This time of year is all about holiday crafting and gifts, whether we like it or not. I choose to like it! In fact, I love it. I like making handmade gifts or adding personal touches to all my gift giving. Cricut has made gift giving and personalization a breeze! I've been using Cricut since 2016 and I am hooked. I use my Cricut nearly daily. I have the Explore Air 2, the Cricut Maker and Cricut Joy. I love them all for different reasons. If I had to just buy one, it would hands-down be the Maker. The Maker has so many options! You may not feel like you need the additional options, but the learning curve is quick and you'll want to keep trying the next thing. Whichever you decide, they are all fabulous and can help you with your Christmas crafting and gift giving. Plus, you can start a holiday side hustle using the Cricut and help out some friends with their gift giving too!
