Crafters will love these early Cricut Prime Day deals
Things are heat(press)ing up already.
Yep, it's that time of year again when we hunt for Cricut Amazon Prime Day deals. The official event kicks off from 23-26 June this year, and we're expecting deals galore on some of the best Cricut machines, plus materials, tools, and blanks for keen crafters.
I've recently joined the Cricut family with my mighty Maker 4 machine, and fell in love all over again after testing the brand new Cricut Joy 2 model recently.
Most people don't realise that Cricut machines aren't just limited to vinyl cutting, and you can create all kinds of things from custom clothes to home decor, engraved pieces and embossed invitations for premium wedding stationery.
You don't need to wait until the official Amazon Prime Day event begins, as I've found several superb Cricut deals rounded up below. Get prepared and sign up for Amazon Prime if you haven't already to make the most of it.

The Cricut Joy Xtra is a great option for those wanting to save space and money, yet without compromising on project compatibility.
The Joy series is less bulky, a bit slower, and not quite as powerful as its siblings – but still offers excellent performance with the ability to cut full sticker sheets and make use of smart materials.

If you've got your eye on the Cricut Maker 4 (the flagship model), then it's absolutely worth opting for the everything bundle, which currently costs the exact same as the machine alone (so it's pretty much free).

If you create a lot of shirts, bags, hoodies, and larger projects using vinyl, then you'll definitely benefit from owning a Cricut EasyPress.

If you're looking for a fun project, I highly recommend the Cricut Printable tattoo sheets. These are amazing for weddings, parties, and just for fun, and can be cut using your Cricut machine. My niece and nephew always beg me to make these when I see them.

Cricut Joy / Joy 2 / and Joy Xtra owners will appreciate this bargain offer on cutting mats. £6 for 3 mats feels almost like stealing, and even though they're not official Cricut-made mats, Nimik is practically giving them away at this price, if you ask me.

How do I get the best Cricut Amazon Prime Day deals?
The best deals during Amazon Prime Day aren't always found on Amazon. My advice is to price-check and cross-reference any Amazon deals you find against the same product on the retailer's official website. Usually, you'll find either the same price with a free shipping or extended warranty offer, or it will be cheaper than Amazon's listing.
To get the most from this sales event, you'll need an Amazon Prime account to see exclusive Prime Member pricing and offers that you might otherwise miss out on, not to mention the next-day and sometimes same-day delivery perks plus access to movies, games, music and TV shows.
I'll be adding in all of the best Cricut deals and offers above, as soon as they happen, so you don't need to stress with deals hunting when the day comes. But be prepared that good Cricut discounts don't always mean simple price drops, and sometimes you need to see beneath the offer for extras that are included.
Are there alternatives to Cricut?
There are a fair few rivals to Cricut's craft machines, but two in particular stand out. First there's Silhouette, a US company that produces machines that match up to Cricut in most categories. Secondly, HTVRONT offers a broad range of accessories, such as cutting mats, as well as materials like vinyl for crafters that aren't unlike Cricut's official products for a bit less.
Our guide to the best Cricut Alternatives has all the details you need on shopping elsewhere, or take a look at our guide to the best Silhouette machines for more details.
