The Cricut Black Friday sale has started. This not only means you can save now directly from Cricut, but it means other retailers have been forced to go early too. From my experience of covering many Cricut Black Friday events, this will also mean more discounts are coming later this week, most eye-catching being bundle deals.
Below I'll be tracking the best Cricut Black Friday deals live as they happen, including new price drops on Amazon. One of my favourite offers is £40 off Cricut Explore 3 at Cricut - now £299.99 £259.99, this beginner-craft cutter is always a best-seller during Black Friday and a perfect gift - it's also worth noting it's rarely reduced this much and an earlier lesser deal sold out. US readers can get their hands on an Cricut Explore 3 for $319 $249 - a $70 saving.

Cricut Black Friday: sale predictions
I expect the best Cricut Black Friday deals to come close to matching what we have seen in previous years. That means reductions on older machines like the Cricut Explore Air 2 and on bundles with the newer machines. Cricut has two new craft machines just released, the Venture and the Joy Xtra, so expect good deals on comparable but older machines like the Cricut Joy.
Cricut Black Friday: all you need to know
What is Cricut, anyway?
Cricut is a 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. Its 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.
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 in previous years, with savings of over $100 on the more expensive machines and bundles. If you want to take up digital crafting, Black Friday is one of the best times to get all the kit you need to get started. 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 also offered significant discounts on Cyber Monday. Generally, these are the same Black Friday discounts that run into Cyber Monday. Last year we saw bundle deals as well as offers on 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.
