If you’re looking for a way to add a personal touch to your Father’s Day or graduation gifts, the Cricut Joy 2 can help you personalize everything from water bottles and bookmarks to greeting cards and gift tags. the Cricut Joy 2 Rainbow Basic Kit Includes enough vinyl, cardstock, iron-on materials and other supplies to create up to 75 projects, and is currently down to a new low of $119.99 ($50 off) at Amazon.

As someone who has never used a cutting machine before, I found the Cricut Joy 2 relatively easy to use. Package includes a Trial Cricut Access for 30 days This helps by giving you access to hundreds of additional templates, images, and fonts while you figure things out. Setup is simple, and while Design Space takes some getting used to, I found it much easier to navigate after a few days of messing around with different projects and watching tutorials from the Cricut community.

What’s particularly cool about the Joy 2 is that it brings Cricut’s Print Then Cut feature to the company’s entry-level machine, allowing you to print full-color designs on your home printer and then have the Joy 2 cut them for you. Although it’s great for creating personalized gifts, I’ve also used it to create note templates and closet labels, which makes it look as functional as it is fun. The package also includes iron-on materials to customize t-shirts, totes, and other fabric items. Unlike the Ultimate package I tested, the Rainbow Basic package doesn’t include a heat press, so you’ll need one Buy it yourself. It’s also small enough to leave on a desk or put away when you’re not using it, which is a great feature if you’re really short on storage space like me.
