2. Birthday Number Earrings

These birthday number earrings are such a fun Cricut project – and honestly, the perfect little gift if you want something cute, personal, and easy to make. Just grab some glitter acrylic (Pastel Multi or Gold Multi looks amazing), cut out the birthday number with your Cricut, and attach earring posts or hooks. That’s it. They’re lightweight, totally customizable, and they make any birthday outfit feel extra special. You could match them to her party colors, pair them with a handmade card, or even whip up a few as party favors if you’re feeling extra. Trust me, these sparkle just right.

3. Custom Year Vintage 40th Birthday Tote Bag with Her Favorite Quote

This tote makes such a fun Cricut birthday gift – especially for her 40th. The design is super simple to recreate: “Vintage” in a cute Boho-style script, plus her birth year above or underneath. You can totally customize it with her favorite quote or even her name to give it a personal twist. Just cut the design using your Cricut and some HTV, then press it onto a blank tote bag. It’s stylish, practical, and perfect for carrying all her essentials – and it’s way more special than anything store-bought. Get the tote bag from here.

4. Funny Custom Birthday T-Shirt

This one’s always a hit – a custom birthday shirt with their face on it and a fun quote. All you need is your Cricut, a blank tee, and a sense of humor. Upload their photo, add their name and birth year, and you’ve got a hilarious, personalized shirt that’s perfect for the birthday party (or just embarrassing them in the best way). It’s fun, wearable, and makes them feel like the star of the day. Trust me, it’ll get laughs and compliments.

Use a Cricut Maker, Explore Air 2, or Explore 3 to cut your design – anything that handles HTV. The Joy could work for a small chest design, but for full-size face prints, you’ll want a machine with more cutting space. And if you’ve got an EasyPress, even better – it’ll make pressing the vinyl way faster and cleaner.

5. Birthday Cake Topper to Elevate Her Cake

So you’ve got the perfect birthday gift all picked out, but why not take it up a notch with a personalized touch? Enter the birthday cake topper! This little gem may not be the main event, but it’s definitely the cherry on top of the cake (literally)! With just a few simple materials, you can create a show-stopping, customized 3D topper that will make the birthday girl feel extra special. All you need is some cardstock, a Cricut machine, and a bit of creativity to make a one-of-a-kind creation that she’ll remember for years to come.

6. Birthday Wall Hanging

Want to make a birthday gift that doubles as party decor? This DIY birthday banner is such a fun Cricut project and makes the whole setup feel extra special. Use iron-on vinyl to add “Happy Birthday” and a favorite quote onto soft cloth or canvas – something that fits her vibe. It’s simple, personal, and looks way more thoughtful than store-bought signs. I’d use a Cricut Maker or Explore machine for this one so you can cut larger lettering easily, but if you only have a Cricut Joy, you can still make it work by piecing your design in sections. Hang it behind the cake table or as a photo backdrop, and boom – instant party upgrade. Whether you go classy or playful with your design, this banner is one of those Cricut birthday gifts she’ll actually want to keep after the party.

7. DIY Family Birthday Calendar

Know someone who always forgets birthdays? This DIY family birthday calendar is the kind of gift that’s both thoughtful and insanely useful. You can make it with your Cricut and a few budget-friendly supplies – think thrifted art, wood rounds, vinyl, and a little creativity. Personalize it with names and dates, then hang the tags with cotton cord or S-hooks for a clean, simple look. A Cricut Maker or Explore works great for cutting the names and months, but if you’re using a Cricut Joy, you can totally break it into sections. It’s the kind of handmade gift that turns into a family keepsake – and they’ll think of you every time they check it. Check out this tutorial here.

8. Cute Name Sign for her Room

This one’s a total showstopper – a big custom wooden name sign you can cut yourself with your Cricut Maker. These are super popular on Etsy, but instead of spending $200+, you can DIY it using basswood and your knife blade. Just design the name in Cricut Design Space, slice it into sections to fit your 8×12 basswood sheets, and cut each piece on a strong grip mat. Once it’s all cut, you’ll glue the sections together, sand the edges, and paint it however you like. Hang it in a nursery, bedroom, or office for a personalized touch that feels luxe without the crazy price tag. Want to make it pop even more? Try sealing it with resin or mounting it on a wood round. Here is a quick tutorial on how to cut big signs with your Cricut.

9. Birthday Plant Pot with Vinyl Stickers

This Cricut project is such a cute and easy birthday gift – just grab a plain plant pot and add a custom vinyl sticker with your Cricut. You can go with something sweet like her name or something fun like “You Glow Girl” for a little extra birthday energy. Use permanent vinyl so it sticks well, and feel free to play around with colors or fonts to match her vibe. Want to make it even better? Pop in a small plant or succulent and boom,  you’ve got a personalized gift that’s thoughtful, low effort, and actually useful. It’s simple, creative, and guaranteed to make her smile.

10. Handmade Shadow Box with Name & Paper Rose Flowers

This DIY shadow box with paper rose flowers is such a pretty and personal birthday gift – and it looks way more expensive than it actually is. You can customize it with her name, a favorite quote, or even a small photo to turn it into a keepsake she’ll want to display. Just grab your Cricut, some cardstock, and a shadow box frame. Cut the flowers and lettering, then layer them inside to build a dimensional, elegant design. The paper roses add a soft, feminine touch that works for any space – bedroom, office, or nursery.
