Xmas crackers? Sorry if done before!

[eightsixandtwo]

Need about 40!!!(Hosting twice!!) I can't stand those ones with the naff tat so can anyone recommend some which are reasonable in price and have got semi decent tat gifts in them? Seen the M&S ones and they look ok, anyone seen any more

WHS Smith had some nice ones too. Plus they have a 20% off voucher for this week.

Tesco have ones that you can make yourself so can put whatever you like in them.......if you can be arsed that is.

Depends on age and numbers - probably no good for very LOs - but we had lots of fun with these Concerto Crackers (come with 8 whistles of different pitch and simple-to-follow music sheets for the 'conductor' to guide you all in some seasonal tunes. There was something about the sight of my very solemn DH, a party hat slipping down over one eye (lunchtime wine had heen taken) grappling for the right whistle to come in on his cue - one beat late every time (and sometimes the wrong whistle.)

I've bought the Handbell ones this year.

After all the gift is a bit crap and uselesss no matter if you pay £20 or £5.

debenhams have some reduced from £20 to £10 for 12, we had them last year the gifts are the better end of the xmas tat scale.

I bought some in Waitrose last week that you put your own gift into. I think they were a fiver and are quite attractive looking. I'm going to do a lottery or scratch card in each...worried it's a bit tacky though!

Probably the same ones as Boogying mentions. John Lewis, £5 for 6. They are recycled and contain everything (hat joke etc)except the present.

Would take 1 minute to insert a small bar of chocolate, mini shower gel, lipgloss or whatever (that's what I am putting in ours)
