One-to-one 60-minute Cricut workshop with an experienced Hobbycraft colleague, sold as a gift voucher and booked in store.
Hobbycraft is running one-to-one Cricut workshops at its Edinburgh store, and they're open to anyone who's ever wanted to get a handle on the machine. It's a 60-minute session where you're paired up with an experienced Hobbycraft colleague, so you've got someone right there to walk you through it rather than figuring it out on your own from a manual or a YouTube tutorial.
The whole thing is designed for beginners, but it works just as well if you've already got a machine and just want to sharpen a few things. It doesn't matter which model you're using either — it covers the Maker, the Joy, the Joy Xtra and the Explore, so you can bring in whatever you've got at home and get some proper time with it.
One thing to keep in mind is how it's sold. It's a gift voucher rather than a fixed date, which makes it a decent shout for a present. The voucher stays valid for 12 months from the date you buy it, and the person receiving it books their own session when it suits them. It's not just Edinburgh, either — the workshop runs across 101 Hobbycraft stores across the UK, so it works even if the recipient isn't based here. They do suggest booking at least four weeks in advance, so if you're planning to use it yourself, it's worth getting your date in the diary early.

It costs £28 for the hour, and since it's one-to-one, you've got the full attention of the staff member for the whole session. If you've been staring at your Cricut wondering where to start, this is a straightforward way to get moving.
