Christmas Crackers!

PrincessTazza

Does anyone know of any good deals on crackers? I'd like decent ones, ideally with things that you can actually use instead of the usual "tat!"

Cheers! _party_

Well it rather depends on your budget, but I'd guess these are out of the question, even if they do include Swarovski trinkets :eek: :eek: :eek:

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I was in the store last week and they are breathtaking ...

Why not make your own....you can buy a cracker kit for 6 from 'The Works' for £1.99 and fill them with whatever you want. The gifts can be as cheap or expensive as you want. I'm doing this myself and am putting the baileys miniature sample I got on the freebies board in one. Other gifts I have included in the past have been a necklace, usb pen, mini lego kits for the kids, perfume, and chocolate gold coins.

Oooo, I'll take 5 boxes please! Good grief, do people actually buy these? Obviously more money than sense! :rotfl:

British Home Stores have prizes of gift vouchers in some of their crackers. They are £10 for a family set of 12 or a luxury set of 6 and the luxury set have silver looking things like nail clippers, photo frame etc

House of Fraser have some expensive looking ones with 30 per cent off, so quite a good price, £8 originally i think...

Not much help but i bought mine in the january sales for 75% off...

BHS crackers were 1/2 price. I used to add gifts to mine. I used to squeeze in small vials of perfume through the end!
