Dos_Box Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Well, after 2 weeks of searching the Dos_Box family is still without any crackers for our Xmas dinner. It's not due to a shortage of them tbh, but rather a lack of any decent ones for our kids and I'd rather the crackers had more inside than random objects that are not really suitable for younger children. Does anyone know where I can get some that have good 'presents' inside for 2 kids with an average age of 6? High street/major supermarket chain for preferance please due to it getting a bit late for postage.
featured_spectre Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 M&S do some decent crackers but they are expensive for what they are.... 1
RoF Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Why not buy some nice looking crackers and slip in your own gifts?
featured_spectre Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 If you're not careful @RoF you'll end up with a good reputation! lol
elsiegee40 Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Extremely expensive Hotel Chocolat ones here chosen by my kids; but they're rather older than yours! The eldest has an NUS card, so we used her student discount when we bought them!
teejay Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Buy some cheap crackers, remove the 'crack' and make your own?

featured_spectre Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 In that case you are laughing My mum got some last year and inside were a wine stopper cork thing, a mini windchime, model silver car, things of that nature. For a box of 12 it cost her £18 or something daft, but she said it was a one off and never again due to the price. The hats weren't cheap flimsy paper either, they were like almost card, and the "jokes" were ridonculous!

rad Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Do what my mum does, make your own - Christmas Cracker Kit - Christmas bits Get what you want and put it inside. My mum does them for £1 per "present" and we have had the likes of a socks, ties and jams etc for grand parents
