Christmas crackers
I just received a Crate & Barrel catalogue and they have Christmas crackers in it. It doesn't mention anything about the prizes in the product description. I'm assuming that there's something in them.
Has anybody bought them from C&B before? Are the prizes, etc. the same as ones back home? Or should I expect something different? In fact, is there anything at all inside? The description says "...in bright metallic paper with the traditional 'snap' when pulled." Hmmmm... :confused: |
Re: Christmas crackers
They don't have pressies in them, they have sweets. I've been on a quest to find crackers for a while now. I've given up and am going to get mumsy to try and send me my favourite M&S ones over. Not sure if they'll make it through customs but I'll give it a go.

They have a tonne of different crackers in Pier 1. They're all made in the UK too, so here's hoping..

I forsee a problem. Going to be flying to Cleveland, OH for Crimbo and there's no way I could carry the crackers in even my checked in luggage... Gotta come up with a plan. NC Penguin |

NC Penguin YES: They were better than most I got before in England! They had a joke, a prathat, and a little toy-comb, or plastic jumping frog, or brooch, that kinda thing. They weren't the 'luxury' kind - just good quality common-all-garden ones really! I still have some left from last year for this Christmas, and am hoping that the 'snaps' still snap! |
