Watch the Christmas episode of The Good Life (think the episode is titled "Silly But It's Fun"?), Tom gives instructions on how to make DIY crackers.👍

Depends what guests are into, and what you want to spent, but you could give individual gifts. My mum used to pimp up regular crackers when I was young:

-Lip gloss/chapstick type sticks
-Those little rollers with lavender and fragrance to help sleep. Aldi had some this year, but keihls/boots and other brands sell them
-Packet of seeds
-Mini liquor bottles (mini bar type)
-Chocolate bar
-Earrings
-Fold up shopping bag
-Nice writing pen
-Key ring
-Proper bottle opener
-Swiss army knife
-Hair clips/scrunchies

Lindt chocolate Reindeer. I buy cheap crackers, untie one end, add chocolate and re-tie with new ribbon

You might get a very small child into a very big cracker but you're never going to fit an adult in one. 🤣

It’s a lovely idea. I second the tiny Molton Brown shower gels.
