Product Information

If there's ever a time for added sparkle, it's Christmas and these Swarovski crackers definitely fit the bill. We can't think of anyone who would be disappointed to find this White Company beauty Christmas cracker at their dinner place setting. Recycling your Christmas crackers is great but reusing them year after year is even better, and these are the crème de la crème of reusable crackers and your new festive family heirloom. For children, there are plenty of crackers with fun games inside, suitable for everyone to enjoy, whereas the adults may appreciate the alcohol-filled offerings instead! Instead, they are shaped like candy canes and printed appropriately with a red and white stripe design brought to life with environmentally friendly glitter.

Hearst UK is the trading name of the National Magazine Company Ltd, 30 Panton Street, Leicester Square, London, SW1Y 4AJ. Those festive dinner table mainstays that add a look of opulence and hold within gifts which won’t be discarded with the paper wrapping.Find a cocktail stirrer, ruler, card holder, pen, bottle opener, keyring, measuring cup and whistle inside. There really is something for everyone, from the adult gin and champagne stopper to the classic slinky spring that will keep little ones entertained. On the reverse of the tag is a QR code that takes you to a joke and a challenge that will have everyone around the table in fits.

But, best of all, they also contain a recipe from the brand's cookbook with a mini kitchen utensil to help you re-create the dish at home. These pretty woodland-themed crackers contain the traditional hat and joke, and a fun after-dinner game to play with the family. The gifts inside should please too: crayons, an eraser, wooden bracelet, wooden spinner, badge, cookie cutter, a large wooden dice and a bouncy ball.A brief history: crackers were invented by Tom Smith in the mid-1800s when the London-based confectioner was inspired by the sugared almond bonbons wrapped in a twist of tissue paper he had seen while on a trip to Paris. Think the White Truffle Toastie recipe with small grater or the Red Salad with Beetroot recipe with a mini oil pourer.

Each cracker has been opened with a fellow tester, the contents assessed for quality and usability, the jokes tested for belly laughs and how friendly the components are to the planet. There’s also a black chalkboard tag so that you can personalise each for your guests with chalk or use the gold sticky letters that come in the box. There are now crackers for pets, children and versions especially for adults – think boozy treats inside. It all depends on your personal preference but as a starting point, you should consider how many guests you’ll have, and whether they’d prefer something traditional or a contemporary luxury Christmas cracker.Inside you'll find a variety of useful gifts; a pomegranate rose hand sanitiser, a traditional tea strainer, a three-minute tea timer, a Fortnum's waffle tea towel in Eau de Nil, a wine stopper and a champagne stopper. Nowadays, you can expect luxurious, beautifully designed Christmas crackers that complement any dinner table or festive event. This set contains four crackers with London Dry Gin, Lemon Drizzle Gin, Orange and Cacao Gin, a warming Sloe Gin.

The quality is exceptional, the designs fun, and we can see these being passed down through generations like vintage Christmas decorations. Each cardboard cracker contains a mini bottle of spirit and a perfectly paired Fever-Tree mixer – enough to get merry but not too merry.

While some of the crackers in this round-up include gifts for children, we can imagine some adults being reluctant to share, so we’ve included these especially for little ones this Christmas. They’ll also be keen to don their special party hats and share the rib-tickling jokes around the table. Inside you’ll find a nifty trinket for your kitchen drawers, such as a bottle opener, a money clip or a selection of cookie cutters. Kiddies will also love what’s inside, whether they get a cute animal eraser, paperclip, sparkling star brooch or puzzle – our young testers approved. Plus, there's a cracker to suit everyone – the foodies, the drink enthusiasts and even the beauty lovers – so treat and spoil your guests this year with a truly special Christmas cracker.
