I'm already seeing better Cricut Black Friday deals than last year – this is a great sign

Cricut Maker 3: $429.99 $349 at Joann
Save $80: I love Cricut's current flagship cutting machine, the Maker 3, which added support for Cricut Smart Materials – and this is the lowest price I've ever seen - this offer at Joann is the lowest I've found.

Cricut Maker 3 Essentials Materials Bundle: $702 $389 at Cricut
Save $313: Like I said, Cricut Black Friday deals on the Maker 3 cutting machine tend to be on bundles (except the exception above!), but they can save you a packet on Cricut's pricey materials and accessories, which you're going to need at some point anyway. This is one of the best I've seen, as it not only comes with a selection of materials and tools but also a subscription to Cricut Access!

Cricut Maker 3: £399.99 £348.99 at Amazon
Save 19%: This is the only UK deal on a standalone Cricut Maker 3, and it's a small but welcome price drop. Note: be careful when looking at Maker 3 deals, the current RRP is £399,99 but some sights use the older £429.99 to make deals look better. I've adjusted the real RRP for the above deal.

Cricut Maker 3 Everything Bundle + subscription: £633.85 £439.99 at Cricut
Save £193.86: In the UK, Cricut also has several early Black Friday bundle deals for the Cricut Maker 3. This one gets you the machine itself with sets of tools and a decent supply of vinyl and iron-ons to start with. It also comes with a sub to Cricut Access for free projects and discounts.

Cricut Venture + Materials bundle: $1,277 $799 at Cricut
Save $478: The UK Cricut Venture bundle deal below isn't as good as this US offer, and in fact Cricut reduced this by further $50 since we spotted the deal last week. There's also $300 off the standalone machine – now $699.

Cricut Venture + Materials bundle: £1,035.40 £949 at Cricut
Save £84.41: Cricut's new large scale professional cutter, the Venture, has a bundle deal at the Cricut store. It's a small discount in the UK. There's also £85.41 off the Venture + Stand bundle.

Cricut Joy: $149 $99 at Amazon
Save $50: I love this portable craft cutter, particularly for card making and paper crafts. This is a great deal, the lowest price I've seen it go for actually. Great for cards, labels and more. There's also a great Joy bundle deal for $247.89 $102 that comes with the essential materials as well as a free Cricut Access sub (which you need).

Cricut Joy Xtra Materials bundle: $293.93 $169 at Cricut
Save $124.93: There's a tiny saving on the new Cricut Joy Xtra via this bundle deal. As this is one of Cricut's newest machines I wouldn't expect a hardware discount, but it signals more bundles could be on the way.

Cricut Joy Insert Card bundle: £247.38 £179.99 at Cricut
Save £67.39: This one has gone up by £30 so the deal isn't as good as last week. There are a number of Joy bundles around at the moment but in my opinion this Card Insert pack is the best for getting up and running with this small craft machine.

Cricut Joy: £149.99 £128.15 at Amazon
Save 20%: The tiny Cricut Joy is one of the brand's best-selling craft cutters and right now Amazon has £20 off. Note: I've adjusted the Amazon price to represent the actual RRP of the Joy, which is now £149.99.

Cricut EasyPress 3 12 x 10in: $249.99 $129.99 at Cricut
Save $120: The Cricut EasyPress 3 is an updated version of the craft machine brand's heat press that adds an option to connect to the Cricut Heat app, which can be useful. This week there's a further $60 off. This saving is on the largest version of the machine, but there are also discounts on the smaller versions and on EasyPress 3 bundles.

Cricut Hat Press: £139.99 £89.99 at Cricut
Save £50: One of Cricut's interesting heat presses, this one is designed just to print designs onto hats and caps. At this price, this niche heat press becomes a fun gift or treat for any crafter.

Cricut EasyPress 3 12 x 10in: £179.99 £129.99 at Cricut
Save £20: Cricut's newest, largest heat press has a good price drop. This is the best heat press around at the moment, and makes use of the Heat Press app for easy projects.

Cricut EasyPress 3 9 x 9in: £179.99 £129.99 at Cricut
Save £50: I just found this price drop at Cricut, making this one of the best EasyPress 3 deals I've seen, ever. This is Cricut's newest heat press, and is a dream to use with the automated Heat Press app. I've not seem it this cheap before in the UK.

Cricut Explore 3 Everything Materials Bundle: $592 $239 at Cricut
Save $353: Super lightweight, fuss-free remote crafting, the Cricut Explore 3 fast, precision cuts twice as fast as previous models. There are no discounts on the machine, but Cricut has reduced the price of its Everything Bundle, which is great value.

Cricut Explore 3: $299 $249 at Amazon
Save $50: The new Explore 3 is compatible with Cricut's new Smart Materials, which means you can make larger projects and there's no need for a mat. This deal at Amazon equals the lowest price we've seen on this model.

Cricut Explore 3 Everything Materials Bundle: £654.84 £379.99 at Cricut
Save £274.85: This bundle offers the new Explore 3 along with everything you need to get started, including eight material packs, three pen and tool sets and cutting mats.

Cricut Autopress: $999 $299 at Cricut
Save $700: Cricut's large pro heat press is designed to create large quantities of shirts, bags and other items. If you're a pro crafter selling on Etsy, with 70% off, this is a very good deal (but it was better last week). Be warned, it's very large.

Cricut Autopress: £799.99 £549 at Cricut
Save $450: This is a huge price drop on a professional heat press Cricut only launched last year. If you're making craft designs for a living, this one of the best pro heat presses around (read my Autopress explainer for more).
