Homemade crackers

I have decided to make my own crackers this year and have bought the cracker kits from Hobbycraft. The only problem I have now is what to put in them.
Has anyone got any ideas?

    There is another thread all about crackers that I have read today. I think it's a little way down this forum. They have some good ideas.
    I do my own crackers every year.
    Try jewelery, chocs, mini toys-cards, puzzles, miniature smellies. You can really go mad depending on your budget.
    Make sure you know which cracker is for which person then no-one gets disappointed.
    Hope this helps

    We don't have crackers as my mum thinks they are messy! However one idea I've heard is to do secret santa with crackers so everyone makes one cracker (or at least chooses the inside) for one other cracker.
    There is no such thing as a free lunch. Its only free because you've paid for it.

    Noone can have everything they want and the sooner you learn that the better.
