$119
Cricut Joy

Amazon is offering the Cricut Joy for $119.20 shipped. Down from its $179 list price and around $130 normal going rate these days, this discount marks the third-best price that we’ve tracked outside of a drop to $99 on Black Friday and $114 in October. Cricut Joy is the company’s most budget-friendly machine, offering the ability to create small cards and signs with ease. The main thing to keep in mind with the Joy is its work surface is quite small, limited to just under 4.5-inches wide, though Smart Materials allow you to make cuts up to 20-feet long. But, if all you want to do is make cards or compact projects, the Cricut Joy is a fantastic option. Take a closer look in our hands-on review. Head below for more.

With your savings, we recommend picking up the Cricut Tools Basic Kit for $13 on Amazon. Included here you’ll find tweezers, scissors, spatula, and a weeder to make cleaning up both vinyl or paper projects a breeze. In addition to that, consider checking out the Cricut Brayer, which will become an invaluable part of your Cricut setup. Though it won’t be necessary if you stick to Smart Materials, the Brayer is a must-have for vinyl or paper projects you use the included mat for. It’s $15 on Amazon and will become a go-to tool when creating.

The unique thing about the Cricut Joy is it’s entirely Bluetooth, meaning you don’t even have the option to plug it into your computer. Instead of using a desktop or laptop for the Joy though, we recommend picking up Apple’s latest iPad mini while it’s on sale for $629. You’ll find both Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity available as well as 64GB of storage. The latest iPad mini also packs an edge-to-edge Retina display, Apple Pencil support, and more. You’ll be able to connect to the Joy over Bluetooth with the iPad for a cord-free experience that lets you easily design and cut in just minutes.
