GillianCrackers™ Old Fashioned, Hand-Wrapped, Christmas Crackers for the holidays
are truly handmade. Brightly wrapped in double layers of tissue with a printed over-wrap, each cracker contains many seasonal treats much like the original Christmas crackers from the Victorian Tradition. If you are ordering several crackers, each one will have a different joke and puzzle for added fun and variety! Two Carols are included and, depending on the size of the order, I arrange them so at least 3 or 4 of the crackers contain the same song for group caroling!

.... Your Christmas crackers brought joy, laughter and ooohs and ahh's to our Christmas morning! We loved the printed tissue crowns and all wore them well into the afternoon. So much nicer than the usual solid color crowns! Mine doubled as a chef's hat! I wore it while I prepared Christmas dinner. It was very festive with the green and red holly print!

We took turns reading our jokes. We hung our little ornaments on the tree and raced to see who could complete their crossword puzzle first.  We all agreed...our son's fiance achieved the loudest "crack" when we popped them open. Thank you so much...we thoroughly enjoyed them! Can hardly wait to see next year's version!

PLEASE ORDER EARLY!
ORDER NOW!!


At this time I have still not been able to find a means of shipping crackers to Britain, Europe or anywhere outside of Canada and the continental United States. There continues to be airline security issues with the little (harmless!) snapper included in each cracker. I am glad to ship the cracker without the snappers to almost anywhere in the world.
