Amazon is offering the all-new Cricut Hat Press for $127.18 shipped. Normally $149, today’s deal is only the second sale that we’ve seen and marks a new all-time low. The Hat Press is one of the latest additions to Cricut’s lineup of ceramic plate heat presses to create custom hats at home. That’s right, the Hat Press is a first for Cricut in that it uses a curved ceramic heat plate which makes it the perfect accessory for hats. In the package, you’ll find the Hat Press itself as well as a form that you wrap the hat around. It connects to your phone over Bluetooth and has many preset options for temperatures, which goes up to 400F/205C depending on what you’re working with.
