With Black Friday around the corner, we're doing the groundwork to make sure we'll find the very best offers on Cricut across all retailers. That means weighing up what we've seen before and any new releases to predict what might be discounted, and looking for early deals.

Though the biggest sales event of the year actually begins on November 24, sales often begin at the very beginning of November – with some deals even popping up earlier than that. So if you're looking for a bargain on Cricut, you might be surprised at how early they'll be around. 

On this page we'll answer some of the burning questions around the topic. And as it gets closer to the time, here is where we'll put the best Cricut offers so you don't need to hunt. So whether you want top Black Friday Cricut Maker 3 deals or Cricut Joy Black Friday bargains, be sure to bookmark this page and come back to it. Want something different? See our Apple Black Friday hub page.

Not sure which model is right for you? Our guide to the best Cricut machines will help (and it's also worth checking out our best laptops for Cricut piece to make sure you're totally ready to craft).

What is Cricut, anyway?

Cricut is a blade-cutting machine, which can do everything from quilting to paper crafts and even wood working and clothing design, it really is the do-all gift. These brilliant cutting machines enable you to create a design on a computer and then automatically cut it out from material such as paper, vinyl, card, felt, fabric, leather or matboard. 

All you need to know about Cricut Black Friday

Do Cricuts ever go on sale for Black Friday?

Cricut machines are often subject to some healthy discounts on Black Friday. We've seen discounts across the range, often saving hundreds of dollars. If you want to take up digital crafting, Black Friday is genuinely a great time to get all the kit you need to get going. And if you've been looking to upgrade your current machinery or accessories, we recommend doing so in this period.

Does Cricut do Cyber Monday?

Yes, historically Cricut has offered significant discounts on Cyber Monday. Black Friday discounts often run into Cyber Monday, and new discounts also appear on this day. Last year we saw bundle deals as well as offers on new machines and accessories. 

What is the best cheap Cricut to buy?

We think the Explore Air 2 is the best Cricut for price (and therefore best for new users who are just trying it out). It's a bit less powerful than other machines in the range, but it still packs a healthy range of features. But with possible discounts on other machines over Black Friday, it's possible you'll be able to find a more powerful Cricut at a considerable discount, opening up possibilities.

Cricut Black Friday: Sale predictions

We expect the offers to be close to what we've seen before. That means reductions on older machines like the Cricut Joy, Cricut Explore Air 2 and smaller machines like the HeatPress. We'd love to say we'll see offers on the new Venture but nothing is guaranteed in the sales world. We also expect to bundle deals (perfect for getting started) and reductions on accessories, too.
