Christmas Crackers
My friends have decided that they are coming to our house for a mid-winter Christmas on the 20th (it's also our 22nd wedding anniversary 
). I am trying to get hold of some Christmas crackers but not having much luck. Have asked at Whitcoull's & looked in the Big Red Shed. Any ideas where I can get some? I shall be too busy cooking & cleaning to have time to make my own!

Re: Christmas Crackers
Fabulous sites ladies. Thanks 
Rustie, I only need 12 crackers & don't want to pay too much. The 2nd site you gave doesn't have any crackers unfortunately but hey I'm hooked! I love the Oktoberfest stuff. Must mention that to my best mate, she's Bavarian.

Re: Christmas Crackers
I think i wrote to them and they did have them, but i will check the home email to ensure it was the right one!
This is the reason that i now buy them at the REd shed when they reduce their expensive ones down to $7 a box just after Christmas Day!

Re: Christmas Crackers
Don't order anything yet - I know I have some at home - I'll see how many and if there are 12 you're welcome to them. I'll get back to you this evening.

Rustie - good planning. I shall do the same next year. However, I was planning a nice, quiet romantic dinner out with Hubbie but our friends have other ideas

Re: Christmas Crackers
I looked for some myself last weekend and am kicking myself for not saving some from December. The Warehouse does have 'Party Crackers' with the kids party stuff. They're essentially Christmas crackers, except they're not decorated in a Christmasesque fashion.
I'm sure in previous years shops have had Christmas stuff in for mid-winter, but nothing much around this year. I did however see frozen Turkeys at the supermarket today $65
