    Planning a DIY Holiday? Looking for handmade gift ideas? Here are more than 27 cute Personalized Gifts you can make with a Cricut Machine.

    Personalized DIY Christmas gifts

    This is sponsored content, I work as a Brand Ambassador for Cricut.

    • Cute and Unique DIY Personalized Christmas Gifts made with a Cricut
    • Cricut Products I Recommend and Use

    One of the things I love most about my Cricut Machine is that it allows me to personalize all of my DIY & Craft projects. I can change a name, change a color or add a fun element to a project to make it totally my own.

    Cute and Unique DIY Personalized Christmas Gifts made with a Cricut

    My Cricut machine gets a work out every Holiday season as I use it to create a lot of handmade gifts! If you’re looking for some cute and unique DIY Christmas gift ideas that you can make with your Cricut, I’ve rounded up more than 27 for you today.

    Before we get to the list though, let’s talk Cricut products! I’ve listed below the Cricut products that I recommend and use most often. (hint: they make great gifts as well)

    Cricut Products I Recommend and Use

    Cricut Maker Machine: If you’re planning to cut fabric or wood then I recommend the Maker. It features tools that can be “swapped” out that cut, engrave and emboss. It’s cuts fabric like its butter!

    Cricut Explore Air 2: If you’re ONLY going to cut paper or iron-on vinyl then I recommend the Explore Air. It cuts beautifully and if you don’t need the extra features you can beat the price savings.

    Cricut EasyPress: I LOVE my EasyPress it’s changed how I work with iron-on completely! It actually sticks when you use the EasyPress. If you’re making bags and t-shirts then I recommend the large size. If you’re working on a variety then the small is the most economical and versatile.

    Recommended Cricut Accessories:

    • Replacement Mats -FYI: The set is HALF off right now.
    • Cricut Tools (great for weeding vinyl)
    • Iron-On Protective Sheet (used when layering Iron-On Vinyl)
    • Transfer Tape (I use it when I cut felt to keep my Cricut mat fresh)

    Personalized Christmas Gifts You can Make With a Cricut

    Use your Cricut Machine to personalized some cute Christmas decorations to give as gifts. From signs to PJ's, there are so many cute ideas floating around the web.
