How could I persuade my parents to buy me a Cricut Expression?

I am a 14-year-old girl that really wants a Cricut Expression. They’re “fun, easy, and fast.” One of my friends has one and she really, really likes hers, and I’m always trying to find ways to be more creative. They cost a bunch. Which is about 400 dollars including S&H, and 400 dollars isn’t anything to play with. Please help.

Cricut Replacement Mats

Designed for use with the Cricut Expression machine, this set of two cutting mats offers a simple way to accurately trim paper, vinyl, and other media for use with crafting projects. The durable units feature a thin layer of tacky adhesive, which gently grips materials and holds them flat to prevent tearing or shifting during trimming. Printed with easy-to-read rulers and measurement markings, the mats remove the guesswork from cutting, which means fewer mistakes and less wasted paper. Best of all, the reusable units last anywhere from 25 to 40 full mat cuts (depending on the type of paper cut), making them a smart and efficient addition to crafting collections. Generously sized to hold a variety of paper or cardstock for scrapbooking, card-making, and other paper crafts.

This 12″ x 12″ or 12″ x 24″ cutting mat is custom designed for cutting the most intricate shapes with the Cricut Expression machine. Its large area means you can cut bigger images than is possible for most traditional die cutting machines. The surface treatment gently adheres to cardstock, vinyl, and other material to ensure smooth and accurate cuts every time. Printed rulers and markings facilitate convenient and accurate use. Gently adheres to paper to ensure smooth and accurate cuts every time. Includes 2 mats.
