find this craft cutting machine in one of three colours – Peakcock, Mint and Boysenberry.

Save £42: Amazon had a brilliant bundle deal available. As well as the Cricut Maker (Rose), you're also getting a mat, two vinyl samplers, two iron-on samplers and a pen set, saving you a modest 12% in total.

Save 19%: This was the only UK deal on a standalone Cricut Maker 3, and it's a small but welcome price drop. Note: be careful when looking at Maker 3 deals, the current RRP is £399,99 but some sites use the older £429.99 to make deals look better. I've adjusted the real RRP for the above deal.

Save £213.86: In the UK, Cricut also had several early Black Friday bundle deals for the Cricut Maker 3. This one gets you the machine itself with sets of tools and a decent supply of vinyl and iron-ons to start with. It also comes with a sub to Cricut Access for free projects and discounts.

Cricut Venture + Materials bundle: £1,035.40 £899.99 at Cricut
Save £135.41: Cricut's new large scale professional cutter, the Venture, has a bundle deal at the Cricut store. It's a small discount in the UK. There's also £129.99 off the Venture + Stand bundle, now £1,035.40 £899.99.

Cricut Joy Insert Card bundle: £247.38 £179.99 at Cricut
Save £67.39: This one has gone up by £30 so the deal isn't as good as last week. There are a number of Joy bundles around at the moment but in my opinion this Card Insert pack is the best for getting up and running with this small craft machine.

Cricut Joy: £149.99 £128.15 at Amazon
Save 20%: The tiny Cricut Joy is one of the brand's best-selling craft cutters and right now Amazon has £20 off. Note: I've adjusted the Amazon price to represent the actual RRP of the Joy, which is now £149.99.

Cricut EasyPress 2 (9 x 9): £169.99 £126.50 at Hobbycraft
Save £43.49: With the EasyPress 3 taking priority, Hobbycraft is clearing its EasyPress 2 stock. This heat press is ideal for iron-on projects including t-shirt prints and dress design. While it's an older device it's still one of my preferred heat presses, and delivers consistent results.

Cricut Hat Press: £139.99 £89.99 at Cricut
Save £50: One of Cricut's interesting heat presses, this one is designed just to print designs onto hats and caps. At this price, this niche heat press becomes a fun gift or treat for any crafter.

Cricut EasyPress 3 12 x 10in: £179.99 £99.99 at Cricut
Save £50: Cricut's newest, largest heat press has a good price drop. This is the best heat press around at the moment, and makes use of the Heat Press app for easy projects.

Cricut EasyPress 3 9 x 9in: £179.99 £99.99 at Cricut
Save £50: I just found this price drop at Cricut, making this one of the best EasyPress 3 deals I've seen, ever. This is Cricut's newest heat press, and is a dream to use with the automated Heat Press app. I've not seem it this cheap before in the UK.

Cricut EasyPress 3 (9 x 9) Everything Iron-On Bundle: £355.89 £209.99 at Cricut
Save £145: Get the latest EasyPress 3 heat press device along with seven iron-on material packs, two tool sets and a heat protective mat for press your projects. With a 45% saving, this is a good bundle deal.

Cricut Explore Air 2: £249.99 £189 at Ryman
Save £60.99: Getting hold of an Explore Air 2 in the UK is really hard right now since Cricut launched Explore 3. Ryman has them, and has a discount. This £60.99 reduction is a good deal on what is still a good craft machine. Will there be better deals? Maybe, but there's also limited stock.

Cricut Explore 3 Everything Materials Bundle: £654.84 £379.99 at Cricut
Save £274.85: This bundle offers the new Explore 3 along with everything you need to get started, including eight material packs, three pen and tool sets and cutting mats.

Cricut Explore 3 Smart Materials bundle: £339 £319.99 at Very
Save £20: If you don't want as many accessories as above, Very is also offering a discount on the Explore 3 plus a set of Smart Materials. You'll get cardstock, vinyl, iron-on , transfer tap and a basic tool stuff, which should be enough to get you started.

Cricut Autopress: £799.99 £349 at Cricut
Save $650: This is a huge price drop on a professional heat press Cricut only launched last year - and it's dropped £200 since last week's sale price. If you're making craft designs for a living, this one of the best pro heat presses around (read my Autopress explainer for more).

Cricut Maker and basic tool set: £379.99 £249.99 at John Lewis
Save £130: This bundle has everything you need to get started with Cricut. The Cricut Maker comes in Rose, with a basic set of tools so you can make your own jewellery, paper art, decorations and more, and costs under £250.

Cricut Joy Vinyl Machine £179.99 £107.95 at Amazon
Save £72.04: The Cricut Joy is a compact cutting machine for crafting small items like labels, stickers and greetings cards. And Amazon has cut its Cricut Joy price even further, now just £107.95.
