Holiday Gifting with Cricut

Holiday Gifting with Cricut

Y’all, I don’t know about you, but it feels like we have to buy or make gifts for approximately 9,452,371 people every single holiday season. And, I really do love it, however, my budget does not. This year, like every year, we make homemade treats for the clients of our family business.

This review is based strictly on my opinion. Others may have a different opinion or experience with the product listed. I was provided the sample free of charge and paid a small fee by the company or PR agency and I provided my honest opinion.

If you decide to make a purchase through my links, I will be paid a small commission for it. This doesn’t cost you anything additional. These commissions help to keep the rest of my content free, so thank you!

I was a busy little elf in the kitchen making my family’s favorite oatmeal cookies, peanut butter cookies, cracker toffee, and peppermint bark this week. We packaged all of the treats in small cello bags with twine, and we could have popped them in a small holiday bucket and called it a day…but, we wanted to make it a little more personal. Thankfully, I always have a Michaels amount of Iron On at my house, so I was able to quickly create inexpensive holiday kitchen towels to put in baskets with the goodies!

You know I had to pull out my gorgeous gold Cricut® Explore Air™ 2 Special Edition, Martha Stewart Machine Bundle and beautiful new Cricut EasyPress 2 Martha Stewart Edition to get the job done! Those two tools, paired with the Martha Stewart signature style with the volume and variety of premium Cricut materials promises to inspire your most imaginative projects ever.
