Happy Thursday, everyone! This week has flown by, with a holiday on Monday and lots of festivities going on here in Utah. Did you know Amazon Prime Day is almost upon us? This year, it’s more than just a day, too. It’s a whole 48 hours of jaw-dropping deals, and it’s coming up on July 12-13! That being said, we thought we’d help you out with a list of the best things to buy on Amazon Prime Day.
Cricut Products
First up: Cricut products. Ever take a look at the price of a Cricut Maker and feel your heart skip a beat? They can be pretty pricey. That’s why they should be at the top of your list this Amazon Prime Day! Based on past years, there are notoriously awesome price cuts on these amazingly useful craft machines. And I can say from experience that the price tag is worth it, and it doesn’t get more worth it than the price on Amazon Prime Day. If you want the lowdown on why to use a Cricut and which option to choose, see this post.
Here’s a list of Cricut products you’ll want to consider putting on your Amazon Prime Day shopping list:

It’s the perfect thing to pair with crafting supplies you’re about to buy. You’ll be equipped to make so many things! See the previous section for a list of other crafting supplies you’ll thank yourself for buying.
