Fill your own crackers

[justwanttoweeinpeace]

Got all excited and bought a pack, but then got a bit stuck.

I'm looking for fillers to keep two middle aged men, a three year old DS and me happy.

Anyone seen anything good? What are you putting in yours?

TIA

I have bought DM a small bracelet with an engraved disc on it for hers (has been a shit year for her, normally it would be a miniature of whiskey!)
We get anything ranging from miniatures, chocolates, small wind up toys (the chattering teeth year is a particularly fondly remembered one) scratch cards and so on.

DS and 2 nieces (7,6,4) have 2 small tsum tsums and a chocolate lolly from ALDI.
Nephew (7 months) will have a festive bin but I need to get one.

Bib not bin 😂

I just buy a pack of normal crackers and open one end to take the gift out. This leaves the joke and hat in and then I add any off the following:
Keyring torch
Trolley token
Mini bottles
Aftershave/perfume samples
Small soaps
Lipgloss
Hand cream
Finger lights
Wind up toys
Mini Lindt teddy bears
Lottery ticket/scratch card
Mini telescope
Ear rings/bracelets etc

Ooh, the lottery ticket is a great idea. I have no clue what DBIL really likes so that ticks a big box.

We're all having blind bags of Lego mini figures and a chocolate truffle(sprout)

Home Bargains was great last year for this- they had traditional puzzles in match boxes for very cheap.
Lip balm/ vasaline tubs
Sweets in a tube ( mentos, rolos etc)

I did homemade crackers last year and my youngest has requested again this year - oh what have i started! Gifts were SO much better mind you and we all had great fun swaping the puzzles so maybe a good tradition to start.

with that range of ages I'd be looking at small magic tricks, the men can keep the 3 y/o happy for hours with little conjuring tricks

Miniature bottles of booze for the adults. Lego/a small puzzle for the kid.

i add a scratch card to shop bought crackers
