Amazing crackers

Seven of us for dinner and i want really fun crackers, ideally with a game of some sort rather than gift.

Previous years we have had racing Santa's, who am I, and musical whistles.

Any recommendations?

I saw some Taskmaster ones the other day.

I've just googled and there are only 6 of them sadly.

They look fab! To be fair two of the seven are ages 9 and 10 so I could forgo mine as I'm sure we would need to help them. I don't wear a cracker hat anyway I have a special Santa hat

My mum used to buy regular crackers, but pimped them!
She'd slightly open one end and add in things of choice- like better quality gadgets/toys/packet of seeds. That might be a cheaper option than finding expensive more crackers, and you could buy the bits you want online/separately.

Maybe a bit much like the whistles but we had little hand bells one year. Made for much hilarity! It then doesn't matter if there are only 6 as you need a conductor

Kukoo crackers have lots of different options - games, mini Lego type things etc. only 6 in a box but good fun

Then I can use them for tree decorations in future years

Thank you

What a great idea!

We are getting the handbell ones this year

@slithytoveisascientist those look brilliant!

I literally just ordered 6 wind up toys for races but now I am wondering if I should get these and try and slip the toys in too... Or move them to being stocking presents.

Luckily I didn't buy the set to make the crackers yet!
