Bed Bath and Beyond here generally get a couple of types of crackers. Last year they were better than the ones from World Market.

Re: Christmas Crrackers
If you order them from Amazon or Ebay, make sure to pay attention to the measurements. I ordered some thinking they were a bargain and they were teeny tiny crap things 
Good luck!!!
And make sure you make it clear to the Americans in the house that they have to wear the silly hat for the whole of dinner!!!

Re: Christmas Crrackers
The British Shop in Houston have them, but they are mega bucks...
In previous years we've picked them up at World Market, but our nearest one closed down recently. I saw them somewhere else last year and thought "huh - have to remember that" .... and of course, now I can't

Re: Christmas Crrackers
I purchased them at target last year, and this year have already seen them in costco.
We bought cadbury advent calendars over with us last year, and my sister is visiting us in a few weeks, so they are on the shopping list ive given her
I dont recall seeing chocolate advent calendars here last year, but i didnt properly look for them.

Yep - World Market or some high end grocery stores. Occasionally Marshalls etc but buy when you see them - don't expect to find 'better!'

TJ Maxx and Marshalls have the best ones around here. I can't wait. Need to start looking out for chestnuts too.

Along with the Christmas theme when do you start posting cards and presents back to the UK?
