want my crackers to go with a bang - but what to put in them??!!

[sunshineandshowers13]

The plan is (i think) to make my own crackers. Have sussed the whole "package" part of the cracker but am struggling what the heck to put in them

have 3 kids - dd1 is 12, ds is 9 and dd2 is 8. Also have 2 sets of parents and my grandparents, dh and me.

could be novelty or cheeky or funny or something a bit nicer?
am open to all and every suggestion please mner's

What's your budget?

This year I'm putting in a troll bead for DD, a pair of earrings for me and a memory stick for DH. Then to use up the other 3 another day I'm putting in a Christmas lottery scratch card and a chocolate.

In the past I've put in cigars, my dad has used indoor fireworks (so everybody gets one and then they are lit at the end of the meal), mini perfume, cufflinks, a small tube of my MIL's favourite handcream, vouchers (have to be paper as credit card style ones don't fit). I also once rammed a pair of socks in, but that was a squeeze.

Most jewellery would fit, and small toys or stationery might be good for the DC. Chocolate is always good, but that's true even without a cracker. Miniture alcohol/ spirits fit in nicely, but be careful when you pull the cracker.

Off the top of my head:

hair clips/slides/scrunchies
badges
Matchbox car
lipgloss/lipstick
eyeshadow
mini handbag pen
key ring
bookmark
tiny soft toy
packs of seeds for a gardener

Quite a lot of things will fit in a cracker if you remove them from their packaging first, so don't let it put you off.

mini sparklers?

I've just made mine this morning!

For DH I put in a trio of teeny whiskey bottles here

I got myself a miniature vanilla vodka from the same website

For DD (5) have put in a couple of moshi monster moshling figures which cost me 99p for 2 in a bag in Sainsbury's half price toy sale

For my mum I got a miniature bottle of perfume from, you guessed it, the same website

For my dad I got him a silver keyring

I have also put a Christmas scratchcard in each.

ooh thank you for these

am liking the seeds for a gardener idea - mil is very tricky
tbh am wavering between going for small very nice things or cheap and cheerful. Hadnt thought of a scratchcard either wich i think would be nice
