Need to get some. Choices of shops here are:
Next
BHS
M+S
Paperchase
WH Smith's
Sainsbury's
Monsoon

That's about it. Are any of them any good?
Particularly interested in any that'd be good for an under-3 as we will have a couple of those for Xmas dinner. As in guests, not turkey substitutes.

I've just bought 12 "family crackers" from sainsbury's for £2.50 - I'm sure they will be absolute pants. But after years of seeking out fancy crackers with nice gifts and always finding them a bit rubbish anyway, thought I would go the other direction. Maybe you could experiment - get a pack of cheapo ones like that and see if you can open them down one side and slide in nice/age-appropriate gifts.

ive just bought 12 for £15 from Sainsbos for dd1s birthday party - I picked them as they have decentish kids presents in - hippo scrubbing brush, puzzle keyring, heart shaped mirror etc. No joke though! only a dull fact.

I got ours from The Christmas Cracker Shop in Covent Garden and they have a finger puppet inside each one. I hate the plastic crap that usually comes in them so I thought these would be great as the kids will keep the puppets. They were £10.99 for 6 - so not cheap, but I am pleased.
