Gift Ideas for the Cricut Machines

If they own a Cricut, you can give them accessories to complement it.

  • The knife blade  – allows you to cut thick material – I am talking balsa wood, veneer, chipboard, and leather! (Works only with Cricut Maker)
  • Engraving tip with QuickSwap Housing – great for engraving materials like acrylic and aluminum. (Works only with Cricut Maker)
  • StrongGrip Machine Mat – to use with materials that need the knife blade
  • StandardGrip Mat  – the most commonly used mat.
  • Scoring wheel – to create nice crisp score lines – perfect for paper-crafts. (Works only with Cricut Maker)
  • Pens and markers  – come in many many styles!
  • Weeding Tools, Brayer, etc – to help weed your designs, pick them up, etc.
  • Various raw materials (prices vary) – vinyl, paper, chipboard, etc.
  • Cricut EasyPress Mini – This is a great tool for heat transfer projects, but I also like to use it to apply veneer to plywood edges on my furniture!
  • Cricut Hat Press – Making personalized hats is so much fun!

    I used to be an “artist”–painting, drawing, pixel art, sculpting, animating, all of that. 😀 As someone who prefers remodeling and street fashion now, I can still say that I’d love all of these! Great roundup!! The only other thing I’d add is a Hobby Lobby giftcard, lol. 😉
